Dog Days of August - VICTORY!!!!!!!!!
FHSoftball beat Edelman 15-3 last night to remain undefeated on the season.
A barren waste land of scorpion-filled sand dunes and skeletons bleached by the sun lay in front of the FHSoftball team. We stepped bravely onto the field, sweat dripping from our brows as game time temperatures hovered near 105 degrees.
"If Edelman wants to rumble, we'll rumble," Coach Sullivan said as he warmed up his throwing arm.
The game got off to a slow start due to stifling heat and Coach Tara's jet-lagged, slurred pre-game speech.
FHSoftball's offense was lead by Tara's Special boys: Matt D. and Ryan H. both longtime members of the FHSHhhhhhh Office on the corner of J and Pennsylvania. Matt hit consistent singles and Ry-Ry had three HR bombs. Brandon Moore got temporary Special boy status after he hit a solo HR in the 6th.
FHSoftball's defense was led by Will's Super Special boys: Matt S., Jeremy S., and Silvio M. Matt was a like a spider-web on first base, Jeremy had an awesome double play and displayed his Jeter-esque arm on numerous occasions, and Silvio made a sliding “Hollywood” catch, ending an inning and not dirtying his socks one bit.
Other great plays were made by Bill Garber, Mark Story, Julie (Silvio's Friend), and Jen Kelly. Special thanks go to Karin Dillner who owned home plate last night.
Big hugs to Jessica Lass and The Guildness for driving, cheering and keeping score.
FH is playing in the finals next THURSDAY for the league championship. HOPE EVERYONE CAN COME AND CHEER!!!
GO FH!
