Game Summary:
When a team is in a slump, the last thing they need is to run up against a former Cy Young winner with his best stuff. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to Da ShitPaws as they were unable to get anything started against Dwight Gooden in dropping a 12-2, five-inning game against The OC in a Fantasy RBI League game played Friday at Tengen Stadium.
Gooden (2-0) rebounded from a shaky first inning to turn in a dominant performance in shutting down Da ShitPaw's (0-3) potent bats. In the final four innings, he did not give up a hit and allowed only one base runner, a two-out walk to Mike Schmidt in the bottom of the third inning.
Da ShitPaws allowed Gooden to work his way out of a big jam in the first inning without sustaining serious damage. Gooden gave up three consecutive doubles to start out the game, but appeared to settle down after striking out Schmidt for the inning's first out.
Lou Whitaker was the hitting star for The OC (2-1). He was 3 for 3, including a two-run home run in the third inning, and drove in five runs. Wade Boggs was also 3 for 3, and George Bell added a solo home run.
