Hitting the Slo-Pitch Ball Hard

Last night's game is one that most of us would have liked to see rained out - not because we didn't play well, just because we need the rain.  In fact, mid-way through the game we could see the rain falling to the north of us.
  Getting back to the subject line, we did hit the ball very hard last night.  Devin skied one to deep centre field, which unfortunately was caught by the fielder above his head with his back against the fence.  Mark P, Kevin, and Scott also flashed warning track power.  Beyond that, though, we had some well hit line drives from almost everyone in the order.  Some of them were caught, but others powered their way through the infield or dropped in the outfield for hits.  Brian M showed some good agressive running, stretching a single into a double on one of his drives.  In the end, we scored 19 runs, marking a season high.  It is also the third straight week that we have been in double digits.  WMB had 34, including 5+ over-the-fence home runs.
