Last night was fun, as 5 Diamond Dore arms combined for a 2 hit shutout and the bats caught 15 runs worth of fire to improve to 7-1 on the season. Look away and you missed magic:
You step away for a minute to stir dinner and you miss back to back jacks from Carter Mighty Joe Young and Dom Keegan. 10-0 Dores. Anchor of Gold (@anchorofgold) March 6, 2021
Normally, teams who get shutout on Friday get to look forward to facing less talented arms on Saturday and Sunday. What does UIC get for their troubles? Kumar Rocker today and Jack Leiter tomorrow.

2020 Record: 4-12. Yes the UIC Chicago Fire of the MLS (managed by former Beastie Boy
Mike Dee) flamed out last year, but at least they challenged themselves. The main reason they lost so many games was they opened the season with a 4 game set at Auburn followed by a 3 game series at Vanderbilt. It should shock no one that a mid-major team like UIC would be swept in both and begin the year 0-7. Of course, they continued to get pasted by the likes of UC Santa Barbara and Northwestern, and were 0-11 before a 6-1 victory over St. Bonaventure (no, we didn’t know they played anything other than shooty hoops, either) finally got them into the win column.
