We seem to be getting stuck on 5 runs a lot this year! We
were a lean team again last night, the leanest ever, with just 9 of us taking
the field: Kate “Give ’em Hell” Elwell was pitching, David “Weisenheimer”
Weininger was at 3rd, Jon “Butters” Elwell at short, yours truly Captain Batty
and Levi “Laser-Beam Leviathan” Rubeck trading off between 2nd and short field,
and Rich “Richie Rich” Wladkowski at 1st; in the outfield we were most ably
represented by Marc “M Lo” Lowenthal, Ryan “Pickles” Picazio, and Matt “The
Baffler” Abbate. Truly amazing catches in the outfield by all three! At bat, we
struggled, but we did have our shiny moments: a double and a homerun by Butters
(natch), triples by M Lo and the Weisenheimer, and singles by Pickles, Richie
Rich, and yours truly Cap’n Batty. And all the while we were cheered on by
Tslammin’ Johnny Tsai! This truly lifted our spirits, as it has been a big loss
to the Fish not to have him in our line-up this year.
We practiced our chops in the warm-up while the Koch
Blockers battled the BE Natural Killers on field 2. They managed to tie the
evil BENKs, 18 – 18, and will face them in the playoffs next week. It’s
no secret that we Catfish will be rooting for the Koch Blockers to take home the
much-coveted prize of 2013 Kentucky Fried Champs.
This is the close of the Catfish season, but we do have one
last hurrah: our match-up against Harvard University Press on August 10 at 1:30
pm, at Danehy Park in Cambridge. This could be the year that the underdog
triumphs! If you would like to donate to support Easter Seals, you can do so at

Happy Friday to you all, and thanks for your support of the
Fish.
