Well PVC fans, it was a chilly April 4th morning that found eight diehards ready to swing the swizzle stick and usher in the new season.
Opening day featured the classic lineup of Mosser, Cebulash, Mackintosh, and Han Su vs. four other guys led by the virgin bat and hot balls of team leader Peter "CW" Berwald (country-western?). Things got off to a rocky start when Cebulash, hard-put after a winter of discontent, gave up 5 unearned runs to CW's fiesty four. The bottom of the second saw a rapid return to form for our beloved Oakwood squad and what looked like an insurmountable lead was soon overcome, due in part to a particularly poor showing by the shaky starter Tim "Boog" Baker.
It was blue skies as far as the eye could see when Kurt Mosser, usually a steady southpaw at the helm, loaded the bases and gave up an admittedly wind-assisted grand slam to the cocky Berwald (God help the poor fan who will suffer long and hard by the wind-assisted self aggrandizement sure to follow!).
Despite a heartfelt effort, our boys couldn't put humpty-dumpty back together again and therefore head into week two rattled but determined.
See you on the asphalt fans!
