The Machine Drops A Heart-Breaker

There's "good news and bad news" The bad news is the Machine lost a heart-breaker to Nex-P with a final score of 8-9 tonight. The good news is that this is the last time this season we have to see the Navy Base (see photo courtesy of J. Trabert)

A Pitcher's Duel
It may have been for sympathy, but when JET was fanned, somehow, Jay-Bird was as well. The Machine had a chance to bring up a couple of rookie law clerks from Double-A, Boo Moore and Jeff Little who did the best they could having not been properly introduced to the high-level of play at the Navy Base. The Machine did finally get the wheels moving in the 6th-inning, scoring 6-runs to come back from a 8-2 deficit, but the top of the order was held to just one hit (by Mr. Dependable) and Nex-P, won the game.
Go Mighty McNair!

Mr. Dependable's Favorite Line

There wasn't much hitting to brag about against Nex-P, but Mr. Dependable was of course, "Dependable" crushing the ball down the third-base line. Captain Trabert made the remark in a post-game interview that while coaching third-base he could hear the ball whizzing by him and the blown chalk (see photo) tells the tale. Keep it up Mr. Dependable!

Go Mighty McNair!
