TPG believes in T.E.A.M.…...TPG vs FXF

T -  Together 

E -  Everyone

A - Achieves

M - More

As one of TPG's Co-mangers this year one thing that I've learned is that softball is a TEAM game.  If you believe in your team and play together to have fun then no matter what the outcome is …YOU ARE A WINNER!  That is what TPG has always tried to preach and promote and nothing exemplified that more than this game in which we played as a T.E.A.M.

Due to a schedule switch from a Monday game to a Tuesday game TPG headed into today's match up against rival FXF without one co-manager and key starters who represent the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th hitters in our potent lineup and for any team that is something really hard to overcome. …. AND Not only that, TPG was in jeopardy of not having enough players to field a team ……  but no worries T.E.A.M TPG knew that they had the deepest and most talented team in the league and that even without the starters, the rest of the team would just have to step up and answer the call.

As game time approached Co-Managers Simon "4Ever" Yeung and Princess "of the Phillipines" Salvacion arrived at the field at 5:29pm just in time for the first pitch of the game.  With their arrival TPG now had a full starting team of 10 players.   

The first 2 innings was a very tight defensive game for both teams as TPG and FXF had runners in scoring positions but both failed to score a run.  Then came the top of the 3rd Inning when TPG's bats woke up……with the Bases Loaded and one out, Rookie SS, Chris "It's about GaaaaD Damnnmm time"Gutierrez came to bat and hit a bases clearing triple that scored the first 3 runs of the game.  Chris wasn't done yet as he added 2 more RBIS later to add to his total of 5 RBIS for the game.  The rest of the T.E.A.M contributed to the effort as Andreas "Maybe he really is a super athlete" Karales (2-2, 2B, 2BB, 2 runs), Stephen "I don't know how to read a subway map so that's why I was late" Dargo (2-2, 1 RBI) and Hernan "The Italian Stallion" Graziano (2-2, 2BB, 2 Runs) kept the offense moving.   

T.E.A.M TPG played solid Defense the rest of the way with Key plays from LCF -Omar "Da Stache" Bustamante, 3B- Frank "Maybe he was a Tank in his heyday" Lew and as always solid pitching from Hernan "The Italian Stallion" Graziano.

Game ball goes to......... T.E.A.M TPG with all around solid efforts from a shorthanded group and more importantly playing as ONE.  In the end TPG extends its winning streak to 3……TPG wins 6-2.  On to the next game.
