It was another tough loss for the Fish last night as we fell to the Koch Blockers. As you can see from the scoreboard, though, it began as a very close game, and the KBs just continued to chip away at things in the later innings.
Still, the Fish sparkled as usual! We welcomed rookies Ariel “Bake-Me-A-Cake-As-Fast-As-You-Can” Baker-Gibbs, Nathan “The Lawyerator” Band, and Gabrielle “The Jolly” Joffe, all of whom played with fierce Fishy fire. We also welcomed back after a long hiatus José “Hot Stuff” Herrero, who has had some surgery on his right knee and is now bionic and better than ever.
Hits were had by Evan “The Maus Beast” Mauser, Jon “Buttery Goodness” Elwell (a single AND a double), John “Birthday Butchie Boy” Costello (a single), Ryan “The Pickler” Picazio (a double), David “The Weisenheimer” Weininger (a single), Andrew “Sweetie Pie” Sweet (a perfectly placed hit to left field earning him a single), Hot Stuff Herrero (a single), The Lawyerator Band (a single), Erin “H Bomb” Hasley (a double!), Yar “The Yaaarchitect” Laakso (a single), and Eric “Mini-Commish” Throop (HOMERUN!).
Highlights were Mini-Commish’s out-of-the-park homerun (of course), which got us on the board at last, bringing home The Yaarchitect in the bottom of the 5th. Believe me, Fish Fans, when I say the ball sailed off his bat like it had a mission, was on a journey to a better land, determined to make the world a better place. Further shining moments included Katie “Mama Hellie Dawg” Helke Dokshin’s sweet play at 3rd base, Buttery Goodness’s double play with the Weisenheimer, and The Yaaarchitect’s perfect catch in short field.
And perhaps the sweetest moment of all: enjoying the company of Li’l Gena “The Genasaurus” Dokshin, come to cheer on his mom and chillax with his dad, The Menace Dokshin, who was recently awarded his Ph.D. Kudos and Huzzah to you, sir!
We capped off our night at the Muddy Charles Pub, singing Happy Birthday to Butchie Costello, and belting out everyone’s favorite show tune, “Cheese Tomorrow, Guaranteed (Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!)!”
We hope you’ll join us next Thursday, June 13, on field 9, when we will kick the butts of the Killer Bs.
(Oh yes, and how did we "improve in a sense"? Well, as The Sweetie Pie Sweet pointed out, last week we lost by 11 runs, this week by a mere 7—you do the math, Catfish Nation!)
