Despite being short two regular starters, the Sausages had one of their better games overall. The Sox are a power hitting team and play a testosterone-laced style, which may have rubbed off on DeedeeK, who, after being hit in the head by a thrown ball shouted "I don't need a sub; I wanna play!"
Volley had a solid start, but Shoe picked up the win after first giving up the lead he inherited. Norm! had two clutch hits and scored the winner, possibly spurred on by the presence of his weasel (and team mascot) Pepita. Actually, there were a number of mascots in attendance,
including these racing sausages all the way from Milwaukee (right).T-Ball got moved to the top of the order, and it seemed to work, as he scored four runs for the smoked, cured ones. "No wonder I'm so tired, I scored, like, a hundred runs," said T-Ball after the game. Later he went home and made himself a big pot of organic herbal tea using his tea ball.
The Sausages thank Ashlee, Paul and Angela M for filling in on short notice. Particularly Paul who got the game-winning RBI on a strikeout! The catcher dropped the ball and on the throw to first Norm! came sprinting home. Angela provided the most humorous moment when in a moment of panic she unexpectedly flipped a fielded ball not to first, not to second, not to third, where there were runners, but to the shortstop position where the closest fielder was probably Dirty Al in left field. Luckily she had a sense of humour about it and everyone had a good laugh.
There's a bye this Thursday, but the team may be practicing at a secret location.
