Game One:

TWOS: 26

Game Two (3 Innings):
Ones: 6
Twos: 6

We played at the altnerative field, which was not too bad. It was not as bumpy as usual and the constant rains over the past few weeks have softened it up a bit. The key development was all of the people who came. We had a great old school game: Booming hits, plenty of errors, tight match-ups, sliding in the mud, and questions over who your favorite New Kid on the Block was.

The ONES took a huge lead in the 4th inning, scoring 10 or 11 runs. The number of errors the TWOS committed was probably 15 or 16. Very frustrating out in the field. The ONES had a 9-run lead, then the Rube started managing. He moved people around, and the TWOS gained some life. The slowly came back, a run or two per inning until they took a 4-run lead in the top of the ninth on a 5-run two-out rally. But, the ONES came back with a 5-run bottom of the ninth. Classic.

Rickey didn't see game two. He went to chicken burgers with Nigey-pooh. Apparently the hightlight was Horfun bringing the smackdown on Indiana at 2B.

NOTES: 1) Rickey gets unassisted DP. Heidi hits line drive to Rickey, who steps on 1B to get the sprinting Tissot; 2) Kyle II has got some skillz. Just needs to get the softball rhythm and he'll be a keeper; 3) Jason's gonna get some kisses. Every ball that Diana hit near him... well, she got on base; 4) The Generalissimo had a rough day at 3B; 5) Play of the day: Hitting the cut off man. Jew-fro pounds a ball to left-center. Its a homer (or even a triple for Rickey). Sandman gets the ball and throws it to Rube, who zips it in to the Generalissimo, who had to wait for Jew-fro. Amazing. Rube also gets credit for the effort, having injured himself on the play; 6) Indiana had more than 10 assists from the pitcher's mound. Solid fielding.

MBP: Rube
Play of the Day: Sandman-Rube-Generalissimo
Hit of the Day (failure): Jew-fro
Hit of the Day (success): The Mick, bending it around Nigey-pooh who was on 3B for triple

Drama Mama: Burma Girl catches the ball, which bounces out of her glove. Dieter grabs it for the out.
