August 19 vs. Gravity Fielders

Bruisers: Karen, Scott, Andrew, Shonte, BobbyJoe, Dave, Mikael, Jenny, Renaud, Marc, Maren, Anders, Kenny and Mary Beth. Andy and Kathy loaned themselves to the other team, and various Bruisers acted as non-fielding (well, for the most part) catchers throughout the game.

Spectators: Linda, Max, Jesse, Ellie, Cassie and Simon.

Burger Continental diners: Kathy, Kenny, Brendan (who, if you'll notice, isn't in the players list tonight because he was at home napping during the game; but hey, he got enough grief for this when he showed up at dinner), Anders, Dave, Jesse, BobbyJoe, Peggy, Ellie, Cassie, Max, Jenny, Maren, Emily, Jill, Andy, Mary Beth, Simon, Scott, and Karen.

The game was officially a forfeit because we loaned them three people, but could have been an outright win if they had counted their runs correctly in the fourth inning. We'll be honorable folks and give them the benefit of the doubt, however, considering the fact that the same G.Fielder player somehow earned a little wrath from both Karen and Jenny during the game (sorry dude!).

Defensively, everyone (except me), including both Andy and Kathy, I believe for the G.Fielders, got at least one hit. Scott hit the only home run of the game, and we got lots of little dingers that got past the fielders. The Creative Running Award goes to Dave who managed to beat a throw home, wade through the mass of bodies there, and step on home plate without being tagged out. RBIs were hit in by Karen, Scott (2), Andrew (2), Andy (before defecting), BobbyJoe, Dave (2), Mikael (3), Renaud, Marc, Maren, Kenny, and Mary Beth.

On the offensive front, the outfield was a lonely place to play as most G.Fielder hits stayed in or near the infield -- Karen caught one little fly ball, Jenny caught two, and Maren caught three. Defensive play of the game goes to Marc who made an all-by-himself double play at first base.

And, we had no injuries that required medical attention.

Last game of the season is next Wednesday, August 25, against the Crawdads on field H3 (corner/sewer field). As far as I know we're only missing Jes, JohnK, and MikeF (who will have returned to Victoria). Party dinner options are currently either Round Table or Fuddruckers. If you have a preference for one or the other, let me know! Majority will rule.

See you Wednesday!
Karen :)
