Scotch goes down smoothly

TUESDAY. Just doesnt have the same feel as a Thursday
Still so early in the week, and not typically a day the
Foul balls care about nearly as much.
That is until May 8th 2012 when Westminster D Rec Softball
Tuesdays would be changed forever.
It would be known as a day of infamy, when the balls take to the field
for the first time any day other than their blessed Thursdays
westminster softball is poppin due mostly to the popularity of the foul balls
So thursdays have become a booked day, if the balls wanted to continue their legacy
they would need to act quick in the waking hour and decide to leave the current league OR
change from thursday nights to tuesday nights.
They had to do what they had to do. so they comitted to bringing their
high quality entertainment to Tuesday night. to start offending a whole new group of people
During the off season the Balls made a few moves.
With the lose of Streets due to prior engagements, they were
looking to add some firepower to the lineup. After skip did some scouting
he narrowed the field down and had 2 candidates that were balls worthy.
First of those being Ben the (nickname TBD) skips new roomy
He has playing experience and works with majority of the balls
Ben seemed eager to join and was able to finalize a contract prior to opening day
For all you die hard balls fans, you will remeber the 2nd addition to the team

Last season the balls were in a tough spot and down a few players for a big game.
friend of the team Scotty Scojo stepped in and played a great game for the balls.
So during spring training he was invited back to camp and showed a big bat
and serious speed on the base path and the balls knew he would be a huge addition to the team. Now with a full roster of 12 the Balls were ready for battle

So the foul balls worked the day away like drones
putting up with the day to day jobs just to make ends meet
wishing that playing lower D rec softball could pay the bills
but since it doesnt > for the moment > we slave the day away
counting the minutes till our shift end and we can get out and let the day begin.
Game days seem to be the slowest day of the week, mostly due to the anticipation
of getting out on the field for another dance.
Also for the pre game festivities at skips house.
this week there would be no pre game ritual with the lose of Beardo and Spinx
due to a concert at red rocks. and Boo taking final preparations for the baby arrival
The balls were down a player and only had 9 for the lineup.
So streets came back and played with the balls to complete the Game 1 Lineup against Team Scotch.

THE BALLS lost the coin toss so they grabbed their bats first.
Sheetser kicked things off in the leadoff spot with a ripped single
a few batters later Scojo ripped a ball to the outfield and ended up
with a base clearing triple to gain 2 RBI's
Next Socal brought him in with a ball ripped up the middle
the bats continued with hits followed by
Ben, Brian 'Miller' Mueller, Sebass and Michael B.
spraying the ball all over the field and making the defense work for their outs.
THE BALLS had an explosive first inning and put up 7 runs and rounded the batting order.
out on the field the balls were looking just as good. skip even made a diving attempt in the infeld
for a short pop up. He came up just short of catching the ball
and seems to have seriosuly injured himself in the process. (pending MRI results)
The balls got out of the first inning without giving up any runs to team Scotch.
the balls continued their fine hitting display in the 3nd inning putting up another 4 runs
with triples from Clue and scojo with his 2nd triple of the game.
In the 4th they put up another 2 runs starting with a triple from Sheets
followed up by Clue with his 2nd INSIDE THE PARK HOMERUN of the game
In the 5th The Balls put the nail in the coffin when they added another 4 runs
bringing their total to 22 runs through 5 innings.
With Stellar defense and great bats the balls pulled out a W in game 1
with a final score of Foul Balls 22   -   Scotch 5
bringing the balls to a 1-0 record.

"big welcome to the newbies, i did hint a lack of alcohol scent,
 that is easily rectified for next game though.. that alcohol free 
scent may have just been the abscense of Len and Beardo and Bo" - SKIP

"Felt good to get out there and get a win!! I thought Larry had a good catch at 3rd, a line drive. He also took one of the shin, overall strong defense on our part"  - Ben

See you all down there next Tuesday when the balls take on long time rivals
Buster H @ 815pm.
