Rats Nibble Opponents Into Submission
| Once again the Brewerkz River Rats laid their perfect-for-the-decade record on the line versus their arch-rivals, the VBears. Despite a mid-week tally of 29 affirmations of attendance, the Rats only managed to field a baker’s dozen of players.
Shoring up the center of the infield defense and batting 1 & 2 were recent River Rat returnees, Collin Toh and Daniel Heng. With international traveler Mumbles Vertlieb back prowling the sidelines, excellent coaching was on display as Collin and Daniel accounted for 2 hits, 5 walks and 6 runs scored in Game One.
Both games, in fact, were single ‘n walk fests. Were it not for Len (6 for 8, 3 doubles) Kizcek’s heroic efforts to pummel the right field fence, the Rats would’ve had only one extra base hit all day!
Singaporerats.com is disappointed to report, that, although we won Game One 15-5, and Game Two 11-4, there were not so many boneheaded plays. In fact, a mere solitary pink hat was earned (Greg Parker, looking K, heh heh).
Also worth mentioning is Bill “I’m Expecting a Hit Some Time this Decade” Lafferandre’s 0 for 6 and Harris “Yeah, But I Had a Walk, Too” Vertlieb’s 0 for 2.
Come on guys – Global Ratdom needs us to do more stupid stuff so we can enliven their wretched and pathetic lives away from Singapore. But, if stupid stuff is required, I have faith that we’re just the guys to do it!
And do it we will, in only 7 more days. |
