All 12 of us were there by the 8:40 PM game start. The only trouble is… It was an 8:20 PM start. Just kidding Tom. I can relate to working 50-60+ hour weeks. At least when you did show up you didn’t flake out… Like the coach…
So at game time we expected 10 regulars but we were all honored and glad that there were 11. This player ranks 3rd in all time seasons with the team. With his appearence last night it made it his 40th season with us. He has great overall stats but I’ve got to bust his “chain” and remind everyone the one lifetime stat he holds against everyone else is KO’s at 31. :-) That’s right, it was none other than Glenn Eddins. He did great picking up where he left off playing great at 2nd base and hitting 2 jacks deep to right field. One for a triple (perhaps it was a home run back in his youth).
So Slop was our opponent. Eddie and Troy Malonzo are on their team and are both former WPFF players. They got 1 run in the top of the 1st but we batted around and scored our biggest inning of game with 9 runs. In the 2nd we outscored them 1-0 but they outscored us 2-0 in the 3rd. In the 4th we did good outscoring them 0-6 and in the 5th neither team scored. We were up 13 in the 6th and for the 3rd inning in a row and 4 out of 6 innings we held them to 0 runs. We had 1 out when we go our 2nd run across. That’s all that was needed to win y a mercy rule. Final Score: WPFF 18 Slop 3.
Great game. Slop was the best defensive team holding their opponent to under 4 runs per game. We not only scored 18 but we could have scored much more had the mercy rule not kicked in. In addition it was us who shined on defense holding the only other undefeated team to only 3 runs.
Next week we have the dreaded 6:10 early game. Ken B. may or may not be there depending on his sprained ankle. So far everything should be there. Please let me know if you can’t make the game.
Have a great w/e and Go CSUF Titans in the college baseball super regionals and Go Lakers… Please!!!
