Jumping through hoola-hoops to find the field did not spark positive attitudes in the initial arrival, until, Averion’s bats went bananas from the first batter in the line up to the last. Riding on a 2 game win streak, we were not going to take an 0-7 team lightly, even Jens slapped on some batting gloves.
Where to start, so many highlights running through my skull, first, I must say that their outfield strategy may have given us some extra bases, but I will not apologize when yours truly was having a field day with their right fielder, you would think that having hit to the right side the entire game would indicate where I was driving the ball next, suffice to say, the lead off man batted for 1.000 and 2 home runs (this was my first multi- home run game since little league, so let me enjoy it people!).
Not to be topped, Coach Sully’s bat also went batsh*t crazy as well, with 2 homers with the first one blowing the game wide open. JJ had an especially strong offensive output in the middle innings, essentially bridging the top order with the bottom half of the lineup stringing together monster hits after monster hits to extend our offensive innings. Kudos to JJ!
The middle to bottom of the lineup also held their own, Jens leading the way with timely hits and advancing runners with said base hits. Paula did a tremendous job as a fill-in and quickly got settled into the lineup by refusing to utilize the small girly ball! As it turns out, when Katie accepted to use the small ball, she quickly climbed out of her self-professed ‘slump’, if only for a game 
On the defensive side, meh…same ol’, same ol’, Jimmy was throwing some heat and I did however make an error though, but I was really, really hoping to make a balls out bananas catch, oh, well, we’ll get some jewelry for your mama.
It was almost unfair for the other team as our offense was freakin’ ON, in one inning, Sully hit a HR to center, JJ cleaning up the bases, Jens advanced a few runners and then the lead off came up again to which the pitcher replied, ‘How is HE up again?!,’ one pitch later, boo yeah!
So as it turned out, traveling to Worcester provided us with the nicest field played on all season and a huge confidence booster going into tonight’s game.
