Rained most of saturday morning, and was still drizzling in the afternoon.
field was wet, but not soggy. perfect sliding conditions without churning mud
NewJohn is the new most dangerous man on the field, taking the crown from DT.
He plonked Nomah right between the eyes from a throw from deep within the hole to home in the first inning. And then he whacked a line drive right up the middle into Wild Thing's thigh in the last inning. That one left a mean bruise.
Only had 9 people on the field due to...4 regulars overseas, 2 on the DL, and Sandman being whipped
Rube played all time defense, switching from middle infield for the ONEs to centerfield for the TWOs.
Prof Zen and Indiana rules in effect.
The game was tight, with the scores even for both teams for most of the game.
Rugburn led off with a homerun in the first inning for the TWOs, which was quickly answered by NewJohn in the bottom of the inning.
Although, one could argue that Rugburn should've been tagged out at home as the relay came in on time. The only problem was that Nomah caught the ball between the his eyes rather than with the glove. It wasn't his fault though, the throw came in slightly offline, and Rugburn had to detour in front of Nomah to get to the plate.
For that spilt second, Nomah took his eyes off the ball when Rugburn came around, and the ball plonked him.
For the most part, the game was a defensive gem on both sides. 1-2-3 outs were common for most of the innings. The TWOs relied on NewJohn and Superdad's power hitting, and the ONEs got by with singles up the middle and some desperate running from second base.
NewJohn might've just earned his nickname... finally.... The verdict is still out, and the committee is still voting on it. 'Bruiser'
