Slugs V Backseat Drivers. Backseat Drivers leave wondering what hit them.

The Slugs and the Backseat Drivers have met 3 times on the Sacramento D League Softball Field. In the first two meetings, the Slugs should have won, but they didn't. The Drivers' pitcher shook up the Slugs hitting. He pitched inside and seemed to put a strange spin on the ball. The Slugs were stumped, he had them psyched out. At first they blamed it on their hitting. They went to the cages, even bought a rather expensive new bat on e-bay.

Those things helped, but so did former Coach Kepley's patented "Super Secret Strategy For Defeating the Backseat Drivers. " Because non-Slugs read this blog (hi scorekeeper dude!), we will not reveal the strategy here. But, let's just say the SSSFDBD doesn't include cheating, and it totally works.

When the Slugs came out for their second rematch this past Thursday at Tahoe Field, they were ready. The Backseat Drivers were missing one of their top female players, but they were still up for a battle. Little did they know the Slugs would be bringing so much heat. The Slugs figured out how to hit against their pitcher, and they hit it to where there were no defenders. There was also a lot of solid defensive play.

Final score: something like 13-2.
