Blue Game Results- Yes We Are Dancing!

Given my earlier posts, I find it hard to mount escalating drama to this story (like your friend divulging the Climatic ending before you get to see the show). Today began, as the pending Baltimore Grand Prix, with five vehicles departing Westminster's Park N Ride for Randazzo Park. There were many lead changes with Bob leading the majority of the race until his patient and attentive listening to his co-pilot (6.9) apparently diverted them for a pit-stop....hence, last to arrive. Tinker remembering Evers commentary on WHS football days of yore took his advice finishing second by following the blocking of his linemen (WHS's Oscar and Tech's Big Ben).
And, now for the game. Blue's one run first inning lead evaporated quickly. While trailing 8-1 after three innings Blue never flinched. Positive words of encouragement and good natured bantering propelled Blue's offense. We came alive, playing confidently as in when a batter was unsuccessful his teammate immediately came through. When the heat of battle took its toll on Oscar's back, Tim came to the rescue (BOTH Warriors!). When we needed another run, Bob pulled a "run-down" trick out of JR's bag. After allowing eight runs to Glenelg in the first two innings, our defense shut them down until yielding their final two runs in the eighth inning.
END Result: BLUE 18 - Glenelg 10.

Now for my friends' comments on my use of vocabulary (Yes It Is English),
(weak excuses such as, "my edition of Roget's from college has pages too yellowed to read" and "my dictionary has more pages dog-earred than not") Here is a definitions tutorial:
Speed (v): Jerry and Dave

Coaching Extraordinare (v): Ben
Dangerous Hitters (n): Pete, Tom, Mike
Heavy Hitters (n): John, Jim, Al

Team Player Superbious (n): Chance (Hank)
Hitch-hiker's Thumb (n): Tinker (Black, blue, purple, yellow and red)
