A rare Friday night game. A rare game for the Indians at Minoru. Some players had to pay for parking. Where do they get off? And by they we mean the parking chargers, not the players. And we don't actually wanna know where they get off - that's a little personal.
We had heard rumors last week that right field at Minoru was f***ed up, and the rumors proved true. We'd like to
describe for you exactly what makes it so, but......... yeah. Piva started on the mound, and pitched well for the first five innings. Then Ratelle came in for four innings of relief and also pitched well.Our bats showed improvement. Patience at the plate combined with timely hits resulted in many baserunners and runs batted in, moreso than usual. We'd go so far to say that we had more baserunners this game than any other game this season, but we have nil stats to back that up, so we won't say it.
In the top half of the eighth inning, Ratelle received a very dubious strike call during an at bat - it looked up and in to everyone but you know who. On the first batter Ratelle faced in the bottom of the eighth, he received the same call in his favor. Blush, eye shadow, lipstick: make-up!
With the win (12-2?), we are now currently alone in first place! We just have to wait to see how the Delta Tigers fare on Sunday. Just one picture from today's game - night games and our camera don't play well together.

Once again a base-clearing extra-base hit. This go 'round it was Neidert up with the sacks juiced in the top of the sixth. He hammered one to the gap in left-centre and tallied a 3-RBI double. Kudos.
