Fairfield Island. 10am. Vs Chilliwack Cubs.

It was a dark drive out to Chilliwack. The threat of precipitation loomed large. The wet stuff held out. A fierce wind was the main enemy. Anyway...

We again fielded a roster of ten. Grace showed for his first game since the birth of his baby girl. Her name, Claire. Street that Fairfield Island is on, Clare. No i because there's no i in team. We knew we had a tough game on tap, being tied in the standings with the Cubs. They jumped up early, taking a 3-0 lead. We fought back and then some in one inning, tying our inning and game high with 6 runs on some hits and a few miscues by the defense. There were more miscues than usual for both sides throughout the game. Well, for us for sure, but we're not sure if the Cubs make that many miscues in an average game. We doubt it.

We are happy to announce that we finally scored more than 6 runs in a game this season. We hit double digits! Ten! Dix! The Cubs got seven for those of you keeping score at home. Special shoutout to our two fans present at today's game. Thanks for joining us in Cubs country.

While today's weather was unpleasant, we have it on good authority that last weekend the weather at Fairfield Island was perfect for a game. You see, Brad made the trek out to Chilliwack on Sunday the 20th and arrived at 9am to an empty park. He phoned his wife, waking her up, and asked her to check the team website for the schedule. She told him that there was no game, due to it being a long weekend. He thanked her for the information and began the trek back home. We thank him for sharing that story with us. Kudos.
