THE TEAM finally won one. Oh Sweet Victory, we have missed you so. The game started off looking like another Sunday of Basura Grande. The first inning ended with THE TEAM behind 7-0. THE TEAM had one single and one strikeout.
Blood and Spit are not a bad team but they spent the first round clubbing baby seals in G League while THE TEAM was getting the full penitentiary shower treatment in E League. Still, losing can teach a group how to go right on losing when winning makes you believe you are entitled to your victories. That is the thing that was so thrilling about the game. THE TEAM never gave up. Ten players played and ten players had hits. Eight players had at least one RBI.
THE TEAM 18 Blood and Spit 11 and the slump is broken.
Melody was a sandwich-worthy hero. The 2 walks, 2 sacrifices and 2 RBIs certainly helped but she was spectacular in the outfield. That included one of those shoe string jobs that she made look routine.
Peter's batting average was misrepresented in the last blog post. In Game 6 he went 3 for 4 with a walk and had his batting average actually drop to .857. The sandwich for Peter is obviously SALAMI. Peter put the game out of reach with a Grand Slam is his last at-bat.
There was a base clearing double by Victor. There was a double play by Doug. There was a 3 for 5 day at the plate to go with Natasha's great pitching.
It's fun to have so much to be excited about.
GO THE TEAM!!!

That was definitely an awesome game... I love that kind of excitement only The Team knows how to create. Great game!
What a blast! Everyone contributed in a memorable way. That was pure heart and determination and teammates supporting one another. Nice job.
As for our blog writer, the prison parallels are disturbingly effective(and hilarious). Well done.
