TAMPA- In their final game of the season, Drunk Again And Looking To Score won their fourth consecutive game in a contest more notable for who was missing and poor defense on each side. DAALTS’ 4-2 victory against Relocators gives the orange-clad drunks the sixth seed heading into the Breaker Division playoffs.
Under the watchful eye of Commissioner Tyrus Gordon in his traditional windbreaker pants and the PAL Lady, the DAALTS (4-6) led 3-0 before sloppy play allowed the Relocators (3-5-2) to tally runs in the 3rd and 4th innings. With captain James Falcon, Jen Joyce, and Bob Marinelli in street clothes (see picture) due to suspension, it seemed as if DAALTS were regressing back to their form when they started the season 0-6. But they held firm in the bottom of the 5th, snuffing out a Relocators rally when Alison Kimball made a diving stop at third base and forced the final out of the game.
“There were times when we were not at our best tonight,” short fielder Ladd Warwick said. “But we recovered and that’s what it’s all about.”
DAALTS began the game with an offensive outburst in the 1st inning. The 2-3-4 kickers all scored, as the Drunks sent eight to the plate. One run in the 4th inning provided insurance.
“I think everyone knows now we can win,” catcher Aron Sullivan said. “We’re not the ‘Loveable Losers’ anymore.”
Relocators finished one spot in ahead of DAALTS in fifth place due to the run differential tiebreaker. Both teams will kick off the division playoffs May 10 at 11am with McLovins facing the Relocators and DAALTS meeting Where My Pitches At. In their first meeting Pitches defeated DAALTS 5-2 in Week One. DAALTS returned the favor with a 5-3 win in the Week Eight matchup.
