The bats never got going in the first game and the gloves let us down in the second as we were swept in a doubleheader on the hottest day of the year. Had Our Shots (a team Tom Scheck describes as his favorite opponent) beat us 12-7 in the opener. B-Dubs thrashed us 36 to 19 in the nightcap which we called off after six innings. Only one more regular season game to go.

We scored a season-high 30 runs and posted a 30 to 13 victory over The Who. Ben Wareham had two home runs and 7 RBIs and his mother inspired an opposing player to comment “nice wheels” as she beat out a play at first. There were 15 non-players in attendance at the game (a high for the year) and 25 people at the chalk talk. Plus $213 was won at pull tabs. A good night all around.

Tuesday’s game was marked by our relentless offense which produced just enough runs to stay ahead of the pesky Probation punks. With that 27-23 victory, the team is now 10 and 10 on the season, a perfect balance of joy and agony. Next week, we have a double-header on Tuesday and another game on Thursday to wrap up the regular season. The Eichtens will be there again, so of course, chalk talk attendance is mandatory.

Remember we have a 5:45 game on Thursday, so leave plenty of time. Traffic can be bad and there are a lot of crazy drivers out there.

Thanks to Mary (not shown) and Randy Greenly for hosting the All Star break festivities again this year. Good food and fun, featuring a preview of Randy’s plans next year to hike the length of the Appalachian Trail. Randy is shown here in the hammock he sleeps in while hiking. It keeps him off the ground and at a convenient height for hungry bears.

…is French for pretty. That’s the name of Kate and Joshua’s new dog, not a description of Thursday’s game. Money Shot scored early and often enroute to a 27 to 14 victory. On the positive side no one was struck by lightning. The loss broke MPR’s four game winning streak.
