Game 2 San Antonio Rattlers 12 Apollos 5
The Rattlers really fooled the Apollos in their apperance of the first game...Gene Lucas started allowing 3 runs in two shaky innings, Jeremy Powell allowed 9 runs in 4 innings, but the problem was the Apollos offense striking out 10 times in 6 innings, killing each and every rally. The pitchers from the Rattlers were much improved from the first game...But Suddenly the Rattlers bats awoke they pounded out 14 hits and 12 runs after being beaten badly in the first game. The Apollos were never in the game, despite the wind blowing out to center field like 25 mph. Andrew Dunn had two hits including a triple scoring two runners. Tim Brown smoked a ball the 3rd baseman grabbed...The Apollos must improve their woeful offense...Hell broke loose at the end of the game, Austin Sanders argued with the umpires...Arguing is not allowed in the Communist Umpires Union of San Antonio..The Umpires quickly told Austin to close his mouth, Chris Ryan decided to tell the umpire to shut up, he was ejected. The Rattlers first baseman went crazy telling Chris to leave and he was ejected. Eric Brown struck out the end the 6th swinging at a pitch over his helmet, he threw his helmet and hollered and the umpires called the game and left the field. They sprinted to their cars...The league was very different than Liga Obrera, Coastal Baseball or Houston MSBL...After the game Eric Brown was traded to the Red Reapers of the American Division of the Coastal League. The umpires are trained at the Poland School for Umpires which means if you mouth off you are ejected...
