Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
A few of PTowns ballplayers drove through a locust storm yesterday. Sam Banister's University of Arizona Wildcat Softball team, the nation's most potent offense was blown out 14-0 by Georgia in an elimination game. And the season is over for DJ Gentile's Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs. They were also defeated in a close game by Kent State. Jonny Gomes finally got a pinch hit appearance in a miserable game versus the Milwaukee Brewers. And he flew out. Surprised I heard the call. Last night's game was a steady stream of tornado warnings punctuated with intermittent baseball. Hope everyone in Ohio is OK.
Rather than second guess Dusty's moves (believe me, there's plenty of that going on), I thought I would lighten things up with this pearlacious recap of Tommy Everidge's Thursday game. Originally written in French by a blogger and Royals fan named Dan Cortez, the delightful Reverse Googlator gives us a unique perspective. I have only paraphrased here. If you have a few minutes to read the entire blog, you'll enjoy a bonus chuckle or two as Dan shares his flu riddled trek to his daughter's softball game.
AA - NW Arkansas: Midland 12, Naturals 8 (Thu.):Well done Tommy. I think.
