Welcome to the Club!

I tried to get the ball. I really did, but the ump and the Dusty Nut catcher were having none of it.

Wouldn't it have looked nice on the McKnight mantle? First Conehead hit, Patrick McKnight, Sept. 12, 2016. We coulda all signed it.

It was not to be.

On a night when the Junior Knight had a rather pedestrian (for him) 2-4, the rest of the Coneheads scored enough and the Nuts were generous enough for the Coneheads to win a rather ho-hum 14-9 no doubter.

There were quite a few Conehead hits - I had one that turned into a Conehead double - where's your hustle Patrick? You only got a single on yours. Never mind they threw mine under the fence.

But we also had some big hits - a slashed two out two run homer by Bruce, a deep gapper for a triple by Sting, and Chuck just muscled up to beat the left fielder for a double. The three of them paced us with three hits.

Larry had the Nuts by the...for most of the night. Take away the first inning and last and he allowed on run total in the middle five as we built what turned out to be an insurmountable lead.

As Reg said after the game, we are a freight train, and once we get rolling, watch out for the Coneheads! This was step one.

Milestones:
Larry            800 h (#3)
Gene            600 h (#7)
