Mike “Bones” Bolinder and Tanner “Tecate” Horton Jones demonstrate for their Pew rivals what “Tree Sluggers” really do.
Pew’s Your Daddy snapped a three-game losing streak Thursday, just in time to prepare them for the post-season this weekend. The Daddies took out the MotherDuckers in a 15-8 victory in five innings, before the game was called for darkness and drunkenness.
The intense match-up featured Tanner “Tecate” Horton Jones striking out swinging after whiffing three times, prompting old pro Mike “Bones” Bolinder to take him to the woodshed… or at least the forest. Catcher “Battle” Kat Zambon redeemed electionline with superior fielding behind the plate, catching a rocket from the outfield launched by Nick “The Stick” Wiseman. Zambon’s quick reaction stunned the Quack Attack, especially the runner three feet from home. The utter shock of getting tagged in front of home nearly landed the Web-footed Wonder in an ambulance.
PAULINE’S GOLD STARS AND SCHWAG
MVP: IVAN SCIUPAC, for being a sad sack loser who I’m only naming MVP because I feel sorry for him. Well, he also got a double and a triple (the last of which he tried to turn into a home run, though he was tagged on his way to the plate thanks to a mighty throw from the field. But that was only after he batted two Daddies in first).
BONES BOLINDER: for a home run and 2 RBIs
ALEC TYSON: for his single and home run (which ties him for most home runs this season)
These three guys went 2-for-2 and each got a double and at least one RBI: JEFFREY LEHMAN, RICHARD AUXIER and DAVID BECKER (who actually batted in three people).
AARON SMITH, who with a single and RBI didn’t exactly light up this game, but two weeks ago against Affairs Not Relations he played way better than Bones and Becker and I mentioned them but not him. So I’m making up for it now. You rock, Aaron.
Play of the Game: With the Daddies up only 7-4 in the bottom of the third, the Motherduckers were at bat with bases loaded and no outs. It wasn’t looking good. Their batter hit a fly to deep left, which STICK WISEMAN caught for the first out. The runner on third then took off, but Nick launched a superhuman throw to catcher KAT ZAMBON, who managed to grab the ball and tag the Motherducker a few feet shy of home. Since the next guy popped out, Nick and Kat’s heroics got us out of a tight spot that inning.
