As anticipated a decrease in attendance was expected today, but we wound up with a decent turnout and sixteen guys made it to the field. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
The talk of the town was Pasquale’s video clip. Belissimo! Everyone was impressed with his Elvis impersonation. Not less impressive was Jeff’s pitching performance. In his return, the ace hurler was lights out blanking the Sticks 4-0 and striking three batters, two of them looking. Some nasty stuff indeed! I can see a smile on Little Joe's face.
The game however was not as lopsided as the score might suggest. In fact, three of the four runs were unearned and induced by huge mental errors at short and mediocre fielding at first, coincidently the base assigned to the opposing team. In the future we would probably be better off designating second base instead and eradicate any suspicion. Not pointing fingers at anyone but a lack of effort was conspicuous in some of those questionable plays.
But aside from the aforementioned poor fielding, we witnessed some outstanding defensive plays particularly Roly’s catch of a hard-hit line drive at third to keep the game scoreless and rob the writer. Some nimble feet for a big guy!
Let’s wrap it up! In attendance were Jeff, Lawman, Gurpreet, Alec, Efrain, Roly, Sergio, OD, Artie, Haaj, Jay, Kenny, Edie, Danny (on the DL), Tommy and the writer.
Ciao bambini!
