OTTAWA-It was going to be a tough game as the fun bunch were playing their nemesis the Athletics. Sure as shootin’, their dugout sported a plethora of new faces, conscripted to bolster their already strong lineup as they started the game.

With nary an out, the Athletics “mercied” the fun bunch on five runs in the first inning. A harbinger of things to come and not the way Steve “field marshal” Saunders intended the game to start. However, the plucky fun bunch dug deep and with two outs and meghan “marathon” saunders, Kathie “daredevil” Adare, and Glen “the wrangler” Rankin aboard, “field marshal” –numbed by a fistful of robaxacet—turned back the cruel hands of time and drilled the first pitch over the fence for a grand slam to narrow the gap to 5-4.

The teams battled , with the athletics always maintaining the lead including a five run exchange both ways in the fourth inning on hits by everyone on the fun bunch team.

With the score 18-13 going into the final inning, the fun bunch had run out of gas. Also victimized by the pouring rain, they could manage only a lead off single by “the roadrunner” as the next three batters all flied out.
