The conditions were bizarre, with a stiff wind blowing in from the right field corner across the field. It was virtually impossible to hit the ball with any authority to right, and sometimes the ball carried out to left, but other times not. So, to counter a weak opponent with roughly one guy that could get the ball TO the leftfielder, DJ came up with the brilliant idea to play 5 infielders, which our opponents failed to penetrate (heh) with any authority. The defense and pitching was solid. Offensively, we did the best we could in game 1 considering the wind and the guy on the mound for the other team. Took walks, station-to-station, etc. Game 2, we were less patient, but more relaxed, if that makes sense. We obviously had our foot off the gas and coasted to a kind-of-close-but-not-really-win.
Yay sweep. I'd say this would generate momentum, but in the infinite wisdom possessed by the hegemony of the Batavia Park District, we have to wait a week. But, it'll be back to Memorial Field and more desirable conditions, hopefully.

I love that you were able to include the word "Hegemony" into a softball-based blog.
