Run To The Hills

Re: last night's outcome - if it was expressed as a mathematic equation, with our score of "2" a known variable & their score the unknown variable, the equation would be best expressed by multiplication rather than by addition or subtraction. Or exponentially (a dark thought).

Moving on: there was much to take from the pitch in celebration. In Canadian ice hockey fashion, awarding three stars after each game to stalwarts - only we're going to forego the naff tradition of awarding prizes to the opposing team - the following were standouts last night:-

1st star - Hillary. A revelation at catcher, snaring two foul balls and reducing grown men to tears, bats trailing between their legs as they slunk back to their bench. Wonderful to behold.

2nd star - Shell. Three punishing catches in left-field, one a foul ball snared after a long run, play that pushed hitters out of their early swing comfort zone. Fantastic consistency.

3rd star - Kat. For snagging a low line drive from her perch at second at the top of the seventh, a certain extra base hit taken away. Hitters should think twice about challenging her athleticism.

Honourable mention - Adrian, for pitching a sterling game, consistently in the strike zone and forcing hitters to swing. Marvellous stuff.

Hopefully run-scoring accomplishments can be celebrated next week...
