Fortune cookie say
“ you really crack me up”.
I started out
today’s game by reading my team fortune cookies in our dugout. In our case, the
way we played, it was more like misfortune cookies. Someone must have tainted
our Chinese food, because we played like we had a severe case of food
poisioning. Here is an ancient Chinese proverb that applied to today’s game.
“It’s more fun being the hammer than the nail.”
Visiting Team,
Hung Won Unem: Rivera, Denny, Stier, Finnegen, Levesque, Pepin, Essenmacher,
Vandenberg, Farinas, Vandenhyde and Wells.
Home Team, Sum Tim
Wong: Benson, Drouilard, Brock, Seguin, Erb, Matta, Reagan, Dampier, Osterreich,
Roy and Ing.
Hung Won Unem,
spread the ball all over the field. They scored 10 runs in the first 3 innings,
all those runs were scored with two outs. Their fortune cookie read, “If
opportunity is not knocking, build a door.”
The Sum Tim Wong
team answered back with 7 runs in the first three innings. That is as close as
we would get. After 3 innings the score was Visitors: 10- Home:
7.
Our fortune cookie
read; “he who throws dirt, loses ground.” We must have been shoveling dirt in
the air, because Sum Tin Wong fell way behind. Credit team Hung Won Unem for
their excellent hitting. The Final Score was Visitors:31- Home:
18.
Playing softball
is like eating Chinese food, in an hour you’re ready to do it
again.
Thanks to Joe
D’Herin for umpiring the game. Joe was a bit under the weather, so he could not
play today for his team (Visiting Team). I am sure their performance made him
feel a little better.
Outstanding
plays:
Bobby Reagan for
his catch of a sinking liner, at 2nd base.
Josh Wells, for
pitching an excellent game. (WP)
