O'Brien - El Toro - Arrowhead
Team Report (Volume 4)
O-E-A slaps Ford of Champaign in the face!
Roger Rudicil lead O-E-A to a 26-6 victory with a brilliant pitching performance. The second game however was not quite as easy. Pitcher in training Dave Lemming was Struggling a bit when time out needed to be called. Self proclaimed "ALL WORLD COACH" Kevin Dennemann called time and made the trip to the rubber. All ready frustrated from such a close game you could tell Dave was not looking forward to this meeting. "I just tried to tell him to calm down, hell, he was shaking. He wouldn't even let go of the ball, I guess he thought I was going to yank him right there. (that will be another Mark and Joe story) Kevin said after the game. Dave finally came to his senses and O-E-A coasted to a 16-6 win in 6 innings. Scott Wilson was awarded a game ball for his brilliant season debut at third base. Hall of Fame coach Virgil Bohlen Jr. had this to say following the game; "It was nice to see some balls stay in the glove at third base for a change, I don't know if it because Scott is soft and cuddly but even the ones that hit him didn't bounce near as far as they do off of our regular third baseman".
Shortstop Chris "SKIPPY" Wingler and second baseman Roger "I need yellow balls to see" Rudicil did not receive a game ball because, well, because they just looked foolish!"
In other news a perfect 5 for 5 and home run shy of hitting for the Polish Tricycle Brian Malloch was named as a Team Captain
Next up on June 10th for O-E-A is Quad.
