Let’s turn on the jukebox, deposit 25¢, and groove to these great classics. Can you name the artists? Heartbreak (baseball game) Hotel One (run) is the Loneliest Number Same Old Song (loss) and Dance More Than a Feeling (of frustration) Careless Whisper OK, the last one has nothing to do with baseball. It was the first song Coach and the Mrs. ever danced to and since it was my quarter put in the jukebox, I thought I’d mention it. In case you haven’t figured it out, the 4 songs were all written by Team Achievements. We just cannot catch a break. Our 5th one run loss of the season. We were ahead late in 4 of the games. Yesterday’s game was no different. Our pitching was outstanding (actually perfect) for the first 4.2 innings. Things were looking good. A 2-0 lead. Through 4 and 2/3 innings we hadn’t allowed a baserunner and only a couple of balls in play. We were 4 outs away from victory. The meat of Team McVeigh had just been retired when the 4-8 hitters said we can do this on our own. 2 guys on, Smitty at the plate, 3rd base coach Egan gives Smitty the “I have some Halloween candy’ sign, and BAM - a triple over our CF’s head ties the score. A single 2 batters later closed the door on a tough 3-2 defeat. Sticks: Casey – single Ryan – single Riley – double Johnny – single Arms: Ryan – 3 innings, 0 runs, 8 K’s Riley – 2 innings, 3 runs (pitched better than it looks on paper) Leather: Johnny – nice play at SS Marcus – AWESOME catch in LF on a nice hit ball – GREAT JOB Marcus!! One great thing about playing Team McVeigh is that we had a 6:00 start time and I was able to get home in time to catch the 7:00 news! Keep your chins up, boys! You’re playing well!
