5/31/2011 - Mount Calvary Black...A Comedy of Errors
After an 11-6 loss last Monday against Mountville 1, the bats came alive in a big way tonight. We scored 17 runs. That's more runs than we scored in our last 4 games combined. But we should have scored 5 more. We dropped this one 21-17. The defense was as bad as the offense was good. The losing streak now sits at 5 games and brings back memories of the cursed 7 game losing streak during our 2009 season. I broke the '09 curse by wearing throw-back cleats and Umbro soccer shorts...desperate times call for desperate measures, we'll see what I look like on Friday for our game against Etown BIC.

5/16/2011 - Mount Calvary Navy
We lost 17-3. That makes it 3 games in a row we scored exactly 3 runs...At least nobody can accuse us of playing inconsistent softball.

5/5/2011 - Mount Calvary Black
We dropped our Cinco de Mayo game to Mount Calvery Negro with a score of siete(7)-tres(3). We scored our three runs in the first three innings, then took a siesta on the base paths. I managed to strike out 4 of Mount Calvary's batters in this game, 3 swinging and 1 looking, a new personal record.
Next up is a game against our bitter rivals Etown Mennonite Red, 5/9/11 6:15 at Armstrong 2. I can't remember any game with so much hype for two teams that have not yet faced each other in league play. Should be a good one!

5/2/2011 - Word of Life Chapel
Sticking with the "big inning" theme, we tagged WOLC with 8 runs in the 2nd, en route to a 14-4 victory. It was a game that took only 4.5 innings for us to reach the +10 run mark and end it early. It was our 2nd win and 1st dominating performance of the season.
Newest roster addition, Nate Gish rips a line drive.
Next up is Mount Calvary Black on 5/5 at 7:00.

5/1/2011 - CBC Navy
Trailing 15-5, we put a 9-spot on the board in the bottom of the 6th to draw within one run. Then after managing to keep CBC from scoring in the top of the 7th, we stranded the tying run on third and the winning run on first in the bottom half resulting in our third loss of the season, 15-14.
