Softball Week 2 Recap

Hungover Gamers Split Series - Ironically, on a day when star shortstop Rob Roll couldn't stop saying, "we are the damn thing doers because we do the damn thing", the gamers couldn't do a damn thing offensively in dropping the first game 2-4. Amazingly, it was the second straight pitcher's duel that the gamers have been in, a rarity in slow pitch softball, but this time they came up on the losing end.

In the second game, the lethargic Gamers again started out slowly but came to life as the game wore on. Inspired by the toughness of their official scorer, Heidi Holmgren, who stayed in the game despite getting hit in the side by an errant throw, the Gamers scratched out a come from behind 7-5 victory. They were led by the aggressive baserunning of Rob Roll, the clutch hitting of Rob Rathbun, and the impeccable fielding of the league's best defense.
