2018 Juggs Run

Just some ending stats and notes from championship series. Total runs scored : Lemons 25 , Juggs 26. Total hits : Lemons 56, Juggs 47. Total Home runs hit and turned back : Lemons actual homers 8 turned back 6. Juggs actual homers 8 turned back 9. Total SB and CS: Lemons SB 2 CS 1 ( all Blackmon), Juggs SB 1 CS 2. Hit batsman: Lemons 1 ( Jose Martinez) Juggs 1 (Donaldson) . Total walks: Lemons 15, Juggs 23. Total errors: Lemons 5, Juggs 1.  In game 5 we had a RP result, Schoop on second after hitting a HR turned back to a double, one out Molina PH for Barnhart, RP results in Molina getting a single but Schoop is called out for coming into contact with ground ball. Juggs still managed to win that game 6-5 in ten innings. That was the only extra innings game of the series. I sent out all my score sheets from series on email if you would like to look at them. Juggs one weakness this year was lack of speed and quality base stealers, which left us vulnerable to hitting into double plays and not scoring from second. Also could not manufacture a run when needed. It was home run or bust. I must say Bob made some very good pitching moves at key times in the series. Congratulations again, Bob.
