Ones 7 : Twos 6 (10 innings)
The weather was lovely, the field was gorgeous, and even the cricket monkeys on the field did not disturb our game. The baseball gods tested us and were well pleased with our sacrifice.
A downpour in the first inning did not deter us from the game. Even the cricket monkeys left the field when the sky opened, but we persevered. The rains stopped, the skies cleared and we had 10 brilliant innings of Saturday Afternoon Softball.
Things looked bleak for the Ones as the Twos took a 6 lead by the end of the 2nd inning. But they could not hold on to their lead as the Ones clawed their way back to tie the game in the 8th.
The tie could not be broken in the 9th and we went into extra innings.
Special mention. The Mick had a gold glove day playing all-time defense. He recorded at least 1 out per inning, even putting up a 3-out inning to help Rickey record a 3 pitch outing on the mound. It was amazing stuff. Strangely, people would not stop hitting to him even as we saw his glove catch fire.
