Big Rallies Leave Turkeys and Bruisers Tied, 18-18

recap by Sam

The Wild Turkeys' 5-game winning streak came to an exciting end against the Bruisers, but not via a loss that seemed inevitable after the 2nd inning. The Bruisers exploded to score 11 runs in the bottom of the 2nd and take a prodigious 13-1 lead. But we responded in force by scoring the game's next 17 runs over our next three innings at bat. With the tide having swung so clearly in the Turkeys' favor, we took a commanding 18-13 lead into the bottom of the 5th. But then the Bruisers summoned their own big rally to score 5 runs and tie the score. At that point, Sam agreed with Nancy (filling in as Bruisers' manager in Karen's absence) to end the game, because both teams had had plenty of opportunities to bat, and a tie seemed to be the appropriate result for this game.
