I'm trying to wrap my arms around the nomenclature here.
The Dysfunctional Ones built a 15-4 lead over the admittedly shorthanded though very talented Team Four through five innings, and 19-4 through the top of the seventh. And coasted to victory after that.
We should all be so dysfunctional. We all wish we were that dysfunctional.
Along the way we had three five run innings. Team One does not have a lot of power hitters, but we can be relentless. In the third we put seven singles out of eight batters. Same thing in the seventh, with a double and a sac fly thrown in. In the fifth inning five spot, we did flex some muscles - Charlie Pastor drove a ball past the the left fielder for a three run homer, and Art Miner promptly hit the same ball, but his sore hamstring held him to a double. In the second we scored three on a double by Art Oller sandwiched by hit by Neil Henry, James Little, Julia Gillette, and a clutch two out hit by Bob Muegge.
In the mean time on the mound Muegge and Bill Warren had the Fours eating out of their hands, with notable help from our defense. Warren even got a swinging strikeout. We turned multiple double plays, again. Pastor made a great play up the middle to get a putout in the third. Paul Lisi caught a ball on the run in the seventh.
The Four made a run in the eighth but it was too little too late.
Pastor had himself a game, 4-4, two doubles, the homer, and altogether six RBIs. Lisi joined him at 4-4 withe three runs scored and three driven in. Most everyone else had two hits.
We look forward to more dysfunction after our bye week next week. Maybe we'll get some better meds, but I don't want to change a thing.
