Double Rainbow

After a two-week absence, everyone's favorite underdog blog is back. Last week we apparently lost bad to the team that was essentially last year's version of us. I wasn't at the game but this is what I gather happened: Despite BK having it his way with a home run we never had a chance, but the Fleischer played the entire game like they were down by ten (they weren't). If we show the same spark we showed today the next time we play the Art Memorial, things will be different. Moving on.

Today's game was interesting. After giving up five runs in the top of the first, it looked like we were on par for some same old same old. But then a funny thing happened: someone asked Jenna to go get some beer, and she said "What's the point? It'll be too late by the time I get back." I responded by assuring her that we would bat through the order in the bottom of the first. And we did. At the end of the first, we had a 6-5 lead, our first come from behind lead.

Now I don't have the book on me, but I'm fairly certain that everyone who touched a bat today got on base. Runs were scored thanks to good hitting and smart base running. In the field, we kept the errors to a minimum and only gave up 3 or 4 unearned runs. Some Hussey took the mound and we had a 3 up 3 down inning. We improved all around, which bodes well for future outings.

Up next we have the Pen & Pencil Club, who we scored 11 runs on the last time we played them. If we carry our momentum from tonight's feel good game of the year into tomorrow we should have another competitive game to look forward to.

Score: 22-13, bringing us to 0-9 on the season.

Moral Victory: We played well all around. The bats were alive, fielding was much better. Plus, a double rainbow happened.

Injury Report: Harry Potter was viciously assaulted by Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle tonight. Malfoy would be Mr. Potter's fancy footwork rounding first, magically turning a double into a bloody single. Potter followed that up with balls to the shin and foot. Not a good day to be a wizard.
