Red Day

Blue entertained the visiting Red team today and showed their hospitality by allowing Red to score 5 runs in both  the first and second innings.  Blue was not to intimidated as they mounted a dauntless comeback, keeping pace with Howard over the final five innings, but eventually succumbed 17-8.  Perhaps Blue was edgy to begin game one as there were scouts in attendance (not the kind we experienced when playing Legion, high school or college ball).  Now, in the words of Paul Harvey, here is the rest of the story:  Blue deserves drinks on Gray tonight as we have provided Gray with sole possession of first place.  Blue shut down the potent Red bats and jumped on top in game two, never to be challenged.  Game two results: BLUE 13 Red 9!  Did anyone notice the deke from Blue's
right fielder providing for a force out at 2b? (Not only a Thesaurian but also a Thespian)!  Kudos to Freddie P for garnering the win- Red has trouble with Lefties!  To Neal: a thank you for your legs once again------looking forward to tonight! To 6.9 (Tommy): way to be in the game today!  To Mike B: you're starting to earn your keep!!!!!!!!!!!!  Let's celebrate tonight as Carroll County united and keep this thing rolling. I have telepathically received a message from a Punjabi seer that envisions a Blue and Gray 2014 Championship game. P.S.  (2100 hrs):  Tonight's dinner was another success.  It was our pleasure to have Chris Oswald, Farmers and Merchants Bank and Todd Herring in attendance as our teams' sponsors.  All of you in attendance wanting to return to Park's Landing for their delicious shrimp may be disappointed in learning that they are out of stock indefinitely-----Boy can Mike B. put 'em away!
