Friday's intersquad consisted of a 10-inning contest. We played our starting lineup (white) against our second nine (in the blue shirts). The second nine jumped out to an 8-0 thanks to four walks and a hit batter early on.
The starters fought back to eventually tie the game at 8-all, then again at 11-all. Facing darkness, we spotted a runner at first in the bottom of the 10th -- he scores the white team wins; he fails to score, blue wins.
Pitcher Steve Sturm bounced back from sub-par outings the first two weeks to come in and slam the door -- took advantage of an opportunity. He aided himself with a nice defensive play (not quite a Billy Chapel moment, though). Good to see him get better.
As happens this fall, the winners celebrate...
... and the losers pay.
Three triangles in 1:25, or we do it again.
"You need to hate losing more than you love winning."
