The ICU Stays Alive

The ICU softball stays alive in the CH Fall Ball playoffs. The ICU won the first game against The Bomb Squad 15-5 in 5 innings and then beat Dinwiddie Sluggers 6-5 in a thriller. In the Dinwiddie game it was a pitchers dual for the most part and the ICU played some tremendous defense. The ICU took the lead 3-1 on 3run Hr by Jordan castanada and the Sluggers tied it at 3 and it stayed that way until the top of the seventh. In the top of the 7 the Sluggers got 2 runs to take a 5-3 lead, but the ICU got 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh to win it. The last run was pretty dramatic with 1 out Rick Toombs the winning run fell down about 15ft from home plate, he got up fell again and started crawling towards home as PACKY rounds third and heads for home and the outfielder throws the ball home plate the catcher tags Packy out for the second out as Ricky reaches and gets his hand on home plate for the winning run. Ricky had to run because I had to have a pinch runner after I injured my hip and hamstring running to first and I am day to day. The ICU will be back in action Monday night at 6:30 and yes it is a do or die game. MICKEY

He wasn't talking to much because he ran right thru Rick Halls stop sign.

I think I should get some credit for the win because I also was blamed for the lose. We were told we jinked the team because we were there.
