August 25 vs. Crawdads
Bruisers: KarenC, Scott, Andrew, Nancy, Brendan, Tony, KarenT, Dave, Marc, Jenny,
Renaud, Kenny, Shaunna, Kent, Kathy, JohnD, Anders, and Bob.
Spectators: Jesse, Emily, and Max
Round Table Revellers: KarenT, Kathy, Bob, Anders, Emily, Max, Jenny, JohnD, Marc,
Nancy, Kenny, Brendan, Andrew, Renaud, Kent, Scott, Dave, Jesse and KarenC
Offensively, we hit them everywhere, taking full advantage of every fielding error we
could and doing our best to confuse the fielders. Home runs were hit by Scott (2), Andrew,
Brendan, Dave, Kathy, and Anders, and we got triples by Andrew, Brendan, and Kenny.
RBIs were knocked in by Scott (3), Andrew (4), Nancy, Brendan (2), Dave (2), Marc,
Renaud (2), Kenny (2), Shaunna, Kent, Kathy (3), and Anders (3).
Defensive delights came from great catches by outfielders Brendan (who will never get to
play anywhere but right field from now on!), Anders and Dave in the outfield, good 6-3
plays by Andrew to Marc and Bob to Marc, and several awesome catches by stud-ette
Jenny at pitcher including the snag of a line drive that was hit right back at her. Blooper
reel stuff comes from John and Jenny's "embraceable you" catch in the second inning --
Jenny caught the ball, and John caught Jenny. Growl of the evening came from KarenC
who made the runner go back to third after he thought he could go home, but the play had
already been called.
Your beloved manager,

The Crawdads came out to try and beat us again (they'd beaten us already in the first game
of this season), but Bruiser bats were out and that was not allowed, and we ended the season
with a bang. Tonight was an especially auspicious night for the Bruisers, as several "firsts"
came into being. It was the first time we put the mercy on another team in the first inning
(in the first inning, no less!), and we only got two outs in every inning because of the mercy
rule. But, the game's biggest highlight??? Kathy's 3-run homer in the 5th inning -- the
first EVER by a Bruiser woman! Face it, the women rocked like crazy all over the place
tonight. :)

Next game.... some time in April 2000. Have a great off-season, heal those bruises and
fractures, go to the batting cages, and get some fielding practice. Thanks for making us the
best-attended team in the entire league, and we'll see y'all next year!!
