In game 1, versus the new team to the league, the big hitting Dvorak Lawn Care, our early 12-1 lead slowly deteriorated as this obviously tight knit squad slowly recovered from the traumatic injury to their second basemen. A nasty hop off the bat of Hof nearly decapetaded the poor guy leaving a gash above his eye. Luckily for him it seems that half the team is well trained in first aid and he received a well rounded treatment right in the dugout. Eventually we returned to play, and behind some strong hitting Dvorak clawed back into the contest. The blood wasn't done flowing yet though.... It would be best to let Berube describe what happened in his own words with the critical play at the plate...
"In a situation where the run was dire, the next guy got out ending the inning, had I not done what champions do, we may have lost. And I gave Bret a double and an rbi....just an all around team guy!" -BerubeBerubes knee looked like a bowl of chili...hot chili at that. But he didn't complain (much) and kept on battling all the way through like a tough guy does, without so much as a band aid as we held on for the win.
Final Score: Dirty Grizzlies 15 - Dvorak Lawn Care 11
Our much anticipated matchup against 6-0 Doublewide lacked the big game atmosphere we were looking for. It seemed that half their team was missing so they were more like one of those single wide trailers that you find in my home town. Anyway, Berube's inspirational grit and determination to play through his disfirgurment clearly had a strong effect on us all, and especially Schmidt, as we started out up 11-0 after his HUGE Grand Slam in the third. This one ended early, thankfully, so we could all go home and Berube could get the treatment he so courageously postponed to secure the wins that gained us sole possession of 1st place in the standings.
Final Score: Dirty Grizzlies 14 - Doublewide 2
