4/12/26 GGP

 I missed on this one and I'm sorry but it was a great game we had 16 people which was awesome compared to the 14 that we had two weeks before.

When it comes down to is Sean pitched a hell of a game, complete, and lost it in the 9th with a tied up score and Chris Powell hit a ball that may have been a presumed home run but in any case was enough to make the game.

Everything else is secondary, we had some hits , we made some plays, we made some errors.

 Sonny started for the other team and I came in and completed. Sean pitched the whole game and really deserved to get the win but was not the case.

3/29/26 GGP

The less said about this game, the better, with two exceptions.  

We had 12 people total.

One of the fields at GGP was undergoing emergency plumbing repairs and was unusable.

The team that was on our field went over the time limit, by a lot, playing the longest "We're almost done" game in history.

We decided early on we were going to play 7 innings, best decision ever.

Sean and I pitched the whole game and I also decided that it was going to be 1 gear above batting practice speed, since I didn't want to put any strain on myself on a 6-6 game.

The mound sucked, the chasm in the landing zone was wide, deep, and treacherous.

The game ended in a 9-9 tie, no winners, which was appropriate.

Highlights

* Jesse had a hell of a day at the plate and behind it: 2 HRs, 1 triple, 1 single, at least 6 RBIs, a bunch of well blocked balls and an amazing foul ball catch.  Gaspar in his infinite wisdom sent our borrowed 2nd baseman out to left center for the final at bat, and sure enough, caught what would have been Jesse's 3rd HR.

* Sean also hit a HR to right that was a towering drive.  He also pitched well but we sent endless balls to the unmanned right field as our only way of scoring.
