BallBusters 11 - Macy's Home Store 4
BallBusters Make it Two in a Row with Relative Ease
Wed night in what was probably their most well rounded performance of the season, your Bachrach BallBusters made it two in a row with a big win over Macy's by the score of 11-4. The early morning news was bleak, with Player Manager Ali "Trash Mouth" McGlincy receiving news that after a long happy life, and a vibrant battle against illness, her beloved dog Sebastian finally had succumbed to death. Ali responded by pitching seven solid innings and leading the BallBusters to victory. They were solid on defense and at the plate and everyone contributed. Newly minted third baseman Allan "The Ageless Wonder" Ageman had a rough go early in the field, taking some time to adjust to his new role, but by the end of the game he looked like the very very old pro that he is and was making plays with ease. Nick "The Franchise" Catalano took the opportunity to flash a little leather of his own with a key putout in the field, and Alex "Let's get a drink after the game" Roth appeared to be injured scoring one of her two runs of the game yet still had the courage to continue playing. As for the rest of the squad, they really have gotten up to speed making the Buster's a force to be reckoned with.
There were two men however who stole the show, Scott "The Babe" Book showed his flashes of brilliance last week were not an aberration going 4-4 at the plate with 6 RBI's, and Jimmy "The Kid" Sammarco, when he wasn't smashing base hits, made some of the prettiest plays in the field, capped by his diving stab and put out at third in the bottom of the ninth. All in all a classic performance from a team that seems to have there stuff together and poised to make a run at the playoffs this year. Next game is Thursday at Randall's Island against The Fighting Gators, a team the Busters defeated last year but went on to the league finals. Come out and support your team, and if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.
Notes and Quotes
Richard "The Boss" Bachrach was conspicuous by his absence, rumors at the field were that he had a prior engagement with the press that he couldn't re-schedule, the family was represented by Evan "Hank" Bachrach, who seemed please by the performance. Alex "Let's Get a Drink After the game" Roth was seen in short shorts at a bar after the game, with a Cosmo in one hand, and using the other to secure a bag of ice over her quad, Oliver Mays seemed disappointed. Evan "The Truth" Price started at DH for the 4th time in five games, showing that perseverance does payoff. Jeff "The M Train" McLaughlin was absent for the second straight week, fueling speculation that manager McGlincy's role as manager might be safe after all. Superfan Bekah "The Grim Reaper" Greenbaum has been banned from attending any future BallBuster games for an undisclosed violation, intriguing indeed.
