GAME #9

Each week we get closer to getting a win. Each week we are blessed with not only good weather, but also a turn out of players beyond compare! This past week saw not only the return of the 3 billy goats Grout, but we had the father/son tandem of Jim and Danny Allison. What a tremendous catch by shortstop Derek Gomes on a foul pop by one of the Salem batters! Gotta be the Blue shoes!

Yes, South Church fell short by a 16-11 score, but the game was well played on both sides, and once the sun wasn't blinding us (nice to be able to say THAT this summer) our fielding got better. Bruce and Patrick both pitched well and we squandered some good scoring chances. Lilly was there, as was Richard Silva (going for the Ripken!), Debbie Grout, Nelson, Jane, Nick and Collette Dionne. Katie Entner continued to cheer on husband John who played first base. Katie Carr was there, but decided to take care of Lilly rather than play. Wonder if that was why we didn't win?

This Monday we are at Magnolia Woods. BRING BUG SPRAY, THEY WILL BE HORRIBLE!!
