Last week's practice paid off as
we cruised past FXF this week, in 4 innings. Batters 1 thru 5 were unstoppable, using
legal softball bats to hit rockets and powerful speed to run the bases. Steve
A. "the Freak" continued to lead off, getting on base at no cost.
Chris finally showed his softball skills and hit the ball well and continued
his leadership in the outfield. Andreas "The Athlete" continued to
stumble as he ran the bases and showed how not to slide to second (dude, invest
in longer shorts PLEASE). Tony hit nothing but triples and allowed Hernan to
drive him in at every bat.
The game ball wasn't handed to
any of the first 5 batters, even though they contributed 10 of the 15 runs in
the game. Instead, it was handed to our all-star second basewoman, Erin
"Marathon" McCarthy. She used her swift speed, hitting a triple and a
single and had 3 big RBI's that put the nail in the game coffin.
Thank you FXF for your
sportsmanship and to all of TPG players for playing your butt off.
I'm glad to be one of your
managers and let today's game show you that all it takes is a team playing
together and having fun. Sometimes you don't need all of your best players to
show up, but players playing their best, supporting each other and having
fun.
This blog is written by TPG's new co-manager and esteemed pitcher, Hernan Graziano, whom we are proud to welcome in our management team. Well said, Hernan! We couldn't agree more.
