This was a great game. The field was "moist", not wet. There was no standing water, but if you hit a ball it wouldn't roll far. So, there were no huge homers, since our homers come from hitting it to the gap and running. It was a see-saw game, but the TWOS finally took control in the 6th with a 5-run inning, and then held off a furious charge by the ONES. The game only lasted 7 innings, due to really, really dark clouds threatening. All played well, with solid hits and fielding. No one stood out above the rest for the awards, but those who received them deserved them.

Afterwards, at Joe's, there were some good pool games going on. But, more importantly, there was a bowling night. We had 9 at the lanes. In the first game all struggled, but the Venezualan Jaguar (who claims he has never bowled before) rolled a 105 (hey, I said we struggled) to tie with the Sandman. In the second game, Rickey got off to an unbelievable blistering start, and tried to choke it away. He finished with a 124, and the win though. Sandman was the most consistent, coming in 2nd in this match to win the overall keggler title for the night.
