It was a great homecoming, after too many weeks off, Satch was back where he was supposed to be on a Sunday. And luckily enough people showed up to make it a game, although without the Dirtbags, it would have been rough. The Dirtbags, Chris and Brian and New Guy (Mike?) are a couple, few of fellows from the MBC who have moved on to league play, however, I guess the season is over now and we can expect them back soon.
Johnny and Satch squared off in a classic duel, and neither was in top form, but both went the long haul. Defense might have been on Satch's side for the beginning of the game, but we of the visitors squad had our share of dropped flies and booted balls too. Satch threw a lot of changeups, which seemed to stymie the overswingers on the homesquad.
Everyone got a lot of at bats, Mitch legged out a few close one's, Tony got hit in the foot, John Carey got pissed at a called third strike.
The loudest hit of the game was the New Guy Dirtbag, who took Satch to left, and once it got past our borrowed left fielder, there was no slowing down. By that time, it made the score 10-7, which was great, the majority of the game being the less exciting 10-2 variety.
Same time, same place, next week.
Highlights
* Greg catching the whole game.
* Bob's dance to get out of the way of my pitch, robbing us of a Bob HBP game
* The nastiest knuckleball ever thrown to Chris
* Nero had a nice line drive
* Greg had at least 4 caught foul balls
* The Dirtbags, great to see you again
* Satch struck out looking, which is strange because some might have said it wasn't a strike
* Brian's catch at 3rd to rob his own team of a hit
* Adam's digging it out at 1st
* Nick showing off his hitting ability and rubbing it in that he is still faster than us
Thanks for everyone that showed up, see you again
