You know, for a few brief moments last night I felt a little worried. A little worried that our team had maybe lost a little of our edge after such an easy win last week. And let's face it, that Sanford Wellness team definitely DOES NOT suck. So here's how it went down....
Sanford pretty much owned us for the first 2 innings. They were kicking to every little gap we gave them and their base running was top-notch. Before we knew it, we were down 7-0. How is that even possible? I detailed scientific post-game study showed that several of our key players weren't drinking beer the 1st and 2nd innings...and we all know that lack of beer has a negative impact on performance.
Fortunately the Big Johnson's got into the groove in the 3rd inning with a 10-run stretch that was kicked off (no pun intended) by an awesome grand slam by yours truly. Yep - my first ever. It only took 5 seasons...and it'll probably be another 5 seasons before I'm able do it again ;-) Seriously though, it was pretty awesome. Don't worry, I won't sprain my elbow patting myself on the back.
So the combination of beer and the 10-run stretch woke us up and we were able to hold on to the "W" 12-10. What a great game...a nail-biter to the end.
Kudos to Eric for several great plays at 2nd and to Rob for a couple amazing catches...and for shedding blood for the team on his first night - dude - you're HARD CORE! Also Craig made some kind of incredible "matrix-like" move to get out of a pickle between 2nd and 3rd base. I didn't think the human body was meant to move that way, it was cool. I tried to get a picture but oddly enough Craig didn't show-up - are you some kind of cross-dimensional super hero or something?
Anyway - it looks like we're playing the Longfellow Leopards next week - 6:15, field 2. And if the schedule is right Better When Wet (Craig & the Media One gang) will be umping...so that should be a good time. Until then...stay sexy Big Johnson's.
