Torrid hitting continued tonight. Fifteen of the little suckers, mostly in bunches. Throw in a few timely walks, a few costly errors on Moretrench's part, stellar defense (particularly in the infield), and a parsimonious outing by the Jay Man and it all adds up to a 13 - 4 victory.
Rick, Arch and Mike were 3 for 4. The No. 2 hole was also 3 for 4 with Fred going 2 for 3 and my adding a pinch - hit single in the fifth. Jimmy was on base twice, Pete added a single to a couple of sizzling plays in the field, Steve patrolled left with aplomb and went to right (albeit unsuccessfully, but savvy softball men took notice) with a runner on first, Lary felt no pain behind the plate and banged out a single, Kevin led off the key five-run third with a classic opposite-field single and Robert and Mark nailed down right and had a bit of bad luck at the plate (Robert's shot to left was right at 'em and Mark's knee disserved him on his way to beating out an infield hit [hey, that's the way I saw it].) Ed once again proved his mettle as the best bench coach in the league as he nursed his quad.
Anyway, it's exhausting pushing a pencil on the bench and I've an early deadline tomorrow that I need to save some hyperbole for so that's a wrap.
Thursday's make-up game against the Greenwich Greys STARTS at 8:15. I know that Jimmy, Fred and Arch won't be there. If anyone else can't make it, please let me know ASAP.
