Sorry I missed the game, and have been some what remiss at updating the blog. To sum up, the Giants are going to the Worlds Series, and its been raining every Sunday. But it didn't rain a few weeks ago, and the game was a peach, apparently. Here's Mike "Does it All" Gaspar to tell you about it:
It was a great day in the sunset. sun shining, warm, and just a hint of breeze.
When i arrived there was a league game going on and a few mission faithful waiting in the bleachers. i was a little worried we wouldn't get to 14 players. i guess some guys would rather watch baseball than play it. crazy huh?
But a few more dudes trickled in and we were ready to go. mike (last name unknown) started for the visitors and sean for the homers. the home team put 8 or 9 runs across in the bottom of 2nd through a combination of goodhitting, poor defense and a bad hop or two. hate to say it, but it was a boat race from there.in the top of the 7th we decided it was 12-6. and due to the late start we also decided the 7th would be the last.
The vistors responded with a run on a sac. fly. final 12-7.
Highlights:
- the flyby courtesty of the blue angels (your federal tax dollars hard at work)
- giants game on the radio. (remember the braves?)
- lorens' smash to right center that hit the wall on a couple of bounces.
- rick kvoriak's laser beam line drive to left center for a triple. then scored on groundball by crashing into bob at the plate.
- great catch in right by james subbing for the homers.
- we all got at least 5 ab's
- big thanks to all that showed up.
nothing worse than 13 guys. not sure where/when the next game will be. (damn rain) but hopefully it dries out for dave j.'s visit. peace out. mg
Thanks Mike, I don't know where the next game is, but we better all be praying for Sun!
