Tuesday 12th May - Base Jumpers vs Lone Wolves

After the first two losses we were pumped and ready for our third match on Tuesday. A full team ready to take on the Lone Wolves. The sun was setting over the hills on Primrose Hill making batting conditions hard.

We were up to bat first and managed to get a few home. We ran out onto that field ready for whatever they hit at us. Well what an innings they only got 3 home before we put them away. After that there was nothing stopping us.

We scored over 20 runs this game and managed to keep them to only 4. A couple of double plays really put us on the board, with great fielding from the outfielders.

Whilst running from second to third, Jacob got slammed in the face by a ball coming from their left outfielder. Unsure as to who he was trying to throw the ball to as Jacob was directly in between the two bases. But did he let a 50mph hard as rock ball whacking him in the face stop him! Hell no, he made it to third! What a trouper. Luckily the first aid kit was there and he was able to put a cold can of beer on his face. It was a massive red mark on the right side of his cheek/eye socket.

After that incident the Base Jumpers went from strength to strength. But not only that we had a great time! The wolves were unsportsman like in their behaviour. Calling the umpire on every play he calls is a bit stooopid. Also telling our catcher to shut up wasn’t on either. Giddeon’s pitching got called into question as well! This team needs to be advised which division they are in!!

Anyway it was an extremely satisfying win…….we kept the wolves at bay!
