Team BS set a record today.
Helen Kostoff (with my assist) poured a record number of her whiskey/schnapps/OJ/bacon shots in the postgame celebration. Unfortunately the Guinness record people weren't there to count officially but I think it may ahve been north of 12 and was spread out over I swear half the bleacher front row. Bottoms up!
We had much to celebrate, because we survived some bad defense and kept the Purple Whitenecks at bay for a final score of 23-19. The game was close throughout, and Purple just wouldn't go away, tying it at 19 to end the eighth. Art Miner was the hitting star as he went 4-4 with two triples, and one of those started off our four run ninth that put the game away.
Purple still was not done, but with the tying run at the plate we turned a slick 6-4-3 (Dave DeWitt to Kostoff to Heffe) double play to end it.
Curt Wade continued his hot hitting, also going 4-4 with a double. Heffe (the usual 3-3 Dinkers) and Frank Coppa (2-2 plus two BBs) rounded out the perfect at the plate. Brian Black and David Peterson were 3-4 in the BS cause.
Miner made a couple of noteworthy catches as did DeWitt in RC and Darren Bobrosky in left. Coppa dug one out at first in the first, and DeWitt lunged to catch a line drive at SS in the third. But 3B Dan May owned the fourth - first he leapt high for a line shot ticketed for left field, then on the next play he cut off a shot toward the 5-6 hole and flung it to Rover Kostoff to get the second out.
I heard that winter will start in earnest next week as it is supposed to get colder, but we will try to stay hot. That's no BS.
