Slugs Practice, Slugs Lose, Slugs Practice More

Thanks to global warming, it was an unseasonably warm March afternoon when the Slugs gathered in Tahoe Park for their first practice of the year. It was a joint practice with the Solid Gold Hits and and the Luck Dragons...but if attendance determines success, the Slugs kicked butt. And, in fact, in a scrimmage game with the Slugs vs everyone else, the Slugs dominated.



If only the Slugs could have kept the magic flowing when they took on Majority Rules a week later. It turns out the Majority did rule in this case. The Slugs looked a little rusty out there. They missed a few easy outs and their bats were tepid at best.

And then in the ultimate insult, Majority Rules showed up at Luigi's fine pizza establishment...the Slugs' official post-game hang out. There was almost a rumble but thankfully Luigi (not his real name) had reserved a table for his beloved Slugs. The Amber Bock and Bud Light were cold, the pizza was incredibly hot and the pain of defeat quickly faded.

The Slugs have a bye this week, but they won't be idle. The Slugs are heading to the indoor batting cages in West Sacramento for some serious batting practice.
