UNSTOPPABLE
Fun Bunch once again come from behind to improve their record to 4-0
OTTAWA-The fun bunch fell behind after only two innings 6-3, despite steve "downtown" saunders' three run homer in the second. They rallied to score four runs in the third with some clutch hitting, but then got shut-out for the next two innings as they failed to score a run--despite plenty of opportunities including the bases loaded with only one out--leaving them trailing 8-7 after five innings. Realizing what had to be done, the team dug deep and scored three runs (including an incredible triple by Lindsay "line drive" Andrusek) in the sixth and allowed only a single run by the rebels to hold a slight one run lead 10-9 heading into the seventh. Leading off the seventh, the team scored four runs to increase their lead to a still-not-quite-comfortable five runs. The rebels got their lead runner on board on a grounder and a not-quite-perfect throw by "field marshal" that tailed away from chantal "rum runner" bujold. The next batter got a single to put two runners aboard with none out--the worst case scenario. However, the fun bunch then shut the door firmly on the rebels with a force out at second, a fly out and a highlight reel play at third. With a long single to the outfield, the runner at second base charged hard into third as Martin "the gazelle" Desjardins released a hard throw from the fence. With steve "field marshal" saunders covering the base at third, Lindsay "line drive" Andrusek waited patiently on the base line for the incoming rocket as the base runner bore down hard on her. The ball hit her glove hard enough to raise a welt and release a cloud of dust. The ball fell out of her glove as the runner giddily side-stepped "line drive" looking to scoot in to third. "Not so fast", "line drive" wheezed as she picked up the ball, spun around in the dirt and slapped the woman's calf hard with her glove causing her to wince in pain and astonishment. Game over - fun bunch win again, going undefeated so far in the tournament.
