Game 5 Results

legggggggggsssssssss.... err I mean brainnnssss... wait, do I ? This evenings game was one for the books. Physics showed up with only 8 players so we assisted them by providing a back-catcher. Only two innings into the game, with one out, an in-field ball was driven making a split second play at first base. The runner made a grave mistake (mmm brainss) by stopping short of the bag (note: always run through the bag) when he realized he was out. In the process, his leg twisted and snapped - resulting in a broken leg. Unknown to us at the time we may have under-estimated the situation, however we stopped play. The ambulance was called immediately and he was taken off the field on a stretcher.

Afterward, the physics team showed great strength in wanting to continue the game so we swapped in some players for their defense. As our captain (courageously and bluntly) stated, we won via forfeit and the free pitcher of beer was ours.

The TSN turning point of the game would have to be given to our unknown physics player who was carried off in the stretcher (refer to photo; credit: David). After which, the physics team could not officially continue... so I'm really stating the obvious here. Other honorable mentions go to the entire team, for staying safe.

We welcome a new Zoombie today - Aaaron LeFort.

Game 5

It's absolutely beautiful out and the Zoombies are ready for their next big win. The opposing team is the legendary Physics dept. Fortunately, the Zoombies prefer smarter brains...

We've got a strong batting order tonight with Mike leading us off. We've also got a solid outfield led by Ian in CF and a quick infield, so let's do this.

Game 4 result

The forecast called for rain... After a strong start, the Zoombies fell an 8-6 loss to Culture Club. With a record of 2-2 we look forward to next weeks game against Physics on Thursday.

Time for this weeks honour roll...
- Mike on SS pulled double duty and made a left field catch.
- Marc collected his first HR of the season in the first inning... Rolling in Justine and Mike.

On a side note, one player pointed out that our captain was not present.

A little credit where credit is due. Dave's friend Felipe Aranzeta created our new logo for us. A big thanks to Filipe (though I still think my logo was awesome...)!

Game 3 Results

WOW - thats what comes to mind when looking back at this one. After going down by 10 runs in the first two innings the Zoombies rallied back to tie the game at the bottom of the 7th - giving up only a single run for the rest of the game! With one out, and Gen on first with Brandon on 3rd the win was in sight. Gerardo lines a drive to right just breaking the infield defense, winning the game!!!

Now on for this weeks honour roll...
- TSN turning point of the game: Cynth on third making an unbelievable line drive catch for a third out in the third inning.
- Gen making a clutch offensive hit advancing the winning run into scoring position.
- Team mention... everyone dug deep and played hard when it counted - props to first showings to Nick and Justine for some solid play.

Another wet game, starting to feel like our edge. Next game Monday against culture club.

Game 2 result

These Zoombies are not afraid of a little water. An astounding performance gave us our first win of the season, putting the hurt on team English with a 15-3 win. Rain caused a call of the game on the bottom of the 6th.

Hard to narrow down the honorable mentions this time around as everyone played awesome, but here we go:
- Cynthia brought the guns resulting in Dusan rounding the bases at each bat - with a particularly stunning double
- Marc, the golden glove on rover had the TSN turning point of the game. A clutch line drive saved a possible 3 run disaster.
- Infield play overall was fantastic - not a single over throw... Big ups to Brandon on first and our top notch throwers.

Next game on Tuesday against NPSIA team 2.

Game 2 tonight

We have our second game tonight against English. See you all on the field a bit before the game starts at 6pm. I'm happy to say we have a full team for tonight so let's go out there and get our first big win of the season.
