Another rough outing highlighted the 7:30 game at Union Park, as Green Eggs and Ham put on a fireworks show against the Bomb Squad. The loss was pinned on recent signee, Karen of the RainMakers, as she filled in for the "Colombian Dandy" Johnner Londono. Green Eggs and Ham opened with a 6 run 1st inning, in what could have been more, thwarted only by the solid defense of the Bomb Squad. This was not to last as they began a much expected onslaught. The Bomb Squad had fun on the field, keeping their spirits up as they sprinted for 400 foot homers, and watched GEH perfrom circus tricks. The best of which was a one handed line drive that went for a Home Run. TheKID, a real clown himself, attempted the same feat as he hit a rocket into leftfield, that was narrowly snagged. The difference, of course, was theKID was playing with one arm for most of the game, sustaining an unknown arm injury. There has been speculation that it was suffered in a juggling accident, but there are no confirmed reports or witnesses.
The offense still suffered through a drought as the team could not get on track. Johnner and Sarah did show trememndous patience and competiveness by still trying to get a rally going despite being down huge. It was Amy's tremendous at-bat that proved the spark to the team as they rallied for 3 runs in the final inning closing the final gap 33-3.
A visibly upset manager, Izzy Lopez, only had this to say, "We just have to keep competing and worry about our team. I thought I saw a few people's mind wander, but I have to say i was more than impressed with the gutty efforts of theKID and Chris Hancock, who now has a kitchen mitt-esque thumb on his hand. We are a good team and I expect us to have a good final game. I think there is too much pride in that clubhouse to let this stand."
Iz3y then engaged in some martial arts with his brother, starting second baseman, Ed Lopez, ultimately coming out the winner by distracting him with a joke!
