Game 12: Mets 25 Cubs 5

The most unusual game of the year. We had only 5 players show up and the Cubs only had 6. We played anyway. With only 5 players, by the time someone would score it would be their time to bat again. We played 5 innings and each player got to bat about 8 times. There is a 5 run limit to each inning and we got our 5 each time.

Thank you Sylvia for being the "concession stand mom" even though you're Big Guy's sister.

How much did you charge for the frog legs?

Hitters of the game: Jaxon and Kyle each went 8 for 8. Jaxon had two homeruns and Kyle had one or two as well. Big Guy, Byron, and Aaron each had 6 hits.

Fielders of the game: Byron made a couple of good stops and got one runner out at third. Kyle got two outs at second. Big Guy got a runner out going to first. Jaxon got a runner out at first and made a couple of good catches on throws from other players that were almost outs. With only 5 players, the infielders were also the outfielders. Aaron was playing second base but did a good job going out to the outfield to get a couple of balls.

The fab five. Kyle, Big Guy, Jaxon, Aaron, and Byron, celebrating their win. Aaron had his best game ever. It must have been the shades.


We have two games scheduled for this Saturday at StoneCrest. The first one starts at 11:00 and the second will start right after the first, probably around 12:30. Please try to be there no later than 10:45. They usually start on time at StoneCrest. I'll be there by 10:30.
