O fer

I may just go hitless the rest of the season on Tuesday nights. Because, apparently when I do, we crush the opponent.

Poor Chopper - he goes 3 for 4, a double and two triples, and nary an RBI in sight. Bases empty every time he came up.

But it's all OK, because we scored 14 in the second inning and never looked back to see Just Screw It in our rear view mirror. By the time Derek came in to pitch, it was a 26-3 bloodbath.

RB followed up his monster 3 run shot in the third with a tape measure shot for a grand slam in the 7 run 4th, which helped him toward a game high 8 RBIs. We asked him at the pub how he felt about his game - he shrugged his shoulders and said he is still working on things. He is Clark Kent.

He was one of four that had 4 hits, which also included Cage, Hammer, and Jason, who set the two triple pace that Chopper went and tied. Woody chipped in his usual 3 hits and 4 RBIs, and Big D and Mario also had 3 hits.

Highlight catch from RB too, but Nick stole the show at the end. I think he just got sick of continuing this game after JSI rallied in a meaningless 8 run 5th. He made an all out sprint and full extension dive to catch the last ball an inch off the ground to keep them off the board in the 6th, and it ended at 25-11 on the scoreboard. Incidentally, the score should have been 26-11, and we didn't need have played the 6th inning, but I didn't have the heart to argue with them over it.

Undefeated, and we really are playing BASBHAT for early possession of first place this week. Rumor is that they are a renamed team that was known as Fish Taco two years ago that took our league. They moved up to the C league and weren't satisfied with being middle of the pack, and managed to make their way back to our league. Let's get out the hot sauce and pour it all over them.

Milestones:

Jason        20 3b (#3)Woody     850 ab (#4)
Sir Guy     700 ab (6)
Cage        600 ab (#8)
Hammer   50 ab (#45)
