Don't panic, loyal followers, over the headline....Parkville claimed a victory in so much as they held Blue to ten runs in game two. Game one saw Blue's leadoff man, Al, rope one for a triple which started the hit parade.
Five run first innings are always a good sign! Blue leading 15-1 in the sixth inning opted to allow Parkville to have six outs, relinquishing our last inning at-bats. End Result Blue 15 and Parkville 5.
Game two: A bedraggled Oscar took to the mound for his second game trusting as always in his defense behind him. Now, Oscar is affectionately known as "O" and adorns the 00 jersey but I think he is deserving of another nickname; DD (Durable and Dependable) as his perserverence resulted in fighting through (despite his shakes) to garner his second win of the day.
I challenge anybody to propose any team in the league who has better corner outfielders than Blue...boy, can Neal and Jerry hawk! As for the defense, Blue turned several DP's to include a 7-5. Jim switching 3B with yours truly for SS saw Jim diving and wallowing and yet somehow righting his gyroscope to peg the runner out at third. And as for ole #6.9 with
his stellar play, if you can leap for liners and make short hop catches and turn double plays don't be running to seek Neal's counsel because my throw to you left ball seam marks on your knee (your PI claim won't fly with our barrister as I put him on retainer the moment I heard you were joining our team).
Well fellas, it was fun but I have been called up to Pittsburgh to play with the Pirates tomorow. Will let ya'll know how that turns out. (P.S. to
Thoma Henri, when I queried the Pittsburgh people why me, they just said of all the Blue players ole 6.9 was the penultimate)!
P.S.S. Food for Thought: How about Parkville's 84 1/2 year old first baseman, George, showing leather and footwork that impressed Hank?
BULLETIN BOARD MATERIAL: Howard visits us this coming week and I wish to remind you of their comment last year, "the only good thing to ever come out of Carroll County was a bus". Ponder that 'til we play again!
