Impenetrable Blog of Fish: Fish Fall to Akamites despite Raucous Rally in the 7th

It was a wild time in Catfish Nation last night. The Fish shone brightly despite their loss to the Akamites. We had them running scared, Fish, don't you doubt it!

The game started well for us, but got a bit brutal in that 3rd inning. But we battled back from a score of 19 - 6 at the top of the 7th to a final score of 19 - 13! So we can hold our Fishy heads high with fierce pride.

MVP is tied I would say between Butters Elwell, with his 2 home runs and sneaky double (THANK YOU, BUTTAZZZZ!) and John "The Battler" Abbate, for starting that rally in the 7th, and hitting consistently well with 2 singles.

But really, as per usual, all the Fish contributed to this hard-fought battle. Weisenheimer "Skully Pants" Weininger hit well, with a single; Pickles Picazio had a single and a triple and also some much-needed catches in center field; Tslammy Tsai had two doubles; Roast 'Em Rosie had a single and some crucial stops at 3rd base; Perfesser "Let's Geau!" Nedeau had a single and some easy-on-the-eyes catches out in left field; Pesky Pole Wladkowski would have run the bases with aplomb, had he not been cruelly robbed of his hits; the Valiant Valenti made crucial plays at 2nd and also got a single; Pitch-Well/Hit-Well Elwell pitched with fiery grace, as per usual; The Personable Persons got a single; The Beast Mauser had a beastly triple; Savagely Savage battled at the plate only to be robbed of her hits, but she fought back defensively, making key plays at 2nd base, with help from Hungry Like DeWeolf, who himself had 2 singles; The Baffler Abbate baffled the Akamites both on the mound and the plate; H Bomb Hasley contributed to the rally in the 7th with a battle at the plate that concluded in a single, and also showed determined hustle going after a pop up behind the plate; yours truly Captain Batty had a single in the aforesaid rally, as did M Lo Marco Bobo Lowenthal, who also fittingly made a beautious running catch in the top of the 7th, ending the Akamites dreams of getting further runs against us.

To top it all off, we even had our faithful fan the Photobomber Rubeck cheering us on, and a bat boy, Declan "The Whipper Snapper" Weininger, to keep our bats in order.

In sum, a fabulous fishy-fun-filled time was had by all, and We Will Get Them Next Time, Fish! That next time will be 2 weeks from now (no game on the 22nd), field 9, which is the grass field furthest down Vassar Ave. The triumvirate (myself, Marco, H Bomb) will be away, and the interim Captains Elwell will be heading up the Fishes. GO FISH!
