From Under the Bus, It's Orange 26 - Green 28

You're not supposed to throw your teammates under the bus in these write-ups. Accentuate the positive, skip the bad. Happy, happy joy joy.

Well...I've never been one to hold back.

The good news is I don't have to name names, because the list is long, and it is crowded here under the bus. Maybe not everyone had an error, but nearly everyone did and it cost us dearly and was the difference in a 28-26 loss to Green.

The other good news is that we are an exciting hitting team. Greg Wilson and Vince Franceschi led the way with four hit perfect games. With three were Brian Black, Mark Edelstone, Ron Schwab, Mike Sainden, Bob Carver, Gabe Tanaka, Kevin Hopkins and yours truly. That's ten out of 14 with at least three hits.

Franceschi had a home run and a triple in his pocket, although his teammates had to practically go out on the field and beg him to keep running on the homer. Vince drove in seven runs to lead the team. Sainden crushed one to Field 6 hobbling on one leg and limped all the way to third base. Hopkins and Ike Garcia also added triples.

I'm hoping next week we discover that we actually own gloves AND know how to use them. There's always hope right?
