Hits Notch Win #1

Powered by celery sticks, Capri-Sun and Big League Chew the Solid Gold Hits coasted to our first victory of the season. The 9-4 victory over the the West Coast Builders brought the Hits back up to the .500 mark and into shared possession of 2nd place.

Highlights of game #2 included:

* Betsy K. taking Team Momming to a whole new level with celery sticks, peanut butter, raisins, aerosol cheese in a can and Capri-Suns. Absolutely amazing.

* A female West Coast Builder doing a superfluous, head-first, belly flop slide into first base. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before and unlike anything I will ever see again.

* Z making a cash register sound (cha-ching!) in left field after one of the West Coast Builders least talented females, who clearly had never played ball before, struck out swinging. It was basically like gloating after arm wrestling a baby, but if we can't pick on those weaker than us then what have we got?

* Dawn B. bringing home the game ball in her Solid Gold Hits debut in which she already showed dramatic improvement by not wearing jeans. Welcome aboard, Dawn!

* Hillary B. hustling to score all the way from second on a hit to left field.

* Hit for a night, Ed F., getting psyched out by the razzing from his own dugout and striking out.

* Matt R. in his pitching debut for the Hits doing a heck of a job. Sure, he let up more runs and hits to the WCBs in the first inning than they had all of their previous game, but whatever.

It turns out that the only thing the West Coast Builders are building is a reputation as the worst team in the league. After their 17-0 embarrassment at the hands of the Luck Dragons last week, they are probably feeling pretty good about themselves for only losing 9-4 to us. Of course, unlike those hearltess Luck Dragons, we were just too kind to pile on more runs. Also unlike the Luck Dragons, we've been on the other end of games like this too many times.

Next week we play at 7:30pm against another unknown team, Old Skool. If they play as poorly as they spell then we are in luck.

Oh and a big thanks to Julie V. for securing victory breakfast pizza in this morning!
