Impenetrable Blog of Fish: Fish 6, Strawdogs 27

Hi Catfish and Friends,

Another tough loss last night to the Strawdogs. The game started out so well: lead-off batter Richard “Richie Rich” Wladkowski smashed a HOME RUN! His first of the season. And it set the tone for the rest of that inning and the next. However, after that, somehow the Fish went off the rails a bit.

We were a lean team, and were grateful to Team Elwell for recruiting their friend “Babe” Ruth so that we could at least have 9 players on the field. The Babe did well, getting onto base twice. We tip our cap to you, Babe! Other highlights include the aforementioned lead-off home run by Richie Richard, returning Fish Levi “Leviathan” Rubeck’s catches in the infield, and, perhaps the most exciting moment of all, when Chrazy Eyes Chris Eyer launched a rocket from left field so that Scalding Kate Elwell could tag out the lead runner at home plate (as pitcher she had to cover home, since our regular catcher H Bomb Hasley was forced to play short field). This was a sight to see! We were all filled with Catfish pride.

Thanks to all for playing, and join us next week, Monday, July 7, when we face the BE Natural Killers at 5:30 on the Women’s Softball Diamond.
