Sorry this is a late post, and a lot of the details are lost to the ether.
Highlights
* I was on Sean's team, I remember that much. And he was pitching well.
* We did not have quite a few of the players, and we had to wait for the game before us to finish, and there was a big party going on afterwards.
* We also had a long-lost MBC player come in from the corn, and he brought a new player with him, his 14 year old son. Which made it easy to calculate how long it had been since he had played with us, since he didn't have that kid last time. Nick and Hank were a welcome new/old edition to the game, and it was great to see them out.
* Mitch also pitched again, and did well. He took it on the chin in the latter part though.
* Marcie and I tried out a new angle on the old game, the 1/2 and 1/2 right fielder. It worked pretty well, and I don't think it provided any real advantage to our team, and we got to chat a lot while waiting for balls that never came. We are both nursing our respective temples at the moment, so it seemed fair that we combine our efforts to make one competent right fielder. And we did.
* There were a lot of caught fly balls, and strike outs on our team. I came in to pitch later in the game, and managed to eke out a victory when we took the lead late. I was not feeling my best, but managed to get through.
* Gaspar was having another hot game until he pulled up short with a hammy injury. Get well soon!
* They mowed the grass finally, so it was more like playing in the wheat than running through the jungle.
* I had a 4-4 day, all singles to left field. That is my new (hip) sweet spot, I think I have roughly 12 hits to that exact spot in the 4 games I have played so far.
* Marcie had at least one more sweet hit with an RBI.
* Mike Lynch continued to pound the ball
* There is an upcoming SQ game, can the lefties please start hitting to the short porch, like they do in our game????
* There were a few walks taken in this game, it is becoming more of a thing to take the walk after the 2nd count
* We were losing that game, and should have lost that game, but the wheels came off in the eighth inning, and poor Mitch had to watch his beautiful game go up in smoke. We have not had a inning go that south in a while.
* On the tails of that, there was a strike 3 call that was not called, on Hank. I guess we took pity on him, being out for the first time, and young, but that one difference had a ripple effect on the shit show inning. Cap tip to Mitch for keeping it together :)
* Anna had a couple nice plays at 1st
* I don't remember what the final score was.
* It was nice to have a full roster, even with quite a few regulars missing
Don't Look Back
