Tale of Two Erics

This is a story of woe, 'tis true
The Tale of Eric One and Eric Two.

One is short and one is tall
One can play music, the other is tall.

They both play wiffle, and drove in runs
Eric One drove in two, Eric Two just one.

That were all of the runs scored today
despite eight wifflers come to play.

One of the Erics took the mound shirt-less
And retired the side on seven pitches (they were Kurt-less).

The other Eric made sparkling plays with the glove
And also showed some woodwind love.

Bob, Stats, our Eric, and Pete
Went down to ignominious one-run defeat

Whilst  Adrian, JD, their Eric, and Andy
Savored a victory, and rose a shandy.

That's our blog story: pitch by pitch.
Can you tell which Eric is which?

Bob, Matt, Eric, Pete - 1 run, 16 hits
Adrian, Andy, Eric, JD - 2 runs, 9 hits

HR: none

Fresh Blood

This week saw four rookies move up to The Show and make their OWAC debut at NBF in a rollicking 5-on-5er.  Welcome aboards to Chris Flynn, Mark Murdock, Matt Antrobius, and Chris "Ronnie James" Diodoardo.  

Saturday's titanic struggle had plenty of both O and D with basically everyone taking turns slapping hits and canning corn.  Special shout-out to Dewey who had been semi-sidelined after ankle surgery.  His sprinting snag to the left field line was not only the the day's best grab, but also officially takes him off the DL.  

The Vans struck early by extracting two-rarely allowed Mosserian runs via a parade of singles.  They struck again in the middle innings on an even rarer one-armed smash triple with 'em loaded to drive in three more and increase their advantage to five.  The Halens were resilient however, and showed their offensive prowess in the late innings by racking up eight which would prove sufficient to secure the come-from-behind victory.  

Adrian, Chris F, Dewey, Eric, JD  -  5 runs

Bob, Chris D, Kurt, Mark M, Peter  -  8 runs

HR  -  None

Faux Salamis = None, but multiple close calls!
