Old: Rickey, Baskets, Ziegler, High Tea
Young(er): H, Sin, Bumblebee, Chris
Score: Old 11 : Young(er) 10 (6 innings)
Considering we only had 7 last week, 8 is quite an improvement. Time-of-death was actually called at 1600 by Ziegler, but somehow, we decided to power through and wait a few minutes more. Upper field was closed, so we moved to the soccer field. With 8, we played 'triangle', 4 to a team.
It seemed obvious to split the teams racially, with 4 white guys and 4 chinese. But little did we realise that we also split the teams according to age. It was above 45s vs below 35s.
The Old folks took an early lead, picking on the two inexperienced infielders; Sin who played 1st but never got on base to receive the throw and Bumblebee who played 3rd and had problems with the bounce. Before the 5th inning, the Old folks were already up 10-4.
The Young(er)s only found their bats in the 4th. Finally putting some runs on the board. If we had played 7 innings, the Young(er)s would've won, if we had played 9, the Young(er)s would've crushed the Old folks.
The Young(er)s are going to find it difficult to live down the shame of losing to the Old folks. Though I guess we should be used to losing to Fat Old White Men by now since we've lost most of our women to them already.
Haha - good post.
