Soaked!
I’ve been a bit busy and stranded for time, so I’ll be brief. Once again after Friday’s downpour the infield was flooded. We had to work our magic to get the field in playable condition.
We had an exciting seven-inning game. Scott’s team came from behind to win it 12-11.
In attendance were Carlos, Paul, Steve, Gordon, Will, Michael, Scott, Doug, Al, Danny, Brett, Kevin, Andy, Roberto, Pedro, Andrew, Arun, Kenny, and the writer.
Last week, on June 16, Scott’s team won 6-1. In attendance were Brett, Warren, Roberto, Will, Eric, Paul, Al, Scott, Frankie, Andy, Gordon, Kenny, Doug, Steve, Lance, Nick and yours truly.
See you guys next week!

Soggy Sunday Morning
The threat of rain didn’t deter seventeen diehards from getting to the field to play ball this past Sunday. After doing some groundskeeping to fix a bit the flooded infield we played seven innings under a light drizzle.
The game was very competitive and fun. The writer’s team managed to get out of a bases-loaded jam with a strikeout and a double play, but it wouldn’t be enough to mount a comeback victory. Scott’s team with clutch hitting performances by Carlos and Dave would deservedly come out on top 11-8. Kudos to Emily with a gutsy slide into second… she’s hard as nails!
In attendance were Brett, David, Paul, Andrew, Gordon, Doug, Danny, Dave, Carlos, Andy, Pedro, Mike, Scott, Will, Roberto, Emily and the writer.
See you guys next week!

Jumbo pack!
As expected, we had a great turnout yesterday. Lots of new faces! With no scout report on hand, instead of our regular rosters pick up, we assembled the teams willy-nilly and hoped for the best. Denny and the writer were the starting pitchers.
The infield was in pretty bad shape after last week’s downpours, and we had to work strenuously to get rid of two large puddles. We decided to skip batting practice and play a single seven-inning game.
Denny’s squad got slaughtered 21-7. In the fifth inning after surrendering 10 runs we decided to put an end to the massacre and start a new game. We made some player trades to balance things and played a three-inning game. The result was a 6-5 win to make it a split double header. The player of the game was Brett, an RBI machine.
In attendance were Warren, Mike, Pedro, Dave, Matt, Ian, Danny, Steve, Yap, Mike O, Jim, Brett, Will, Kenny, Emily, Arun, Doug, Andrew, Denny, David 2, Lance, Justin, Gordon, Scott, and the writer.
See you guys next week!

Round-robin clash to open season
On Memorial Day we honor and remember those courageous heroes who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice and bravery have paved the way for the freedoms we cherish. Today, let's reflect on their legacy and express our deepest gratitude.
After several rainouts in a row, our softball season finally got underway yesterday. Fourteen players made it to the field, that was in decent condition and didn’t require much prep. We played a round-robin game with preselected teams to make it an even-steven event, but it didn’t work as planned. Freddy’s team took advantage of a third inning defensive meltdown to score ten runs and put the game out of reach. The final score was 13-5-3.
In attendance were Freddy, Kenny, Arun, Gordon, Brett, Doug, Will, Lance, Frankie, Lou, Michael, Warren, Roberto, and the writer.
Next week we expect a big crowd. See you guys then!
