Re-Cap of Barnwell Game (Season 1-First re-cap I could find)

Well folks,
If losing builds character, charm, and tenacity, then we have it in spades. Yes, we came up short once again. Donald Williams has officially pulled my contract. Beth Middleton did point out one fact though. We do have the best looking team, best dressed team, best looking fans, and doggies out at the games.

We started out playing real well. We were the first at bat and the first to score. We made five runs in the first inning. So did Barnwell & Whaley. They scored one more the next inning and a racked up a large amount in the fourth due to base hits and missed balls in left field. The sun did not work in our favor in left field, and number eight did a poor job letting balls by him. However, the infield did an excellent job throwing out all but one of the batters. (The guy was an All State Track runner, what can you do about that?) We did not score again until the fifth inning. Adam rocked the seventh inning with some extreme base running, making it to third on what should have been a single. His slide was Trabertesque and almost ripped third base out of the ground. He is truly Stolamite! Trabert followed up with another triple, and was brought home by Joel Almighty. We had some good hits and Jo-Ann Waller came out to help out the girls. Even though her daughter said that she stinks, I thought that she played a heck of a good game. Way to go Waller. Beth Middleton came out and had an excellent game. Corbett as always played her heart out and made some great plays in right field as well as in the short out position. Joel, as always, had some good hits and racked up R.B.I.s with the bases loaded in the first inning. Brett had an excellent game finally walking the walk. Scarafile, even though had played golf all day, made some good on base hits, as he predicted. Tom and MAS keep getting better with their hitting ability. Jay-Bird had an excellent game and held down short like the professional that he is. Rosen had a great game. Unfortunately, this may be his last as he will soon become a free agent and the word on The Street is that he will be signing with Moore & Van Allen.
The next game will be played on the first of July, next Tuesday. We will be at the Orange Grove field. Orange Grove is in West Ashey near Parkshore. Instead of making the turn into Parkshore go to the light and turn right at the Exxon station onto Orange Grove Road. (Bobby Hartnett's, Exxon, and McDonalds are located at this interesection) The field is about a quarter mile up the road on your right. Lucas Ken Griffey Padgett will be off of the Injured List and will be playing at the next game. His ribs have finally healed and he is ready to be back in action. Also, Paul Callander will be playing next week, as lil' Rylie has finally let her dad get some time away. As a side note: on my way to Manny's, our after game wing destination, I ran into the Callanders in the parking lot. If you have not seen her yet, Rylie is a beautiful baby with a head full of gorgeous hair. Next Tuesday,
We will be playing the law firm formally known as Ness Motley, now Motley Rice or Rice-o- Ron-E. Yes, it is indeed named after motley rice, usually substituted with dirty rice, which is the hard to find ingredient in Edisto Stew. So, we will be playing dirty rice next Tuesday. If you can get back to me as soon as possible if you can or can not make it, so I can make a roster. Thanks for the great time I had out there last night Team. Always, Jet
Go Mighty McNair!

This is a reminder about the game on Wednesday, June 18 v. The Usual Suspects. The game will be at the Navy Base @ 6:30. Please try to arrive around six to warm up. If you need directions, please notify me asap so I can get them to you.

Also, this is the week that we will be getting jerseys. Scarafile will hand them out tomorrow for people in the office and at the game on Wednesday for those outside the office players. The cost is $25. I saw the jerseys last week, as for softball jerseys go, Berkshire Hathaway does not even have close to the level of quality and style that McNair is fielding this year. We have a list of the sizes and those that have ordered them. However, If you missed out, you are still able to order a jersey(s) just talk to Scarafile.
Batting Practice: A couple of us are going to that batting cages @ Slammin Sammies tomorrow night after work. If interested please contact me either today or tomorrow.
Go Mighty McNair!
