Skin of the Teeth Wins
I need a few winks after today's dehydrating games but this can't wait. Lewis Carroll would have been hard pressed to pen today's events! Blue descended on Randazzo Field with a full complement of players as Coach Mel instructed us that there would be liberal substitutions due to the heat. Glen Burnie proved to be most gracious hosts as Blue, with a couple of exceptions, couldn't hit their way out of a wet paper bag. With the likes of Bobby D, Al, and Fred hitting dinks, slow rollers and lame ducks all day the only outfield hits came from the least expected. When was the last time you saw Neal, Joe and Greg park hit after hit over the outfielders heads? If not for the 12 Glen Burnie infield errors, Blue would not have escaped with a 17-7 victory. Then the heat took its toll as Blue had to use 3 different third basemen, 4 shortstops and 2 shortfielders not to mention the carousel of outfielders. Jr was called on to play 6 different positions to the point of total exhaustion. Did you ever think you would see Hank forced to pinch run for Jr? We should have had a M A S H tent on site today. Let's pray for that 3" rainstorm tonight as we are too debilitated to take on Gray tomorrow. But for the grace of the March Hare, we would not have won game two 12-1.
