Bowie Silver Home Date

On a clear sunny and warm day Silver trekked to Carroll County. with a perfect 6-0 record. Game one saw Mike S. take the mound to garner the win.  For game two, Blue pitched Jim J. and if not for two innings of infield errors he perhaps would have notched his first win.  After hammering Silver in the first game with 20 runs Blue scored only 12 in the second game.  Freddie P. lead all Blue in RBI's, rookie Larry M. led the team with 3 walks and ole 6.95 Tommy H. led the team in devouring three sandwiches (Phyllis:
I like Braunschweiger as well but with a slice of cheese and mayo)!  Silver's shortstop,  Maris hit a prodigious shot to deep center being only the third player to hit one over the fence, albeit aided by a 35 mph wind gust.  Being the investigative reporter, I did verify by phone that Any Zitney of Red hit one and Chuck Creswell of Harford hit two in one 2009 game. I did find it difficult to be the spectator today, especially when my former dear friend, Chance told me to get off the bench if I wasn't in uniform (there went your fresh veggie garden delights this season Hank). Guess I should attend the next game in uniform.  The team spirit seemed a tad bit lighter today and once the rookies blend with the aged vets I think Blue will gel and make a run for the roses. As always, Yasuko had an error free day in keeping the books (how is it Hank that she can be on the bench not in uniform??????????).
