Doug Horrisberger could only look on with total disdain Thursday night as a late MPR rally fell short.

After scoring four times in the final inning, MPR lost 8-7 to the History Center folks.  Jim Bickal knocked in six of the team’s seven runs!  Elsewhere, Johnny Rothman scored thrice and Captain Tom also scored two runs, though Tom still has a good five weeks of penance to make up for defensive blunders of games past.

Most teammates agreed the team probably could have won if Michael Jackson’s death had been the only event of the day; but to add Farrah Fawcett’s death, the launch of the NewsQ website, and the fact that this was the first game Bill Wareham played without his dearly departed bat — it was just too much.
