The game started like many Slugs games this season - just one run in the first inning. Another one came in the second inning, but the Bad News and Review Bears had already amassed 10 runs. It was starting to look hopeless again. But then something magical happened, the Slugs offense came alive. They got something like 11 runs in a single inning. With at least a couple of people on base, Ed Fletcher hit a bomb into right field. It was gone gone gone.
Then, the Slugs hit the field and immediately shut out the Bears (in part thanks to a Kepley unassisted double play - also know as sacrificing his body to get an interference call). The Bears at bat had barely started and it was already over. The Slugs added 3 more runs in the next inning, and held strong on defense - securing their first victory of the season.
"I almost cried," said Coach Tam. "Thank God I don't have to shower at the truck stop."
The win was followed by victory popsicles, a couple of victory cigarettes, and victory shots of Jager.

Congrats on the victory. But somebody still has to shower at the Truck Stop. It's tradition.
Don't mess with tradition.
Wow a reader.
No truck stop unless we go 8-0 again.
Tam -- any way we can get a Summer schedule online?
