Sausages make B-board final, lose close game

GORDON PARK, Vancouver, BC, August 27, 2006. The Sausages were brimming with a well-spiced combination of pork, beef and confidence going into Sunday's play at the MHR championships. The first game was against the mighty Traders at 9:30 on the northeast diamond. The confidence of the Sausages was short-lived, as the Traders got off to an early start with a 7-run first inning, and never looked back. The Sausages tried to make a game of it by chipping away at the lead through the next few innings, but couldn't match the firepower of the Traders. Shoe got lucky with a hit and managed to use his lightning fast speed to 'grind' it into a grand 'salami'. Final score was 14-10 Traders.
In the first game of the playoffs it was the rematch with the Shirts. It was a close game, with back and forth leads, until the fifth when the Sausages broke it open with a 7-run outburst. Dirty Al had a grand salami of his own in that inning. He was also particularly fast on the base paths, stealing a number of bases in the tournament. Sources close to the team said he was on the "juice".
In the consolation final, the Sausages could not close out the Chowder, and lost by one run on a great play by their outfielder to take a hit away from Tracy. During the game there was an unfortunate play in which a bad hop caught DeedeeK in the face and forced her to leave the game. "It was like someone dropped a coconut on concrete," said Dirty Al. He continued, "after that injury we were a bit rattled and didn't really care too much about the score."
Final score was, um, well, who cares.
Box scores will be available later in the week.
