Rain, Cold, and Wind - Slo-Pitch time

Tuesday, May 11, Visitors vs W-K
Seven of us from First Mennonite huddled under umbrellas with eight from W-K last night, just before 9 pm. Despite the wind, light rain, and cool air, we ended up playing a five-inning game. Most of us got home in time for the second period of the Canucks game.
With only seven in the batting order, and needing to play catcher for W-K, we had plenty of at-bats. In the second inning, we all got to bat and some of us twice. We scored seven runs, including Steven M's inside-the-park home run. There is a reason he won the "Jackrabbit Award" in 2008. The top of the fifth saw Mark P launch a home run well over the left-field fence. In all, we acheived a moral victory, scoring (at least) 11 runs in just five innings. W-K, aided by some long home runs of their own, scored more than 11. (With only seven to hit, run bases, catch, and umpire, we didn't have anyone keeping score.)
Next week we play Wednesday, May 19, 7 pm on Diamond 'A', home vs Westheight Brethren in Christ. At this point, I am expecting Cal J, myself, and Mark P (who has the equipment bag, so he had better come!) Hopefully Venezuelan import Dani will join us, too. (Pray right now for his family, who are having their refugee hearing today.) I know that Peter J, Cam J, and Mark DH will not be able to play next week. Please reply if you can come (or not) - the earlier the better.

Fees: The league fees have stayed the same, so our team fees will, too. $50 for a full season (10 games or more plus playoffs), $35 for a half season (6-9 games plus playoffs) or $5 per game. If you don't yet have a yellow t-shirt, those are only $10. Cheques can be made out to Scott A. Please pay in May. Thanks to those who paid last night.
Let's hope for better weather next week!
