Seven Up at Slo-Pitch

Seven of us made it to the first league game of the season on Wednesday night. With a little help from the opposing W-K for our defense, we played a full game, with lots of at-bats for each of us. I was last in the order and I think that I got 5 at-bats, which is nice early in the season. Coincidentally, we scored 5 runs on the night, the same number of over-the-fence home runs W-K legally hit. The wind must have been right, or something, because they hit some really long bombs – some fair, some foul. Although we had no home runs, we did have some good hits scattered around. Our newest player, Angie, showed off her textbook batting swing and got on base twice. The rest of us contributed at various times, too.
Next week we play Wednesday, May 18, 7 pm on Diamond ‘B’ vs Waterloo MB (1). Please let me know if you can make it. I am expecting Mark P, Steve M, Angie G, and hopefully Peter J and Cal J. I am on the DL this week with dental surgery, Cam likely has a meeting, and Mark D-H has conflicts until early June. If you have thought about coming out, this would be a good week to come. Feel free to bring friends, either for the whole season or just a game at a time.

Stirling and Rain at the Slo-Pitch Exhibition

This past Tuesday six of us and six Stirling folks met at a cool and damp diamond. It didn’t actually rain much as we played a version of scrub, taking various field positions and all getting some batting practice. Not exactly intense, but since it was only an exhibition game, and many of us haven’t thrown much or at all since last fall, it was a good warm-up for the season.
Next week we play Wed, May 11, 7 pm. 'A' V @ W-K. Please let me know if you can play. Please also invite friends who might like to play with us. Also, let me know how much you expect to play this season.
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 Albrecht. Please pay in May.
Hope to see you on the diamond.
