Slugs Win!!!
Slugs correspondent
Slugs manager John Kepley awoke, in a panicked rush, sweat dampening his brow.
His mind cloudy, spinning, hazy.
It seemed so real. Had the Slugs just crushed an opponent 16-2? Was it a dream? For that matter, was his recollection of an 0-8 embarrassment just a nightmare?
As the haze began to clear, ever so slightly he realized the pounding in his head was hangover - but was it victory shots, or shots to forget.
As he reached for his cell phone on his bed stand, he realized he was still wearing his glove from the night before.
And if he needed further confirmation, dragging ass to the bathroom he noticed the fresh tattoo blazoned across his forehead reading: “Yes John, you are 1-0, just in case your too drunk to remember.”
For the entire Slugs team, if last season was a nightmare. Thursday night was a wet dream.
The Slugs displayed strong defense and opportunistic hitting in route to an offense outburst the Slugs hadn’t seen in years.
“If felt really good to get off the snide,” said Slugs leadoff hitter Jim Miller. “Last season was such a disgrace.”
The highlight of the game was a flair into left the had nearly every fielder touching the ball and ended with center fielder Kevin Yamamura jumping in front of his wife, the second basewoman, to record an out at second.
“It was a great play,” said Ryan Lillis. “I just hope that Kevin gets out of the dog house soon.”
Mackenzine Tysell Yamamura said she wouldn’t let the fact that Kevin will have to find a dog house to sleep in mar the good evening.
While the excitement still ran high, pitcher Erin McGuire urged the team to not get too happy with themselves.
“It was clear our opponents were a little rusty and we had an 0-8 bashing to warm up,” McGuire said. “Let’s just stay humble and see where the season takes us.”
