HERE WE GO AGAIN
Fun bunch win their second of the tournament to keep their hopes alive
OTTAWA- The fun bunch were back in fine form as they made quick work of the rebels to even their tournament record at 2-2. The women made a lineup change moving kathie "daredevil" adare to leadoff spot in order to give leah "roadrunner" morrel a chance to catch her breath between batting and pinch running assignments. The move paid off brilliantly as "daredevil" rose to the challenge to go 4-for-5 and score 3 runs as did chantal "rum runner" bujold. After a wild team party the night before at steve "field marshal" saunders' house, a few of the fun bunch players were looking a little green around the gills to start the game. Typically quiet glen "the wrangler" rankin, was in full on party mode, singing, dancing, standing on coolers and other all-round-good-natured fun. undeterred when "field marshal" kicked him out in the wee hours of the morning, he commenced an impromptu pub crawl in westboro. Waking up early this morning on the open air patio of the clocktower, he hastily made a bee-line for the nearest tim horton's and arrived to the game with two extra large double-double's--one in each hand and proceeded to chug them back burning his tongue and throat in the process. Seemingly, none the worse for wear, he had a solid game scoring two runs. The story of the game however was the inability of the fun bunch to cash in the plethora of runners they left on base. With the bases loaded three times, they ended the inning--unable to hit a single to score a couple of runs. That lack of clutch hitting was not an issue in this game but could come back to haunt them should they make one of the finals, where every run is critical. With the game seemingly out of hand, the rebels huddled in their dugout and quickly invoked "plan B", as evidenced by the large plume of acrid, gray smoke that began emanating from their bench. Final score 12-3 fun bunch. Next up Bass Line Station.
