Greg Z's Report

We played 4 on 4.
Nance I think got two goals for whites. I got one. Tommy I'm sure scored. Joe Evans almost scored about 10 times. Brian was on fire. Eddie was awesome. O'Connor I'm pretty sure had one.
Danny scored 2 or 3... Brian wasn't pleased. ;)
We all went into the other locker room and drank there.
Not sure who went to Wild Wings as I had to go home and crash
.


Fred's Report!

Attendance - 17. (8 White, 9 Red). Only 5 in the senior locker room so there was plenty of beer left over. Don't know who took it home for next week but I'm sure it will be there.
Played 4 on 4. Fast, wide open game. Passing by the Reds Tweedy, Bill By The

Brinks, Klinger and Beak were in the land of the underwater specialists.

Way, Tom O'Connor and Rags hard to defend. Offset by Tom Z, the Czar, Terry and Greg but just wasn't enough.
No one to work scoreboard so the Czar did not put up any goals but Reds won by 3. I know because I heard Tweedy tell Tom Z. when there was 1 minute left "You better hurry up, you're down by 3." Tweedy had 3 at least. Tom Z. had one or two, I think, but spent most of the game trying to set people up like he always does. He set me up 3 times in close and I hit the Anvil in the chest with each shot.
Anvil and the Brain both made highlight reel saves.

  • Memorable Moments: 
  • Michelle singled, stole second and third then scored on a pop up.
  • Michelle doubled off of the top of the right field fence, went to 3rd on a fly ball, then she stole home on a double steal. She worked bases loaded walks twice to pick up 2 RsBI.
  • Michelle pitched her first scoreless inning.

  • Harvey took us to and from the airport on time.


We had fun in the shade.
