Team Oren Decimated By Injurires

Davie, Fl -

With 9 regulars either hurt or missing in action Team Oren was down to three players at the start of Sunday's game against the black team. Those three players (Craig, Joe, and Kevin) refused to forfeit and actually challenged the black team to take them on 10 on 3.

The way that would have worked was that someone on the other team would have played catcher, Kevin would have pitched and ran over to cover first base on any grounders, Joe would have played the left side of the infield, and Craig would have covered the entire outfield by himself. Unfortunatley the black team wanted none of that plan and nixed the idea leading to Team Oren taking a forfeit.

However, since one of the other teams on the north field also forfeited the schedule was reworked so that the two teams that actuaully had enough players could play each other and the two teams that forfeited could possibly play a makeup game at another date. So basically we haven't offiically forfeited yet.

In other news, Craig, Joe, and Sam were recruited to help out the yellow team during their 6 o'clock matchup with the teal team. With Oren watching on, Craig and Joe roomed the outfield and combined to go 3 for 5 with 2 runs and 5 rbis to carry the yellow team's offense. Meanwhile, Sam set up a 4 run game winning rally in the third inning with a sacrifice hit.

Next week, weather permitting, Team Oren will look to get back to their winning ways although doing so will be difficult since they will be without Kevin, Oren, and Seth who may be out for the year with a broken foot.
