Another game, another miss from Mr. Paige, this time in a BBQ in Healdsburg, which I can;t say is a bad way to spend a Memorial day weekend, but it sure as hell isn't a baseball game....and now here with the recap is Mr. Mike Lattig:

5-3 game heading into the 9th. Greg and Sean had been locked in a duel. With two outs and nobody on, the visitors rallied for the tying runs with four straight singles off of yours truly. Then, with two outs and nobody on in the bottom half, the home team rose up for three straight hits of Tony, started by Anthony and capped off by... Oh, hell, I can't remember. Maybe lefty nick (who returned from the grave) or Sean's friend who was in town during a cross-country motorcycle trip. A stirring 6-5 victory on a gorgeous sunny day...

With another recap, here is the Big Stick himself, Mr. Tony Rojas:

i have to say, last sunday was one of the funnest and best games i've had the privilege of playing in for quite some time. not only did we see the return of nick levine, richie garcia and scott mills but the new guys were rounding out into form as well. i can't remember all the details but 20 showed and shaun pitched for the home team and was in fine form.

i think at one point he had struck out 7 or so in a row. i was lucky enough to play every position on the field except catcher and after we, the visitors, had tied the game with a 2 run 2 out rally in the top of the 9th, i came in to pitch. we got the first two outs pretty quickly. anthony stepped in and battled and battled and eventually popped a clean hit off a curveball to the outfield. levine then followed with a solid hit.

2 on and 2 out, bottom of the ninth and who but bob steps in to bat. he was killing the ball all day so i just went ahead and hit him with the first pitch. wrong move. bob got pissed, called ball one, and went on to battle after i managed to get 2 strikes. he eventually hit one into the left field gap. anthony scored. the home team went nuts. bob got the winning walk off hit. i didn't even care. i couldn't pitch any better. and it was an awesome game. can't wait til this sunday.

Glad to hear of all the exciting stuff, keep on coming out! Not sure where the game is this week, but you know it will be good.
