Tues May 5:
Game 1 - On a cool evening at the park, the fans were chilly, the players were still in early season condition, and the bats were mostly pretty cold in this 40 minute game. Stewart Optical outhit the Mavericks 7-6 and out scored them 4-1 in a game that saw some very good defense that kept the runs to a minimum. Byron Witkowski was the only player on either team to get more than one hit with a double and a two run home run. Rob Price pitched a strong game for the Eye Guys while Dan Hamilton almost matched his performance for the Mavericks. Both guys threw strikes and let their defense do their job and aside from the one big hit it was a defensive clinic. The Mavericks were missing a lot of players so thanks to the subs for filling in and making it a close game. Thanks to Boyd and Lance for umping and to the Red Sox for also looking after the kitchen duty. Great job guys!

Game 3 - Opening day report: Both teams successfully confirmed that winter is not a recommended training program. First game of the season summary:10% softball, 40% laughing, 50% trying to remember where to throw or catch the ball. A few players discovered muscles they haven’t used since last season. Defensive strategy tonight seemed to be: “hit it somewhere else.” A big Shoutout to the outfielders for getting their steps in. The game proved that softball skills don’t disappear… they just take the winter off. The Sauer RV Storage Lakers won the game 9-3, but they also won the award for “most dramatic recoveries after stumbling. (3 times)” Wilf the acrobat said he will stretch it out at home. The only thing looser then the defence was everyone’s preseason stretching routine. For the Station Coffee Longshots; Cal Mayer went 3/3 with 1 RBI, Rich Bergen went 3/3 and Wayne Miller went 2/3 with 1 RBI. For the Lakers; Greg warmup Balas went 3/3, Mike switch-hitter Stroh 2/3 with 2 RBI’s, Gerard close Shave Hittel 2/3 with 2 RBI’s, Mike Retired Shantz, Walter the peanut guy Pratt, Pierre Shin-pad Cote and Wilf Hammy, stumble Broesky all going 2/3, while Trevor Wheels Fauth went 2/4 with 2 RBI’s. To be fair the ball was moving very fast…at least compared to everyone else. Thanks to the Red Sox for supplying great umps and concession workers and also to the announcer and scorekeeper. Build it and they will come.
