NUS Varsity: 1

We started early (11:00) so everyone could make it to Jason and Diana's wedding. When The Mick showed up at the field, the NUS Varsity team was practicing and the Mick asked them if they wanted to play. Well, they did. NUS provided the pitchers and catchers (fast pitch), and we provided the rest. It was a good game, but many of us were not familar with hitting the fast-pitched ball.

The only real hitter we had was Superdad, who was amazing except for that one dropped ball on a difficult catch. As for the Mick, he got denied. At the plate and in the field. DT and Clement both took Texas Leaguers away from him. But, this also showed the hustle that SAS brings to such games.

The NUS guys were great, and we appreciated the game. Hopefully we can get some more going. We won the game on defense. DT/Clement and the Jaguar were solid on the left side of the infield, and we caught them in a number of running mistakes. NUS' one run came on a homer down the LF field line that was a real boomer. Superdad got them back. All-in-all it was a fun game against a good group of guys. Clement may have even played himself onto their team.

After the game, we all went to Botak Jones and had lots of meat, although DT wanted someone to take the cheese off his meat. Then, we cleaned up and went to Jason and Diana's wedding. Heidi, Sandman and Sandwoman, as well as Guppy, joined us all there. Congrats to Jason and Diana, and we'll see them at the BBQ on the 16th.

Then, we went bowling. It was a tight competiion with the teams being: 1) Superdad, Venezualan Jaguar, Horfun, Heidi; 2) Rickey, DT, Sandman, Sandwoman (who has a wicked spin on her rolls). Individual game winners were Rickey, Superdad and Heidi. The TWOS took the first group game, while the ONES took the second. The third was a nail biter coming down to the last frame. Alas, the ONES pulled it out by only a few pins.

But, we weren't done. We went back to Botak Jones because Rickey wanted a Big Sausage, and DT wanted to pop some spicy jalapenos in his mouth. At this meal we branched out beyond the burgers to have a look at the Cajun chicken dishes as well as Caeser's Salad, although the Jaguar is still looking for his ham. After a long 12-hour softball day, we all made our way home.
