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)
