Game 5

We had the lead for an inning or so but a grand slam broke the game open for the other team and we couldn't recover. Here are some highlights: When Michael was at bat, he pounded the ball earning a Triple and multiple RBIs! In the field, he won the ump over and distracted the other team with his chatter about his day "Occupying". The team was happy to see Sally return after a few weeks off. With their newborn and parents cheering in the stands, Sally did a great job catching while her husband pitched and covering 3B during the second half. "Politically incorrect" Rick, didn't let the ball even think about going anywhere else but in his glove. Rick was partially responsible for our first few innings in the field which were short and sweet due to great fielding. Look for him in the outfield next game. Genevieve's killer swing scared the pitcher so much that he lost focus and couldn't pitch a well placed ball for her to hit. In the field, Genevieve did a great job of getting the ball back to the right spot. John M. used his knowlege of the rules to make sure the bases were almost loaded when he was up at bat. The result: RBIs. John made his pitching debut on Parks and Wrecks and did a fine job as well as making some awesome plays as short center covering many holes. After a long week away from home, Bill's allegience to Parks and Wrecks is appreciated. Practically coming from the airport, Bill stopped at home to say hi to his girls and showed up fully ready to win. A shout out to Ellen for all of her support and her phone call letting me know that he was on his way. Demonstrating that alcohol may enhance his abilities on the field, Sonny fielded another fantastic game as short stop. His double play seemed graceful and effortless. Kelly had another fantastic game at 3B and pitching. For being as tired as she claims to be, she knows how to bring it. As a newbie to softball, Katie is impressive with her courage and ability to put herself out there in front of the ball. Joe played a solid game in left field catching some great fly balls and impressing his fans. Among them, his proud father in the stands. Joe did a great job at bat and running the bases as well. Jon L. played 1B well and managed to stay off the ground. He walked but got caught at home trying to score. At bat it was my intention to force that pitcher to get his baseball pants dirty so he could look like a serious player, but unfortunately my hits practically fell into his glove and he came away clean.
