My Dog Ate the Stats Sheet

I spent as much time writing this blog as my team spent with a lead.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Thirteen people showed up to play wiffle today. Then this happened..

Salami

The rest of the morning was this...

Adrian, JD, Mark, Matt, Zach, Eric, Jeff - 0 runs, 8 hits

Andy, Hansoo, Peter, Tim, Dewey, Tony - 13 runs, 22 hits

HR: Andy, Hansoo, Peter, Dewey

Redemption is a 34-1/2 Course Meal

2019 Season Opener is a Barn-burner!

Cycles were threatened, balls were cracked, and ethics sorely challenged as an elite eight took to the balmy blacktops of NBF this morning for a game that, while not setting any fielding records, nevertheless saw terrific stuff at both ends of the battery.  The Vans pounced early and often, led by Sir Bob-of-the-hot-bat who would chalk four ribbies on the day.  But just when things looked insurmountably nonethical, the Hungry Halens came roaring back in a J. D. "The Run Ruling Redeemer"-induced megacomeback for the ages.  Both teams would add a few more in late innings, but at the end of Today's Titanic Struggle™ the home team would remain the only one in double digits to take home the honors.

Considering how good the pitching is getting in this league---today especially from Tim "Clemens squared"---it's therefore noteworthy that all eight players chalked at least one RBI.  We'd have to ask Stats, but this author is guessing that that's probably a pretty rare achievement.  So a collective congrats on that.

Adrian, Andy, Bob, Tim  -  9 runs, 20 hits

Hansoo, J. D., Matt, Eric*  -  12 runs, 19 hits  

HR  -  nobody

RBI  -  everybody  

* placed at the end of the batting order for all the usual reasons
