The Cobra Kai were fresh off an opening day drubbing of Los Servicos and looking to pick up right where they left off this past Friday night under the lights. "I really wanted to get things started tonight and set the pace for our season by getting a second win under our belts….I’m not usually one that can do it two times in a row" Doc Guttierez told a reporter before the game……again the reporter was not sure what he was referencing.

Either way the Cobra Kai were ready to go in pursuit of their first league title as they came ready to play despite missing their power hitting third basemen Roundhouse Reger whom was called to duty to help our minor league affiliates. Mad Dog was ready for this game as he stifled Top Shelf hitters from the get go holding them to 5 hits and 6 runs and he was backed by a solid defensive outing from the Kai’s. Johnny Blaze took command of the defense and made sure we didn’t implode and held strong in support of Mad dog’s solid pitching performance. “Capt Tucci told me before the game Defense wins championships so I told him we will hold our own today….but then I told him I thought the object was to score more runs than the other team so clearly he was wrong but I decided to play solid defense anyways….but it was on my terms” said JohnnyBlaze after a solid defensive outing.

However, the real story of the night was the offensive outburst the Cobra Kai unleashed on the unsuspecting Top Shelf team. When the Kai’s signed the Grand Master Elliot in the offseason to a long term deal they knew they were getting a strong glove and big bat but didn’t realize the veteran presence would help settle down our lineup and turn them into a league juggernaut at the plate. “I stopped looking at personal goals when I signed with the Kai, my only goal is to bring a championship to the team…..and get our Shortstop laid” Said The Swami Elliot after the game. Well he certainly came through on that promise as he unleashed a hard liner down the right field line painting it just like Mr. Miyagi taught him sparking the Kai to our biggest offensive rally of the year.

That hard liner set up Captain Tucci for the hit of the night. The Captain stepped into the plate and fought off a 2-1 count and then blasted a shot to deep Center Field that hit the fence and then bounced over it for a whopping 256 ½ foot Crane Kick right to the Top Shelves cranium setting up an undisputed knockout just a few batters later. Doc Guttirez had been punishing the ball deep all game but after Capt Tucci drove one out it pushed the Outfield back on their toes and Doc lined one right in front of them. “I was eager to score after getting thrown out by Ichabad Crane an inning earlier on a feeble base stealing attempt.

Koko kept pace as he has really perfected his swing and has started punishing the left field line. DonJuan continued his league leading .972 OBP% by jacking a couple more singles and keeping our bats red hot. Lemieux continues to hit the ball very hard as rumors swirl about his pending call up to our Boston Affiliate next season.” Right now, it’s all about winning a championship. I don’t care what the media is saying about Boston I am focused on leading these guys to a ring” Mikey Lemieux said after the game when asked about his potential call-up. Double S also contributed after coming off the DL with an undisclosed illness he was rumored to obtain in a bathroom excursion downtown with JW a few weeks ago.

The Cobra Kai finished off Top Shelve with a second consecutive Mercy Rule to maintain a perfect 2-0 record in pursuit of the Championship.

The Post game celebration was up to par for the performance but the league is not allowed to comment on it this week due to legal restrictions after the team was involved in an altercation that lead to the Police being called and several teammates being questioned.

Well, the Team gets back to work this Friday as we take on the Contractors at 8:30 Under the Friday Night Lights.
