Well, it was a fantastic summer type
evening at Robert Burnaby Park. As I have been overseas during the last
month, I understand that weather conditions have been not very
favorable!! We came out of the gate with a good first inning, scoring
four runs that ended up being good enough for the win.......very
fortunate with a 2 run error to make things easier! The Monarchs did
battle back to get within one run but the Buzz put together a two run
eighth adding to the lead going into last bats for Richmond
Overall, it was an great TEAM effort to
give us the win with Dan J putting his HOT bat to good use. Peter L.
coming in to relieve Wardo, since Rod V. is AWOL........ and Tony M. has
lost his back-up catcher to keep him off the bump. I think we rolled 3
or four double plays to help our cause!
A few hilarious notes in the game was Dave Mac switching sides to
the left and coming up with a solid single up the middle after being
PLUNKED in the 2nd.......it was an offspeed pitch on the arm where we
thought we might have to call in the EMS but he seemed to think he could
switch to alleviate the major pain....???? Also, after chucking five
strong innings, Ward went out to center field and thought he had full
bleachers, cause as a deep fly ball came his way, he decided to wave
frantically to the ghostly fans. All kidding aside, I think the Buzz put
in a real strong effort!!
