I think we really set the tone for the rest of the season last night against the Legion of Doom. We may have lost, true, but it was always close and we were always in the running, right up until the top of the 7th! I think almost everyone (yours truly excluded) got on base last night. JC (held together by a bungie cord) got some fantastic doubles, singles by Katie, Kate, Greg, David, Marc, Ryan, Evan, Erin, Johna, Alexa--and HOME RUNS by Ryan and Marc! Ryan's scored 3 runs sometime in the middle of the game (3rd inning? 5th inning?); and Marc's was a fateful run that tied it up for us in the top of the 6th. Defense was also great--Ryan had a couple of really nice snags at first base that bear mentioning, and rookie Johna came oh so close to making a key out at home!
We started off well, getting 5 runs in the first inning to their measley 2. The only inning we didn't score was the 2nd, and they caught up a bit, making it 5 - 4. Then we each had a high scoring 3rd inning to tie it up at 9. Somehow they managed to be leading by 1 run, 16 - 15, at the end of the 5th inning. Then Marc's homer tied it up. Unfortunately then they came back and scored 8 big runs in the bottom of the 6th. (I was pitching; ugh.) So it was 16 - 24. But the Fish valiantly rallied in the top of the 7th, scoring 6 runs, with some clutch hitting by rookie Alexa, Kate C, and Marc.
Our momentum couldn't quite get us to finish off the Legion of the Doom. I think maybe if we had, Laura C. would have seen the error of her ways and come over to our side. But we'll meet this Doomy Legion again, on Tuesday, June 22. Until then, we should remind ourselves that we are fierce, warrior Fish with nothing to be ashamed of. Indeed there is much of which we should be proud!
Next game is Tuesday next week, vs. our old nemesis the Shadow Masks. Stay tuned to this blog for Evan's take on the Legion of Doom.
Thanks to all for playing! And thanks to Ebi for taking pix--can't wait to see what turned out.
