Meridians Baseball

Meridians in Absentia (MIA) 

A/C starts things off with a ringing double down the line (a legit two bagger despite the fan interference).   Just Kus drives him home (hitting righty against their nasty lefty) with a looping liner (now deemed the 'black olive single').   The Ringbearer strolls to the dish next knowing how much power the Ring doth posess and proceeds to take aim on his 4th Meridians bomb...   However, he hits the pill so hard that it bangs off of the top of the outfield fence and shoots all the way back into the infield without anyone touching it (and with TL's 'Yankee' speed, he barely gets to 1st).   Dan Pow steps up next and tries to score TL from 1st with a two-base triple, but to no avail.   The Dawgs then walk our ghost man to get to Arnie Topher, but the plan backfires as he knocks their hurler off the hill with a comebacker back through the box into the outfield's grassy knoll.   Our next ghost man battles hard, fouling pitch after pitch into the Hille ravine and earns a free pass.   P.B. Cups finally gets to the park and approaches the plate full of strife and angst.   He channels his inner demons and launches a no-doubter off the 5th semi-trailer in the lot behind the left field fence.   Due to a technicality however, the 7-run inning ends up just being a heat-induced daydream as the umpires call a triple play based on their copy of the rule book...

And actually, all of the above is fiction if you didn't figure it out already as we get two call-offs on game day & then 3 no-shows and are unable to field a team...   Thanks to (in order of appearance above):  Andy Couture & Justin Kraus (both hungover, but early arrivees nonetheless), Tanner Lahmers, Dante Powell, Chris Arnold and Derek Reese.
