Friday night in what might be viewed as the last nail in the coffin for the BallBusters 08 season the BallBusters lost to McRoberts in the last inning of a game shortened by dark by a score of 8-7. The BallBusters played there hearts out and left it all on the field and still came up short. The bats came alive Nick "The Franchise" Catalano and Scott "The Babe" Book seemed to awaken form there early season hitting slumber, though in the field the Franchise left some question and speculation as to whether Evan "The Truth " Price should be out there instead. Oliver Mays was 2 -3 after be calling out on strikes and nearly thrown from the game, and Tara "I Have Arrived" Horowitz went 3-3 with three line drive singles, Jimmy "The Kid" Sammarco had both his bat and glove primed and was back to old form. Allan"The Ageless Wonder" Ageman showed why he still belongs on the mound with his strongest performance of the young season. The story of the game however, Evan "The Truth" Price forced into duty once again as DH handled the bat like a true champion with three RBI'S, but then his luck changed. With the BallBusters up 7-5 in the top of the fifth and last inning, The Truth was called out for taking a lead at first base, at the time his run didn't seem important, but that would change in the bottom of the inning. Matt "Don't call me Matty" Rundle asked out of the field for his inability to see in the dark, and The Truth trotted out to RF with trouble on his mind from the inning before. One quick out and 2 base hits later. First and second and 1 out, BallBusters up by 3, and then it happened, a lazy fly ball to right field, Evan"The Truth" Price, COME ON DOWN, he confidently got under it the ball landed in his glove to cheers, until out it fell and the hit parade began. The next batter was out and would have ended the game, and then McRoberts got the big two out hit they were waiting for, burying the BallBusters hopes, and likely there playoff chances. Big game this week at Randall's Island, if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.
Notes and Quotes
Player manager Ali McGlincy was conspicuously absent from the field and dugout, further fueling speculation she was released from her contract, though no official announcement has been made by the team or team management. Once again patrolling the sidelines in his suit was The "J" Train Jeff McLaughlin looking very managerial and inspiring the BallBusters the way McGlincy of old used to with her cussing and spitfire ways. More news once it is available.
