Bar Flies Set The Bar Too High. Bar flies 22 - Zoombies 14

The weather was against us. Massive rains for much of the day almost cancelled the game, but abated in time for the epic encounter with the bar flies. Field conditions were hot and wet, and as the game sheet noted, the weather was "Daveless".

The bar flies were short women, and Zoombies were due for a loyalty test, so with the bait juicily laid "any women want to play for the bar flies", the traitor among us was revealed..... Camille! Now we know who not to trust with our pseudo-random lineup generator.

The Zoombies came out slowly and the bats were ineffective. The Bar Flies knowing they had a difficult game against the undefeated Zoombies came out swinging, hitting a lot of long fly balls many into the wood for doubles and triples which the Zoombies helplessly watched. In the middle of the fifth the Zoombies realized how dire of straights we were in, down 13-3, and started what could have been the biggest comeback in Zoombie history. Scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the fifth, and then applying the mercy rule of 7 runs in the 6th the game was in sight! However the bar flies could not let the free pitcher slip away and scoring 6 in the 7th and shutting down the zoombie bats. 22-14 final.

Special thanks to Justine for finally making it out and popping some huge hits. Colin brought the authentic baseball experience with chewing tobacco. And Camille sacrificed her Zoombie experience to the game could go on.

Highlights:

• Gerardo sacrificing his body, assisting with his mouth to make an out at first. He's gonna like he had a bar fight with the bar flies.

• Marc with an epic save coming from centre field to right, and making the out while Cynthia screamed "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"

• Brent had a perfect night at the plate going 3 for 3 with some big hits

• Cynthia "visualizing" her at bats lead to huge power hits.

Pierre McGuire's Monster:

• TERI EMRICH! In our 6th inning rally Aaron hit a ball to short top and was racing to first, Teri screamed at the top of her lungs RRRRUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!! This resulted in Aaron beating the ball to first and several zoombies needing a change of underwear.

Look for a big rebound next game.

No mind games here. Psychology 5 - Zoombies 12

After receiving a large number of "can't make it to the game" emails, team captain taco was not sure we would gather enough players for a full team. Fortunately, a few players made the extra effort (including driving for 6 hours whilst being hungover, and hopping on the O-train after some afternoon beers) to make it to the game. We had a couple of first-times as well (Gerardo and Brent) who didn't disappoint.

The Zoombies played fearlessly inning after inning doing what they do best: intimidating and crushing the opposing team's hopes for victory. The Zoombies were up early in the game and kept the lead for the rest of the game. As usual, our final score was in the double digits for our 4th win in 4 games. If my math serves me right, that's a 100% winning record for us thus far.

Game Highlights:

*Mark stepping up his defense in center field with a couple of awesome catches, amazing throw-ins which no doubt prevented bad stuff from happening, and pro-level base running which helped get us a few extra runs. Well done dude.

*Roz had some great stops at short stop and covered a bit of third base as well. No errors, nailed the throws to first consistently. But honestly, nobody expected less from our top ringer.

*Shauna showed 500% improvement over passed games, with HUGE hits and like 25 RBIs. She also got a guy out at second. No big deal.

Thanks to Daniel for helping us out since we were short a few players.

Next game is on Thursday June 24th vs Barflies. Stay tuned.

Legal studies, lawyered.

Legal studies showed up with only 5 players, but fortunately team Biology was practicing on the field before the game. Bio lent Legal studies a few players and the game was on. As usual for the Zoombies, phenomenal hitting, extra bases, and good defense put us ahead early on in the game. Final score was 17-4 for our third win in three games.

Game highlights:

-The ladies represented this game. 50% of our team was female this time and 100% of the girls played awesomely. Props to Cynth for her biggest hit yet and Andrea for finally hitting her stride with 2 singles and a double.

-Solid hitting by Derek who batted 1000 this game.

Game MVP: Aaron for batting the cycle (a first time ever zoombie cycle no less)

We have a couple of weeks off, with our next game taking place on June 18th vs. Psychology. They call themselves the Mad Batters and while I haven't thought of a joke for this yet, believe me, I will.
