It was a blazing hot day, and it was the fourth day of Chinese New Year. There was some nice fielding and hitting, and we saw the return of the Coach. Play took place inside the track from the legend corner. Rickey played SS - for both teams - for the first two innings of Game 1 (to give each the same disadvantage). Afterwards he joined the Twos.
Ones: P: Seven; 1B: TH (from Lloyd's kids, not the Ipoh Assassin); 2B: Pian Zhe; SS: DT; 3B: Sandman; OF: Andy, Aizad, Fei (2nd Game); Horfun (1st Game); Sandwoman; Guppy
Twos: P: Rickey/Jason; C: Jason; 1B: Coach/Rickey; 2B: Princess; SS: Money; 3B: Desmond; OF: Gunz, Fei (1st game), Beyonce, Diana, Noel, Horfun (2nd Game)
Game 1: 4-17 (7 inning mercy)
Game 2: 5-6 (6 innings)
Highlights: 1)The return of the Coach. The Twos were getting beaten until the Coach showed up. He steadied them, getting them to think about fundamentals, and led them to victory; 2) Calm Coach: The Twos tempted Old Coach to come out, but he stayed inside. On one play at least 4 errors occured: through the legs, missed cut-off man, overthrow, and then another overthrow. A single turns into a homer. Coach remains zen-like in his calm. Amazing; 3) Sandwoman makes some nice catches in the outfield; 4) Gunz hits two homers; 5) Fei continues to field and hit well, and never says a word - suggested nickname: "The Mime" or "The Mute"; 6) Rickey needs Oxygen II: miracles do occur. Rickey hits one down the first base line, which then spins out onto the track. Second homerun in two weeks. He's only got one more in him for the year; 7) The arms of Beyonce and Gunz keep runners in check.
MBP: Coach
Biggest Bat: Gunz
Gold Glove: No one
Play of the day: Coach remains calm
Bonehead play of the day: Seven - running from 2nd to 3rd - runs into Money as he fields a grounder. Bodies are tangled like a scene in "Caligula". Seven tagged out.
DY: Horfun - Always volunteers to catch against her own team. Take a break sometime.
how come there is no young player of the game????Remember when coach was running to second base,when the outfield overthrows the ball to second base which was stop by Aizad who was playin 1st base with a diving grab????that was great.....he sacrifice his body just not to let the baserunner to earn an extra base.....
