Today we braved the Belmont fields for the last time for a showdown with the Bad Touch. It wasn't pretty, folks. Apparently we need to brush up on our Sing-Along Songs because we had issues following the bouncing balls. Errors in the field gave the Touchers way more hits and runs than they should have had. Then, in the 5th inning, we woke up. Ben, Aaron, New Nick, and Max were our best outfield combo yet, and the infield stepped their game up with good teamwork between Pugh and Scrappy Doo at Short and 2nd and stellar play from player of the game BVDubs. BK moved from outfield to first and played much better. In the fifth and sixth innings we only gave up one hit. Unfortunately, I had my first out of the game as the second out of a 1-2-3 7th inning. Aboo. Aside from a few strikeouts and my dismal 7th inning showing, our bats were better today, particulary in the aforementioned 5th and 6th innings, and I think we will carry that into tomorrow's game.
With smart fielding and selective hitting (B-E SELECTIVE!), tomorrow is a winnable game. Let's play to win.
Message From the Social Chair: I recently jokingly referred to myself as the team social chair. Apparently some people took it seriously. So here's two things to keep in mind: If you haven't brought beer yet, please do so soon or contribute money to our drinking habits. We love enablers. Also, representatives from both teams will converge on Brown Street Pub (24th and Brown in Fairmount) after tomorrow's game. Hope to see you there.
Aesop's Fables Moral Victory of the Game: Charlotte learned how to keep the book. Also, we have a ton of extra beer for tomorrow.
Humpty Dumpty Injury Report: First base, now known as Cursed Base, claimed its third victim tonight as Speak-N-Spellman injured his foot midway through the top of the first. Speaks thinks it could be serious enough to end his season, which sucks. Also sucking was the fact that Harry Potter wasn't on hand to perform a healing spell. -10 from Gryffindor.
Score: 22-5
