O's outmatched

8/24/08
Bridgeport Orators @ Simsbury Taverneers
--------
GAME 1, 1880's rules: LOST via a "mercy forfeit"
GAME 2, 1860's rules: LOST 12-4

There was nothing pretty about Bridgeport's Sunday showing at Simsbury. in what might possibly be the worst 1880's rules showing yet, the Orators faced off against the Taverneers for the first time in the Park City Nine's short history. The O's were simply outmatched. After only a few innings of overhand pitching with the Simsbury side posting lopsided tallies, combined with a lack of relief pitching on Bridgeport's roster - the game was forfeited. A mercy killing if there ever was one.

The teams played a full 9 of 1860's underhand rules where Bridgeport topped off the sad Sunday with a 12-4 loss at their newest opponents.
