Game 3 - The last game of the night featured the "Sauer RV Storage Lakers against the "Garage Pub Fog". The Lakers were coming off a soggy victory over the Coffee Clan the night before while the FOG had lost a one run heart breaker to the Redi Rockies. Tonight's tilt was an entertaining affair for the 7+ fans that braved the frigid plus 10 temperatures when the first pitch was thrown.
The Lakers jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a triple by Darren Heinze and a sac fly RBI by Darrell "Black Eye" Maser who also had a 3 for 4 evening at the plate. The FOG responded quickly in the bottom of 1 after a double by Coach Buss. Unfortunately for the FOG (Forgetful Old Guys), that would be as close as they would get all night. The Lakers scored 4 more in the 2nd paced by a double by "Jeter Scherger" who not only went 4 for 4 but made his usual highlight reel plays at short to knock the SUDS right out of the Pubs Boys.
The Foggers responded with 3 in the 3rd due to some clutch hitting from Dan Hein who was 2 for 3 and Coach Stroh who was also 2 for 3 with 2 doubles. It just wasn't enough though as the Lakers scored every inning with big nights coming from "Crazy Legs Kleckner" who was 3 for 3 and Walter "I can see clearly now in right field" Pratt who had a big night as well at the dish with 3 hits.
On the mound Wilf "I'll bend but I'll never break" Broesky worked himself out of a few jams to grab the win. Lefty Dulle took the loss on this frigid night at Lorne Holden.
After the frost had settled and the grill was shut down the final was Lakers 15 the Pub Crew 9.
Thanks to the Mavs who seemed to thrive without their gloves and bats to cook some great burgers and make all the right calls on the field. And of course thanks to "Harry Caray Biko" and his sidekicks up in the press box for the great coverage.

Game 2 - On a beautiful night at LHF where the aroma of burgers and onions filled the air which attracted Many fans, players and later on the rain.
The Station Coffee Longshots took a 2 to 0 lead after their first at bat. The Sauer RV Storage Lakers scored 3 runs of their own in the bottom of the first inning to take the lead.
For the rest of the shortened game (5 innings) the Sauer RV Storage Lakers closed the doors and allowed no more room for storage or runs. Final score was 12 to 2 for the Sauer RV Storage Lakers. The moral of this story was that the Station Coffee Longshots took too long of a coffee break and started hitting K cups right at the Laker fielders while the Sauer RV Storage Lakers were hitting K cups between the Station Coffee Longshot fielders.
Highlights for the Station Coffee Longshots were; Gregg Martin going 2 for 2 and Wayne road runner Miller making a great catch with his 55 year old legs on line drive hit up the middle that would have scored 2 runs.
Highlights for the Sauer RV Storage Lakers were; Darren Heinz & Bam Bam Koch hit 2 hard line drives that knocked the sun out of the sky for the rest of the game, Gerard Rawley Fingers Hittel pitched a gem, Clint Kleckner & Barry Koch went 3/3, and Walter Pratt, Lutz Perschon, Wilf Bbroesky & Brian Christman went 2 for 2.
Thanks to the Umps, Cooks and score keepers for their excellent work and for not taking any coffee breaks.
