APRIL 23
vs. Voodoo TOAD Fury
*** CORRECTION!!! It's been called
to my attention that I missed an RBI (Scott's) that scored JohnD in the
fifth inning. I've corrected the box score. This means the TOADs beat us
by less this year than they did last year... yaay!!!
***
Who played softball: Karen, Mike, Scott, Andy, Jes,
Karl, Andrew, JohnK, Mary Beth, Randy, Brad, Kent, Gretchen, Renaud, Dave
and JohnD.
Who played leapfrog: Jessie, Cassie, Ellie and Liam.
Linda thought warm thoughts for us, and baby Simon drooled a
lot.
Fashion statement of the game was made by Ellie, for her
unique flair for footwear.
Who braved the road and parking lot
construction to partake of the first-game meal at Round Table: Scott,
Karen, Gretchen, Kent, Jill, Andy, JohnD,
Renaud, JohnK, Jes, and
Randy.
Box score:
Inning 1 2 3 4 5 6
Total
Us 0 2 0 0 1 0 3
Them 1 7 4 4
4 X 20
It was our standard auspicious first game. We
looked good in the first inning, scored in the second, then things fell
apart as the TOADs held the Bruisers scoreless for innings three through
six, while scoring plenty of runs of their own. Hits were made by Karen,
Andy, Andrew, Scott, JohnK, and Mary Beth, with newcomer Karl making the
only RBI hit, a homer in the second to score himself and Andy. Highlights
came with Randy's catch in center, a good play between Scott and Karl to
get a runner at first, and a flashy heart-pumping Karen-Randy out at
second. Lowlights... let's not talk about those; let's just get some
fielding practice... :)
Our next game is Tuesday April 28 on
field H2 (the one by the water fountain). I already know we'll
definitely be missing Renaud, Jes, Barb and Bethany. Everyone else, please
let me know, either way, whether you'll be at the next game or not. I'll
remind everyone on Monday.
Cheers!
Karen
