Winning Streak Extended...


...to two games.

The Solid Gold Hits struck early, once again, as they batted around in the first inning to go up 8-0 early. The inning was highlighted by a 2 RBI single from Leticia followed immediately by an RBI single down the 3rd baseline from Kristi.

Game ball winner, Chris N., pitched an amazing game striking out like 50 batters and making things really easy for the Hits' defense...which is good because sometimes the defense ain't so good...especially when the ball is hit to the shortstop.

It was pretty much one of your all time whoopins as the final score was 12-2 or something ridiculous like that.

Oh, and I should mention that there was some poor sport in a stupid Mets jersey on the other team whom it felt pretty good to beat.

So this stellar victory brings the Hits record to an impressive 4-1-1. Even with that pesky tie we're still alive in the race for the league championship. After our bye week next week, our next game we be against the rival Bulldogs on June 5 and if by some crazy chance some other team beats the stupid-good Bulldogs then we will be playing for first place. Woohoo!

Before I go, let me take the time to thank the whole team. It's tough to draw up that lineup every week while trying to be fair to everyone individually and to the team as whole and I appreciate the lack of whining. And I want to single out Paul here as being pretty much the best sport ever. He's been at every game and always says he's ready to play if we need him, but he's perfectly happy eating peanuts and cheering us on. Maybe he's just pushing for the position of team mascot so he can relive his college days as Bucky Badger, but I see it as just good sportsmanship. Anyhow, I hope to get you in the game someday, Paul.

Here, Bucky promotes reading. Is that Paul in there?
