Softball Week in Review: Week 5; May 20 - May 26
May 20, Sunday
John
C and Deryl B mustered the troops for another scintillating Pirates
plunderin'. Like Milton Berle, they took out just enough to defeat an
overmatched Bobby T's 6-0 on a beautiful late and lazy Sunday
afternoon. Deryl B, after tweaking his mechanics with his crusty
pitching coach, hurled a slow pitch beauty. "My goto pitch had movement
that it lacked all season. I felt good out there..." exclaimed Deryl B
while proving one is never too old to learn. Pete G, Dustin T, and Kim
W swarmed in the OF and snared fly balls like loot from the heavens.
John C--who had a good view of the action from RF--zipped a throw to 3B
early on to freeze would be runs thus paving the way for a shut-out.
The Pirates never had a sustained rally, but on a day when one run
would suffice, Pete G and Dustin T provided more than enough support
with a pair of 2 run blasts. The Pirates take Memorial weekend off and
resume their siege on the league with a June 3 double banger.
May 21, Monday
EYS was washed out.
Anarchy earned a rain soaked victory over American Legion: 12-6.
May 22, Tuesday
Rain
fell, the league waved the red flag and Toyota stayed in the pits. The
crew prepares for the first ever Toyota Cup next Tuesday, May 29.
May 24, Thursday
Colonie
Beverage was looting the woeful Dirty Pirates until rain mercifully
washed the Pirates' crimes away. Colonie Beverage Diablos were leading
5 - 2 in the bottom of the 4th. The bottom of the inning just started;
there was no count, no outs, no runs, and no base runners. The umpire
reported an incorrect game state--an issue that needs to be resolved
with the league.
