Meridians Baseball

We have 12 guys ready to go Saturday night, but find only 7 at the field on Sunday with two call offs, one "no ride" and one "I'm sick" (that one comes 5 minutes after the scheduled game time).   The shuffle finds us with a deck off of the Dodgers bench to fill our holes.   Our pitcher then goes down running to 1st in the 1st inning so then we're at 6 of our own.   We do start the scoring right away and keep it somehwat close for awhile, but end up cruising to a 13-3 victory in 7 innings.   Kraus gets the Win.   Daniel "Hambone" Hamilton gets the Silver Slugger for the day while amazing us all by sliding on his back into 2nd...  

Thanks to the 5 Meridians who did make it out and the last-minute subs.
