Game Summary
The Superbas suffered their most humiliating loss in franchise history, 30-4, against N It 2 Win It on Wednesday, July 12. The dry summer air hampered the defensive efforts of the Superbas as balls sailed past the outfielders and the “biggest assholes in the league” ran up the score.
Second baseman Brooks Ramsdell had two hits and a walk and scored three of the Superbas’ four runs. Third baseman Andy Orr had two hits and three runs batted-in. Shortstop Jeff Wisniewski had three hits and a run scored. Pitcher Carlo Quinonez hit a sacrifice fly. And that was pretty much it.
Defensively, the Superbas highlights came from their middle-infield combination of Wisniewski and Ramsdell and the two accounted for most of the Superbas’ defensive outs. In the last inning, Ramsdell moved to left field for defensive purposes and made another solid play on a deep fly ball. Catcher Joe Gray continues to hold his ground behind the plate as the game saw five plays at the plate, including several collisions; however, the fix was in, and the ump called all of the plays in the opponents’ favor.
First baseman Jeff Adams’ nine-game hitting streak came to an end. Gray struck out looking in the third.
The last game of the Superbas’ inaugural season is next Wednesday, July 19, in a rematch against the first-place The Goonies.

Offensive Players of the Game: Brooks Ramsdell (2-2, BB, 3 R), Jeff Wisniewski (3-3, 2B, R) and Andy Orr (2-3, 2B, 3 RBI).
