Just in case our aching shoulders and decrepit mobility wasn't enough to remind us all that we're not getting any younger, today the Great Eight who appeared were reminded of what ACTUAL youth and vigor looks like as Dewey's grandson Monroe marked his OWAC debut. And acquitted himself quite nicely both ways, notching some hits for his team and some pretty decent put-outs too.
As for the game itself, it was decidedly *not* a pitcher's duel, with both teams combining for 56 hits, longballs aplenty, and the reek of salami in the air. Mark won the John Daly Longdrive trophy for an absolutely towering smash down the left field line that was likely the farthest-hit ball this season. Dewey was the all-around gitter-doner champ tho with two homers and ELEVEN of his teams 20 ribeyes. Their teammate Jeff was no slouch neither, going 10-for-15 with a ton of them being Jose Iglesias-style 2-strike heartbreakers.
As for yours truly's Hapless Halens, we actually had more hits than the Victorious Vans, as well as two homers of our own. But what really told the tale was the triples: they had 4, we had none. Plus they had two auto-triples in a row that hit the downspout in more or less precisely the same spot which clearly implies some sort of Divine Intervention. Wuddya gonna do---they giveth, and they taketh away.
