First game was an exhibition of Blue's resilence in pulling together in downing a pesky Glen Burnie. Starting an inning with two outs and scoring five runs speaks to who we are. We saw one swing of Dave's mighty bat go for a homer. In game two, Dave rendered a decoy swing in perhaps hoping to convince their right fielder to play deeper (only possible if he went behind the fence). Oscar weathered the heat without melt-down to gain the victory while John just continued to be Mr. RBI. Blue 12-other guys 8.
Tom took to the mound for game two prompting another OF/IF realignment. Blue spotted Glen Burnie a short lived lead in the first. We all admired the fresh infield dirt which provided for clean fielding, but.....transitioning from dirt to outfield grass can be treacherous (one unnamed teammate suggested we may have a new nickname on the team- Stumble, Fumble, and Fall(you gotta feel the love)!Speaking of Bob--the man is a hitting machine!!!
The play of the day goes to the combo of Tom and Mike. Tom surprisingly speared a liner up the middle at the mound and fired a laser to the first
base bag knowing Mike would get there from behind the runner; sure enough, DP!!! (Looked like Mel in the 60s heaving the pigskin on a fly route trusting his receiver). Blue 14-Glen Burnie 5.
One last note- it is recommended everyone label their lunch boxes. Isn't it bad enough to eat a fellow teammates snacks but then begin offering his grapes to spectators?
P.S. To our two "left out" fielders who are vacationing--I hope I have painted the story to your liking!
