It's been a busy few days so I'll regale the past two games at the same time.
Last Friday (Wow, I'm very late), Wayzata's Trojans came to PBMF to play some ball. Good ol' Maris Blanchard (first baseman), Coach Bobby DeWitt, and the rest of our favorites were among the cast and crew for the Trojans.
It was a shootout. We ended up winning 14-8, our first game scoring over 10 runs, but also only our second game where opponents scored 7 or more runs. We ended the game with 13 hits (most of the season) and three guys each had 3 hits. It was refreshing to see us score in all but one inning.
Then, after a nice weekend, the Hornettes came over for a grudge match. Hammy pitched for us and some sophomore with a decent curveball pitched for them.
Very little happened in the game, nothing that I would normally blog about, other than the fact that in the middle of the game, a Hornette base runner broke for third base. I wasn't going to let him break and enter into my home without a fight. Sinderson fired the ball to me, I made the pick out of the dirt to catch the ball and put the tag on. To be honest, I'm not sure whether or not we got him, it was an extremely close play, but the umpire called him safe. Coach Lerner walked out to talk to the umpire and asked him about the play, bringing the season total to 6.5.
We ended up losing 6-5, our fourth one run loss of the season.
On a happier note, Christmas came a little early for Coach Berger. Yesterday, the new John Deere grounds-keeping, field sweeping, all purpose four-wheeled cart arrived. The E-Z Go (the old grounds-keeping cart died a tragic death earlier in the year, so we had been living without one since the beginning of the season. Coach Berger took it on it's maiden voyage after Coach Strong christened it by cracking bottle of champagne on the nose. I will here by name it the Berger Mobile.
