     Game 2 - The Sauer RV Storage finally found a way to finish a game without needing grief counselling afterward, hanging on for an 18-13 victory over the Recyclers in a game that featured more hits (26 per team) than a classic rock station. The Lakers came into the game carrying the emotional baggage of blowing their last three games in the final inning after holding the lead. Just when the the Sauer RV Storage Lakers thought they were going to send the Redi team to the Recyclers; the Recyclers had other ideas. The Recyclers refused to go quietly, turning what looked like a comfortable Lakers win into a full-blown senior softball suspense thriller. The comeback included bloop hits, seeing-eye grounders, and at least two balls that moved slower than the speed limit in a school zone but still somehow found grass.
To the Lakers’ credit, they finally slammed the door shut before the game turned into another episode of “As the Inning Turns.” Rumor has it the team is considering hiring a sports psychologist specifically for their last innings. For the Redi Recycle Rockies, Larry quick draw Lutz went 4/4, while Royce Rocketman Hopkins, Barry Bam Bam Koch, Keith Raw Hide Kleckner, Keith smooth as silk Bender, Bruce almighty Stuber, Kevin Bossman Friesen and Rod put me in coach Brusky all went 3/4.
For the The Sauer RV Storage Lakers; Mike hot hands Shantz, Mike Blade Stroh went 4/4, Pierre always talking Cote 3/3 and Trevor white shoes Fauth, Gerard here we go again Hittel went 3/4. Almost forgot Phil the Thrill Marleau went 2/3, at least that’s what he said.
Thanks to Logos who supplied the umping, cooks and to the announcer, score keeper and the great fans.

May 18:
     Game 1 - After a 3 game slide, the Garage Pub team got back on track with a 14-6 win over the Red Sox. Solid defense and timely hitting by the Fog sealed the deal on the Monday night opener. Dallas Deman and Dieter Stanke were 3-3, whilst Bill Chapman, Grant Mackay, Rod Aman, Ron Jarvis, Sherwin Lehman, and Russ Chapman were 2-2, and Mike Sills chipped in a homerun. Solid defensive efforts by Cameron and Jarvis were key to the win. When he wasn't hitting the net, Bill Chapman had a solid outing at pitcher.

Red Sox were also strong defensively, but the Fog guys managed to hit green a few times more on the night. Brian Stauth took the loss for the Sox, but battled after some early walks.
