It's pretty tough to write up a game when your team doesn't perform to their talent and desire to play well.
I wanted to skip telling about how we hit into three double plays etc.
So I won't. Anymore than that.
However, I do want to recognize a player that played well. Dick Stanley, gardener extraordinaire, has been our most consistent player all season. And he does it quietly. He's hitting .765 and has a team leading 26 RBIs in 11 games.
Oh sure, Andy Steinberg had a very good game at 3B. And each of the other outfielders, Charlie Uhlman, Willie Hollis and Dan DeClercq made fine running catches.
But, Dick made perhaps the catch of the year Thursday. He came sprinting in on a sinking line drive and just like a 25 year old professional went tumbling to the ground and came up with the ball in his glove. I couldn't believe it.
Oh and by the way, with Helen Kostoff, they were the only Cuervo players with three hits on a day when we hit .467 as a team.
If we all gave the effort Dick does, who knows?
