Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 5 Summary

Dirty Pirate Hookers: Game 5

Team Fred: 11
DPH: 18

6/13/09, Saturday, 4:00 PM @ Bishop Maginn

The Dirty Pirate Hookers sink Team Fred 18-11 to plunder more loot.

For the second time this season, the Pirates made prodigious use of their belaying pins to club their foe. The timing was perfect since pitcher John C and the defense found it difficult to keep Team Fred off the bases. But, the Pirates were never in trouble and exploited a big 8 run 2nd to maintain a comfortable lead throughout the game--and effectively matched any runs put up by Fred in the innings afterward.

The Hookers failed to score only in the 3rd, but Fred took advantage of the lull by adding 3 in the 4th to stay in the game. The Pirates recouped most of the runs in the bottom half of the inning to keep the game tantalizingly out of Fred's reach.

With the exception of some stellar play at short by Hooker Tahnee H, the real story of the day was the Pirate's offense. Every Pirate was on base at least twice with three reaches more common. This created continuity throughout the lineup and allowed the Hookers to post crooked numbers in every inning except one. Other than a home run by Scott J, three doubles by Garry S, and a triple by John C, the Hookers decried slugging and reached base with an alacrity that advanced the steady stream of offense. Especially symbolic of this on base proclivity was Christina C who exercised the patience of a saint and exuded team think by drawing three walks...and scoring three times. Only two plate appearances resulted in multiple RBI--a 3 RBI HR by Scott J in the 2nd, and a well placed 2 RBI single by Mike F in the 2nd.

DPH Captain

An observant DPPI reporter noticed a subtle "C" on Christina C's team shirt. Upon inquiry, it was revealed that Christina was named DPH's first team captain. "We've had many players...a few really good players course through the roster..." said Manager John C, "...but Christina is a constant and the first to deserve the title Captain. She is the ultimate Hooker--a great teammate and a hell of a player. I'm proud to be her teammate..."

There was no ceremony as pomp and circumstance does not suit Christina. This, of course, is in keeping with her attitude of team first play. When asked about her new title, Christina was typically unassuming and appreciative "It was very unexpected..." she said while admitting she told the manager "Cool! Thanks!"
