August 10
Ah, finally the Popes Team-St. Benedict’s, we got wet, but it was a warm wet. Kids and wives headed for the trees to try and keep dry. Was it really raining? We wanted to get this game in so bad, we were in denial. The Popes team had us down 6 to 4 in the bottom of the 3rd when Tucker walked up to plate with bases loaded—the bat always makes a certain sound when you really cream one, sort of a ting, so, TING and the race was on to see if he could score before they threw the ball back in. (He did).
The Popes had a left handed batting kid who slid into first base on his stomach (ouch) and then he got on base again and slid (on his stomach) into 3rd (more ouch) and I think Kenwood Dry Cleaners is going to get a little business. But hat’s off to the kid for effort.
Jenny Fronhauer and Abby both got a pair of hits, the women were on fire. We were lucky to get this game in before somebody got hurt. We still have to play this team one more time-6:00 pm next Tuesday, before the Playoffs. Are we ready/Is the Pope Catholic?—Oh, yea. Chalk one up for the Turkeys—13-7.

Turkey Power
Grace Baptist Church had youth & speed, their time will come, but the Turkeys have age, experience & POWER, and if we had Brett Farve on our team we could win the whole ball of wax.
At the end of 4 innings we had em down 20 to 3. Snustad hits this towering fly ball, three outfielders converge on it & it falls in between all of em-wow, hope you bought a Power Ball ticket Snooz, you lucky____. Dave Adams continued his punishment of their third baseman-3 line shots down the line; I kept hearing their manager saying “Play close to the line”. Then in the first inning I could tell they were playing Nick in too close and he made em pay for that one. Lindsay hit a smash down the 3rd base line (took a page out of the Dave Adams Book). The highlight of the game was a big glop of kids enjoying, of all things, Pokemon cards-Geez, are those things still around.
It was a beautiful night, we welcomed Amity Grace into this world last night and I am a grandpa once more. Thank you Lord.
