Things to note while wondering why Thomas didn’t play this week:

-Away game at Stonybrook!

-Matero is 30!

-We played at what was universally agreed upon (written on the scorecard) Matero Stadium. Dimensions were roughly ~300 feet all the way around.

-Three-quarters of the planet is covered by H2O. The rest is covered by K1Chau. Kevin made several running, rangey catches to rob Sergio, Wilson and Jaysian of extra base hits.

-Christos came in relief of Mark (hah!), pitching 6 1/3 solid innings with 10 strikeouts while walking only one!

-Mark hit three (3!) batters in one and two-third innings of “work”, including Jaysian twice.

-Said Jaysian afterward, “Mark will pay for his insolence.”

-Mike was missed.

-Not having played since ESC XI, Pepe returned to his conquering ways. He went 2-for-4 with 3 runs driven in. He did it.

-Mark defended his captaincy for the 3rd consecutive time, having defeated Matero, Christos and Sergio.

-This marked the league debut of long-time Materrorist Allies, Corey, JP and Andrew.

-The birthday boy was tied, with Christos, for most hits on the day, going 3-for-4 with an rbi and two runs scored.

-The dugouts were covered to protect us from the heat!

-The dugout roofs were made of tin to not protect us from the heat!

-Due to a smaller backstop and people who were a little too foul-happy, we lost a few balls to the bushes.

-To my knowledge, no one played in SIPGITs.

-This marked the first week in years that there was no post-game Wendy’s.

-MATEROBBQ!

-At one point, obviously before females arrived, there were 17(!) dudes in Matero’s pool.

-We got Jaysian’s backstory—cool dude, that one.

-My vote for Players of the Game: ***Kevin, **Christos, *Matero/Cruzer
