Defying a direct order from the commissioner of baseball, MBC played the apparent decedents of the 1919 Black Sox. The good news is that MBC prevailed, the bad news is we are still subject to possible disciplinary action.
Chris Luttinen pitched well for four innings and was rewarded by a strong offense which finally broke a close game open with a five run fifth inning. After Jimmy Sheldrup pitched a perfect sixth, the offense scored the game ending eighth run, to give MBC their FOURTH* mercy run game in a row.
The torrid hitting continued tonight. Ben Thomson (3-4) led off with a double and scored on Stuart Fairchild's (2-2 2 RBI) two out single. The teams traded runs and the lead until MBC put the game away with four runs in the fourth and five runs in the fifth.
Spencer Hogger and Mitchell Smith had two hits and Tino Peleti added three more (11 for his last 12). Peter Rakita and Andrew Kennedy also joined in on the hit parade.
Campy Queen had the best 0-3 night of all time as he scorched three balls, a line-out to right, and two screaming balls at the second baseman, but did manage to notch 3 RBI. My guess is that he is watching what young Daniel Queen is eating, or getting tips from the young superstar.
* Five mercy run games in a row, if you were to include US getting mercy runned! Just trying to keep us humble.

I told Mrs. L that I only ate one rack of Peleti Ribs at the last BBQ, so my math is flawed, but I think Chris Lutty survived five innings on the mound in that friggin cold, Not four...But who's counting besides Queen the stat man and Lutty's parents?
Besides a perfect 6th inning Jimmy gets a save for giving up his jacket to C-Lutty for hypothermia prevention.
Anyone ready for a Magnolia BBC propane deck heater for the bleacher crew? Id love to watch a game without feeling the need to wear a sleeping bag to the old ball game.
