A happy Slo-Pitch birthday to Cal

Tuesday, June 9 vs Bloomingdale
I guess the BBQ didn't materialize, but Judy brought cookies to help us all celebrate Cal's 55th birthday last night. It's good we have Dave Frey starting to pitch, because Cal probably only has 15-20 more years in his arm.
I don't have the scorebook with me (it's in the equipment bag in case I can't make it next week), but we had some good defensive innings, holding them to one or two runs a number of times in the game, both with Dave and Cal pitching. We had one double play from the "that's how we wrote up the play" category: Sal went for a pop-up and deflected it to Scott with his glove, fooling the runner at third into breaking for home. A throw to Mark D-H at third and the runner was caught not tagging up.
Hitting was better than the scoresheet might show. We loaded the bases at least twice, once cashing in two runners. I forget who the batter was - sorry for the lack of recognition.
Next week we play Tuesday, June 16, 7 pm on Diamond 'B', visitors against Waterloo North. I am expecting: Cam, Cal, Sal, Mark D-H, Steve M, Mark P, Nathan M, Dave F, Mackenzie F, Tracy, likely me. Please let me know if there are changes.
T-Shirts: We agreed to yellow t-shirts with the slogan "The Last Shall Be FIRST" in black letters.
Facebook: I am getting into 2006 already, and have a Facebook page, with a group called First Menno Slo-Pitch. Search for me or that, or try this link:

Gotta run - going to the hospital tonight.
