Games 5 & 6 - Score (This guy knows what I'm talking about...)

If we have learned anything from the first six games of the season, it's that we can hit. Like, a lot. After combining for 31 runs in games 3 and 4, Rambone stayed hot with the sticks to the tune of 36 plate-crossings in 5 and 6. Results, though, are the key, and the 'Bone earned a hard-fought, hotly-contested split. In fact, a sweep was nearly a reality, save for a slick patch in left field that caused our outfielder patrolling the area to lose his balance and barely miss a flyball that would have ended the contest in Rambone's favor. We'll decline to mention that as said flyball was mere feet above said outfielder, the eldest (like, by far) statesman on the team made known his desire for the result of the play by giving the kind of sage advice only the savviest of veterans can: "CATCH IT!!!!!". The leftfielder must've have been shocked that "CATCH IT" was an option he had in the scenario of a flyball (or any ball, for that matter) hit in his direction, and that shock no doubt caused him to wet himself and the surrounding area 'neath his feet, causing the slip and subsequent flyball miss referenced above. But, this potentially disheartening turn of events was soon forgotten, as Rambone was able to hang on in the second game of the twi-night doubleheader for victory.

A split against JT Rockets is nothing to sneeze at, especially since we really should have won both games. The sticks have really come around...it's almost a shame that there's a full week before our next contest.
