Rarely used bat; rarely used rule

Pete brought out the black bat this week. Since Kurt (who opposes use of the black bat) wasn't here, this would be an opportunity for everyone to move ahead of him on the stats as we knocked the crap out of the ball wielding the juiced lumber.

Kurt's wiffle twin, Eric Zamonski, is also a purist and eschewed the "Hammer of Thor" for the traditional yellow. His was the only batting average that went down today.*

Along the way there were two dingers, and Adrian put one on the roof**. Seven enhanced innings later, the home team came back late and managed to hold on for a 6-5 win.

Bob, Matt, Eric - 5 runs, 18 hits
Adrian, Andy, Peter - 6 runs, 13 hits

HR: Lindsay, Berwald

* Actually, Andy's BA went down, too, but I don't let facts interfere when the prose is flowing.
** Adrian put the ball on the roof BEHIND the batter, and was emphatically OUT.
