"We had a stellar opening game and set the right tone for the season with the "W". We ended the first inning down 4-1 but it was clear from the outset that there was no quit in our team. We quickly took the lead 5-4 and then extended our lead to 8-4. The other team fought back to tie the game at 8 runs in the 5th inning. What they didn't see coming was the can of Whoop-Ass we opened on them at the top of the 6th, where we opened a 14-8 lead. As it turned out we needed that lead, as we had to hold on by our fingernails for a 14-13 win.
Accolades:
Honorable Mention: Charles "Big Daddy" Thill caught 3 outs in an inning including teaching class on how to catch the ball using his face. Not sure we all got the lesson but it was impressive.
Play of the Day: Bob "Cupcake" Burt showed no humanity as he viciously tagged out a cowering 20-something girl as she attempted to round 3rd base. This was the final out of the game and we really needed it. Nice to see that Bob can shed his morals when it counts.
M.V.P: Paul "Hell Boy" Riley earned the nom de guerre with catching all three outs in an inning and being the only player to leave blood on the field. Also he was pushing the limits of decorum with his aggressive style on the pitcher's mound."
