Away Game

Banished from Nance Bradds by a dozen or so parked cars, four intrepid Thursday Night wifflers, went to Kettering in search of open ground. Hastily drawn lines generous to the hitter were sketched, and a very large strike zone was chalked on the wall and we were underway.

In the hitter-friendly confines of Roush Field, the lonely outfielder has a lot of ground to cover:

And the balls were flying in this place.

With the game scoreless entering the second inning, da Commish took the mound and made some history. Bad history. Not Dresden bad, not 20 runs bad, but noteworthy, for sure.

To this day in this season no game had featured more than 3 home runs, total.  Today, Kurt Mosser hit three home runs - in an inning. To date, obviously, no pitcher had ever surrendered three home runs to the same batter in one game. That unfortunate record now falls on Peter.

And Prof. Mosser went on to hit a fourth dinger, which is the most ever in a single game. So there is really only one way to respond:

Yes, the books must be balanced.

Matt, Kurt - 9

Glen, Peter - 5

W: Mosser
