In the game itself, the Homers recent string of cakewalks ended. The game went back and forth until the Homers blew the game open in the fifth.
Propulsion Army 2 4 4 2 0 0 0 12 Homers 3 4 3 3 7 3 x 23The Homers had anexceptional turnout: Richard (SS/1B/OF/P), Scott (P/C), Jeff (C/1B/OF), Holly (3B/SS), Don (OF), Robb (1B/SS/OF/P), Dave (C/OF/2B), Amy (OF), Tim (OF/SS/1B), Ron (OF/P), Mary (2B/OF), Joe (Sue's boyfriend/who's Sue?/read on/OF), Phil (OF/C/2B), Sue (Amy's housemate/2B), and Evora (3B/1B). Although Amy, Sue, and Joe left for Dodger stadium after helping erase P.A.'s last lead, plenty of Homers remained to give Round Table its annual baptism: Mary, Robb, Don, Phil, Jeff, Ron, Richard, and Dave.
Offensively, everyone contributed, as shown by the Homers' scoring at least three runs in every inning. However, as tradition demands the naming of the game's three stars, they were:
Defensively, the Homers were shaky at times through the first half of the game. However, enough people made clutch plays to bail the team out. In the second inning after P.A. had scored four, Phil made a nice catch off a hard line drive to left, followed by Don making a charging, shoestring catch on a low line drive that hung. In the third, Tim and Jeff combined on a line- drive double play to turn the momentum again.
Our next game is Wednesday, July 19, against the Wild Turkeys on field H3. This field is also on the south end of the Rose Bowl field, next to the field we played on today. This is traditionally a pretty fun game.
