In a game that only went 4 1/2 innings due to the league's 13 run slaughter rule, Z's defeated Short Cut 16-2. In keeping with the World Cup tradition as it happens around us, "Man of the Match" goes to Jeff Fuller. Jeff got the complete game victory filling in for Dave Chirokas. Chirokas was still feeling the after effects of the stunning loss to Franco less than a week ago. In addition, Fuller went 3-3 at the plate, coming as close to hitting for the cycle as has been seen in a long time at VFW field. Single, double, and triple, with 5 RBIs. And in keeping with Jeff's long-running fascination with all stats, NO runs scored. More importantly, Kangaroo Court Fines: - Eric Riseman for throwing a ground ball to 3rd base after Fuller strikes out a Short Cut player looking. - Derek Donegan for then not knowing what to do with the ball when it got to him (hint: throw it back to the 3rd baseman. Ball never goes to the 1B unless he owns the team and the ball always goes to the pitcher from the 3B, despite what other teams do. We do it right!) - Tim and Tom: Uniform violations - Eric again, for sending the sore-kneed Dave Brody to get thrown out at home. - And, volunteering for the K-3 role by virtue of his not being at the game (ON HIS BEER NIGHT) is Joe Murphy. Murphy also gets fined for no Friday food. Doesn't pay to not be here to defend yourself when the judge is hungry.
