APRIL 28
vs. Devil Rays
Who played with balls and bats: Karen, Andy,
JohnK, Dave, Jenny, Andrew, Steve, Mike, Mary Beth, Marc, Bob, Gretchen,
Bobbyjoe, Shaunna, and Scott.
Who played with the Devil Ray's
mascot bird: Emily, Max, Jesse, Ellie, Cassie, and Simon.
Who
rearranged the furniture at Baja Fresh: Mike, Marc, Marc's friend Mike (who
may join us for games if we can bust him away from computational
neurosciences long enough!), Jill, Andy, Jenny, Max, Steve, Emily, and
Karen. Next week's dinner will be at Island's.
To prove that
there's something to be said about reviewing the details, it appears we
didn't do as badly as we thought. Upon closer inspection (and head
scratching, counting and thinking back -- boy, does my head hurt now!), the
box score, according to Karen* appears to be:
Inning 1
2 3 4 5 Total
Us 2 3 1 3 3 15
Th
5 11 3 0 x 19
*(If anyone remembers what happened
in the second inning, please tell me... I think I figured out we actually
scored six runs, not four, in that inning... If I'm reading the book
right, here's what happened: Mike hit a single and then went to second on
Mary Beth's hit (out #1). Marc doubled and Mike came home. Bob doubled
and Marc came home. Gretchen got out #2 and Bob stayed at second.
Bobbyjoe hit a single and Bob came in. Shaunna hit a single and moved
Bobbyjoe to second. Scott came up and hit a homer scoring himself, Shaunna
and Bobbyjoe. I came up and got the third out. That makes six runs. Is
this how anyone else remembers it? It didn't all get recorded because I
had to go bat. It does up the score to 19-15.)
The magic
gloves weren't all out tonight, but we did get some good plays, including
great catches by Jenny at second and Scott at shortstop. The magic bats,
however, did make themselves known as the Bruisers went on a hitting
frenzy the likes of which we hadn't seen in months. H ome runs were hit by
Dave, Andy, Steve and Scott; a triple by Bobbyjoe, and doubles by Karen (2
- wow!), Dave, Marc, and Bob. RBIs were knocked in by Dave (3), Scott (3),
Bobbyjoe (2), Karen, Andy, Steve, John, Marc, Bob, and
Gretchen.
Next game is MONDAY May 4 on field H4 (north of H3 by
the restrooms). I know we'll be missing the Reddings, Renaud, and
Gretchen. I need everyone else to also let me know whether or not you'll
be at the game. If you need to know where H4 is, check the map on the
Bruiser website. I'll voicemail/email a reminder either Thursday night or
Friday morning.
Also, is anyone interested in my printing the
Bruiser logo (see the web site) on iron-on paper so people can put them on
t-shirts and such... sorta like a (gulp) uniform? Let me
know!!
See you on Monday!
Your beloved
manager,
Karen :)
