The Game We'd Like to Forget

This was it. The game we'd like to all forget. Every team has to have one of these per season. We just had ours early on. Here are some highlights. Kelly covered 2B extremely well making sure that the runner was in trouble if it was happening on her watch. Tim made some great plays at 3b responsible for some nice plays. Roberto was our 2 home run man tearing the cover off of that ball. Steve played short stop with his usual finesse and agility. Kyle, although only played for a short time, had a great hit and the other team just got lucky when they caught it. Stephanie caught some hard to reach throws at 1b as she noted that she's never attended a winning game for P&W. Danita hit the ball well and longed for her place in the outfield. Despite the umps calls, Drew pitched some incredibly tempting balls and the other team unfortunately chose to be "lookers". Making someone else work on Friday night, Genay showed up with her usual positive sportswomanship attitude. Bill made a couple incredible catches in LF as he dreamt of frozen mango margaritas. We are the away team next week at 8:30 again. Same field.

Guess who got slaughtered? And, look at what you miss if you don't participate in the after game festivities...

Steve-o always knows what to do at the plate. He hit not one, but two home runs and he finally put an end to a game that was never ending. Bill who was also responsible for rounding the bases after a hearty smack at the ball, also made great catch in left. Tim's heroic catch in centerfield is only half the story for him. Tim ripped the ball producing multiple RBIs. Danita's memorable debut was impactful. She proved her spot on the team as she whipped the ball and ran for her life. Shari's star catch at 3rd was merely just the beginning of her attempt to end the inning. Her effort to get the double play ended in controversy where Kelly's affinity for other team was questioned. Speaking of Kelly, she did some great hitting and bat and was able to get ball back into infield quickly. Drew pitched awesome and also hit the ball extremely well. Kyle rounded the base multiple times and had a busy night as catcher not to mention ending the night with a business deal landing us a potential sponsor. Matt K. came to our rescue as a sub covering 1b like a champ and whacking the ball out of the park.
