Chowder Slammed by Sausages

MONTGOMERY PARK, July 5, 2007. The Sausages shrugged off a miserable June and got back to their winning ways with a decisive 24-13 victory over the Chowder in last night's action. After giving up a 10-6 lead to the Chowder through five, due to some sloppy defense and cold offense, the Sausages stormed back with 7 runs in the sixth and 11 in the seventh for the victory.
Volley pitched a complete game and had a great night at the plate, going 6 for 6. In the 7th, coach Shoe told him if he gives up two hits he's gonna be pulled, and he summarily sat down the side 1-2-3.
In an experimental tactic, Dirty Al and Norm! switched positions from right and centre field respectively. Norm! had a circus catch in the 5th which left him sore and a bit dazed, but OK to play another day.
Amber was called up from the minors to replace vacationing Sink, and had a solid day at the dish, going 3 for 4. When asked to comment on her first game as a Sausage, she said "I'm not good at these things."
Dirty Al had a booming home run in the 7th to cap off a 4 for 6 night at bat, to the delight of Julius, who promptly composed a song about "dad" on his guitar.
Hope had a number of smooth plays at shortstop and he too had a rocket of a home run in the 7th for his third hit of the night. His kids Shauna and Logan were jumping for joy on the sidelines as dad streaked home.
Not to be outdone, T-Bag had a nice hit in the 7th, which impressed the hell out of his son Ewan, who clapped and smiled politely.
"Overall we had a great game tonight. It was nice to see us get a win after some bad luck in June" said Shoe.

Dirty Al 4/6
Norm! 4/6
Slashbunt 4/6
