Mama Cat O’Brien connecting for her third double of the summer to open what would become the Sea Kittens’ 7-run third inning..
Returning from a four-week stint on the disabled list, Harmony starter Zen Master Rowe showed no ill effects, pitching an efficient 2-walk/ 2-strikeout game and carrying a shutout into the bottom of the sixth inning. Rowe also picked up where he left off with the bat and went 4-4 with a pair of doubles and three runs scored. After issuing a two-base walk to open the game, Rowe settled in nicely and retired 15 of the next 19 Wisco batters, without allowing a runner past second base.

MSCR Monroe League Championship Game: Harmony Sea Kittens (9-1) vs. Swingin’ Eagles (6-4), Wednesday August 15, 2018, Olbrich Park. Field & time TBA! Sea Kittens have won 7 consecutive games and boast the league’s highest-scoring offense and stingiest defense, but Swingin’ Eagles have the distinction of handing the Kits their only loss of the season- a convincing 9-5 win June 6, a game in which the Cats mustered only one run and eight hits after a 4-run first inning. Those who attended the Schultzy-Oele wedding four days prior went a combined 6-18 in the game. Harmony avenged the loss a week later, but struggled through the first four innings of that game and trailed 5-4 before breaking through for 6 runs in the bottom of the fifth en route to a 12-5 win. It’s Sea Kittens’ first Summer League Championship appearance since 2012, when the team routed Team Leah 16-1 for its first and only title. The Fall 2017 Sea Kittens lost to Pitches be Trippin’ 7-6 in the team’s only other title game appearance. Unlike the 2012 Kittens, who were forced to play the game with 9 players- including 2 non-roster subs- the 2018 Sea Kittens will be in full-force, missing only Man-Aaron Jossart and Ropes Curtis.Game Notes
- Jami connected for hits in her first three at-bats
Sweet Thing Harkins had his first home run ball retrieved from the underbrush and returned to him prior to the game. - Coupled with her 4-4 game last week, she became the second woman to collect hits in seven consecutive at-bats. Erin hit safely in seven straight September 6 & 13, 2017, and also holds the team record- eight straight, spanning three games May 13- May 27, 2015
“I have no idea what those words mean.” -Roadrunner Hauer, when told she could be the first SK woman to hit above 0.400 as a Summer League rookie.
- Alex tied Joe’s team record with his 4th triple of 2018… but after coasting into third on what may have been an inside-the-park home run, the softball gods scowled mightily upon him in his next two at-bats.
- Erin set a new record with her 3rd double of the summer- finally erasing that crazy thing where no Kitten woman had ever mustered more than two in a summer season!
- The three times Brad has led off this season, he’s opened the game with a double, triple, and home run. Overall he’s a solid 10-16 in the one-spot… but he’s really blazed when batting down- 10 hits in 12 at-bats. Oh, these lineup decisions for game 11!
- Dan tied Joe for team lead in home runs at 5 apiece
- Remarkably, Brad and Laura batted one time in each of the Cat’s five innings at the plate.
- The 2018 Sea Kittens have whacked 41 doubles in 9 games played (remember the forfeit!), topping the 2016 club’s 36
- The 2018 crew has also collected 66 extra-base hits to out-pace the 61 hit in 2016
- With 8 walks through 9 games, this season’s bunch is still ahead of 2013’s record-low 13 bases on balls accepted… just recall the scouting report that notes Steal Your Base drew 8 consecutive walks off the Swingin’ Eagles pitcher and caused him to become completely unglued.
- We’ll have fun with those after next week’s all-around team performance!
