Pitchers' Duel

So you think two perfect games in one baseball season is historic?  How about an eight-inning 1-0 shutout on the Whiffle diamond?

Who could have known that as Dave Eldridge (R-OH) tripled in a run of Stats in the top of the first, that THAT would be it for the day?  Forty-five more outs were recorded over the remaining morning, THIRTY by strikeout. 

There were two separate bases loaded threats faced by Glen, in the fourth and the eighth.  In a moment that told the story for the home five, Eric the Bandit, at the plate with runners at second and third, none out, took a call on his cell in the batters box.  Glen, on the rubber politely demurred when Eric insisted it was an important call.  This encounter would end in The Artist's favor - a swinging K.  This jam, and the one in the eighth ended the same way with the Commish valiantly going down swinging.

Kim, Hansoo, Dave, Glen - 1
Ben, Eric, Kurt, Matt, Peter - 0

C'mon, people: HYDRATE!!

Dave Eldridge certainly was the player of the day:
