The Solid Gold hits improved to 2-0 last night as they defeated Majority Rules... twice. First the Hits won by forfeit as Majority Rules just couldn't make it on time. About half an hour later when their whole team finally showed up, the Hits took it to them once again in a scrimmage game beating them by a score of like 12-2 or something.
So the competition was a bit of a disappointment, but the Hits still had a a great showing. The team batted around in the first inning and Leticia continued her own personal hot streak of making contact as she once again almost legged out a single.
Newcomers KC and Amanda M. performed excellently and will undoubtedly be Solid Gold Hits mainstays for some time to come. Another Hits rookie, Amber B., proved herself a worthy firstbasewoman and even managed to score a run as her pants were falling down. That's dedication.
Perhaps more impressive than anything on the field was the support of the Solid Gold Hits fanbase. Even though it was windy and miserable and the other team didn't show up, the Hits fans were out in force and even ready to take the field should we have needed them (Paul, I'm going to have you sign the waivers so you can be a legal player and we can get you in the game next time).
So the game ball, went to a fan representative, Libby, who also performed her Team Mom duties by bringing snacks. Of course, by "game ball" I mean "tiny bottle of (Solid) Goldschlager."
