Note: This was the final game of the first half of the Summer I season. The Weasels carried a 3-0 record going into the game, and were looking to remain undefeated. The opponents began the game without a full complement of players -- during Newton's first at bat, they had only 8 fielders. After he got on base, they added a 9th fielder. Late in the game they brought their total up to 10 -- until that point, they had to take an automatic out when they hit the empty spot in their batting order. The lack of players may have hurt the Nihalators, but what did them in was an aggressive and effective Weasel offense. Despite getting a few outs due to their aggressiveness, the Weasels gained far more from it than they lost. Eric got two in-the-park homeruns, and most of the Weasels were hitting the ball well also. Eric pitched a good game, and the Weasels had good defense at second base -- both Susan and Jaime let very little get past them. Once again it was a team effort, and unlike in recent weeks, the Weasels did not allow the opponents to have any huge innings. The final score was 21-11. Great job, Weasels -- let's continue this through the second half of the season! Happy birthday to Julienne! Thanks to Christine and Tammy for subbing. Welcome to the Ice Weasels, Jaime! Thanks to Rob for taking pictures (and for being ready to sub in for Neil if his injured leg acted up).
