Grassies soothe Fred Savage beasts 12-3

Monday was a record-breaking night that would see The Grassholes topple their previous runs-total high (10-0, against The Ponies of Death in season 3) in come-from-behind fashion against skilled league-newcomers, The Fred Savages. The Savages came out of the gate strong, lighting A-Train up for 3 in the bottom of the 1st and holding the newly formed Grassy Offensive Behemoth to only 1 run through the 1st two. But the Grassies would rally in the third, led by a 3 run homer from Corey “The Lieutenant” Harris. Corey would later tack on another two RKIs in a dominant performance (his first as a Grassy and it was his birthday!). Only four girls could make it to the game, but they were all en fuego; Jackie Chu exhibited serious speed and scored on a heads-up play. Pamther scored on a suicide squeeze as did Gianni; their plays would avenge the pitfalls suffered by HazMatt and A-Train in similar situations.

Gianni also recorded a save and a foulout after pitching 4 scoreless innings. The funny thing is that he had just pitched 5 shutout innings hours before in a different league!!! Sammy “Sosa” Levassar also made Grassy history going 3-3 with 3 runs scored!

The strong play of our new free agents has not gone unnoticed as all three of them are league-leaders in all the important statistics. Levassar has 4 runs, the most in the league through two games. Corey has 1 HR, tied for the lead with 4 other players but in only half the games! Corey also has 5 RKI, one shy of the highmark set by Lebowski’s Todd Harty. Gianni trails only Chuck Norris’s ace, Brandon Paialii in pitching stats though he has spent less time on the mound and has a better RAA.

Big play also came from the usual suspects and notably from Rob “Astroclyde” Clyde who has double his production from last season.
