Due to the strange schedule this year, and our doubleheader sweep to start the season, we are alone in first after Opening Day, so the natural order is being followed.
In the opener, we were on first first, before Who's On First. In fact they weren't on first much at all, or second, or third, much less home, as we shellacked them 20-1.
The first three hitters in our lineup went 3-3, and Bruce, Chuck, and Gene joined them with three hits. Pope and D had four RBIs each.
Bruce absolutely scalded the ball all day. Don't tell him, but Joe will tell him we are desperate every week to get him there. Wonder how long til he catches on?
Although there was no official Conehead inning, we batted around in the fourth and scored in every inning. The rout was on after we loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the first, and D blasted a searing line drive single to plate two. Lefty's two out two run triple put the stamp on the breakout second.
Joe held them down until putting D in to finish the game. He even played some 2B, so with Larry filling in at schmiddler and yours truly we had just short of 200 years on the right side of the infield. Suffice to say D tried to get them to pull the ball!
Second game was more of the same, except Notg has added some talent and they scored 10 off us for a final of 22-10. Notg used to be St. Matt's, and then Holy Sox. Does Notg mean Not God? They could have used some divine intervention as, after a 4-4 first we took control with a six run second. When they closed it to 15-7 after four, we batted around in the top of the fifth for another seven runs and it was over.
Randy, Lefty, Pope, D, and Bruce continued their onslaught on the ball, showing why they are in the top six in the lineup. D ended up with seven RBIs on the day, followed closely by Pope with six and Bruce and Gene with five.
But everyone contributed as usual. In the six run second, five straight players drove in runs, Chopper, Bruce, Chuck, Gene and Heffe. In the fifth the same ones but starting with Bruce and adding Larry and Haze so the total was six. Notg's pitcher helped us out as we had eleven walks, including two with the bases loaded.
The schedule includes three holidays (Easter, Mem Day and July 4) and a league bye on Mothers' Day this year. Put that together with a bye we have in early June, and you will be able to go camping many weekends this season. But we do play the next three Sundays, and we get another doubleheader in late June.

Chopper 150 rbi (#4)
Haze 30 bb (#7)
Game 2:
