Tahoe Park, June 7 - The Slugs were a little rusty after a bye week and a couple of tough injuries and it showed in the first inning. The team's bats were cold. Ice cold. 3 up, 3 down. Then out in the field it wasn't much prettier. There were missed grounders, overthrown balls and mental errors. "I was worried," said Slugs manager Tamara Gordon. "I was thinking, Oh Crap, we're going to lose to the one team the league director promised me we could beat."
Those concerns were misplaced. By the second inning the Slugs were beginning to show a little of their old spark. Then in the third inning, or maybe it was the fourth, the Slugs bats went wild. The Slugs sluggers could do no wrong. Suddenly the Slugs led by ten. There were a few tense moments at the bottom of the final inning as the *itten *ats tried to rally. But the Slugs held them to just a few runs, not nearly enough to knock down the 13 point lead the Sluggies had going in.
Notes about our opponents - (take note, we're playing them again on June 21 at 6:30)
Don't be fooled by their flashy uniforms...
Skinny jeans are the *itten *ats bottoms of choice.
As for footwear - they scoff a cleats...
Their pitcher prefers Doc Martins.
Watch out for their left fielder - he can really hit and catch...
Oh, sorry, wrong photo. That's a picture of Weezer. If you want to destroy my sweater...um I mean defense...pull the string as I walk away. Oh man, this is confusing.
