Game Notes:
In perhaps the greatest showing of team unity and fan support in the history of the once Mighty Purple Herd, Family De La Walkush put on one of the most completely dominating pregame festivity tailgate parties in the history of Co-Rec softball. Not only did this event bring awareness to the Herd struggles, it was thought to be a preventative measure to ensure that nothing so disastrous as being mercy ruled 2 games in a row would ever happen again. Fans from miles away came to participate in this epic event, complete with fantastubulous hot dogs, pizza and assorted beverages from the prestigious Gatorade family. When Herd management looked up to the parking lot from his post on Field 3, he could not help but to become overcome with emotion and simultaneous jubilation. Also of note: Scotts Birthday. Happy.
The fun did not stop there. The Mighty Herd returned to 2009 mid season form early in the showdown with the YMCA’s, going up 7-3 thanks to an amazing all around effort by the entire Haneline/Miller family. Wes “BGF” Miller got his first career Herd start in LC and needless to say, he did not disappoint. Despite almost getting plowed over by one of the most intimidating physical specimens in the history of the Herd Outfield in Herd Administration, Wes was able to make numerous ESPN’esq plays in the outfield to accompany his 4-4 at the plate including one of the most skull crushing home runs you will ever see. Heather “Purple makes everything Glorious” Miller also brought her A game on this amazing evening, going a glorious 3-4 at the plate along with several crucial put outs in her 1st start in LF of the season. It was not the on the field contributions that make Ice Cream one of the most beloved Herd Athletes of our or any generation, it is her off the field attributes that catapult her into a different stratosphere. Tonight’s contribution: Magic Purple Silly Bands. Sensational.
The 3rd member of the Haneline/Miller quartette, J-Mill continues to show Herd administration what a waste of the last 33 years has been without her on the Herd Roster. J-Mull is the steadying force in the batter’s box and has become one of the most feared 2nd base/first base women in the entire league with her Stephie Graph’esq grunt each time she decapitates a softball into left field.
Another Herd rookie superstar, Jeni Mullen is starting to truly develop her Herd legs at this point of the season. Despite playing for 9 different teams last night, she left her heart, mind, body and soul with the Herd, beating out several ground balls with her Mullen like speed and holding down Left Field as could only be expected from a Superstar League Veteran such as herself.
One of, if not THE hottest female bats rests souly on the mighty shoulders of one Ms. Shannon Craft Award. There has not been one single night this year that Awards bat wasn’t as sizzling hot as a delicious Justin Beiber single and last night was no exception. Shannon was able to drive in a clutch run in the top of the 1st inning that gave the Mighty Herd a cushion for the rest of the night.
Another silent Herd legend, our very own Chris Pfohl was able to put off his duties running the most prestigious night club in the entire metropolitan area last night to lend the Herd a helping hand in its greatest time of need and as always Chris “Worry about the 1st, get the rest later” Pfohl was up to the task especially with the metal in his hand. Phol took it upon himself to literally, completely and undoubtedly DESTROY the 1st basewoman for the already shorthanded A’s. The rockets launched from the mighty bat of Pfhol had the 1st basewoman quivering in a pile of her own fear induced vomit all night, and it was indeed a thing of beauty.
The Legend of all Herd Legend, Ashley “you are the reason I have grey hairs” Perdue continued her amazing streak of giving Herd Management grey hairs last night, arriving literally 4 seconds prior to to the game. Ashley dismissed her duties at work in a very similar way that she dismisses the mental stability and mindset of Herd Administration, quickly and effortlessly.
While Biggie’s greatest accomplishments on the field are oft overlooked, he made a tremendous contribution off the field last night in ways that can only be expressed with a romantic embrace. It was Biggie who informed Herd Administration of the Tailgating party going on just feet above the field, a party that Herd Administration was unaware of at the time. Biggie, true American hero.
Then we lost.
