A week after blowing a 5 run lead and ending up with a tie game, The Solid Gold Hits defeated cellar-dwellers, Quick Pitch, for a second time this season.
Oh, and before I go any further, let me apologize for the lateness of this update. I've been too busy celebrating this victory to type...also, I've been busy and sick.
Anyhow, it was another stellar performance by ace pitcher Sonya as she struck out the big, angry, scary guy on their team making him angrier and scarier...but still about the same size.
The day didn't get any better for Big Angry Scary Guy. During his second at bat he smashed the ball out to deep, deep, deep, deep left-center field, but Brett had smartly positioned himself in that exact spot for the out. In his third at bat, dude hit a screaming grounder to second where game-ball winner, Jessica, snagged it with a diving maneuver and then tossed it to first...of course, he was already rounding first by that time, but quick-thinking first baseman, Mike, applied the tag. I guess the guy thought he could out run Mike, but he must have been unaware that Mike was using The World's Largest Glove so he could pretty much tag anybody out from anywhere on the field.
The Hits went up 6-0 early and hung on late to win 6-5. While we can't be happy with our lack of production late in the game, you've got to like that early surge.
Other game highlights included:
*Coach Nick committing two errors on one play
*Brett getting called out for being a good sport and hitting a pitch that was well out of the strike zone
*Another exciting relay from deep, deep outfield to get a runner out at the plate
*8 post-game drinks at the Tallac Lounge for a total of $20.50.
Pics to come soon.
