Whew! Last night’s game was a demonstration in the capability of the 3 Seashells. Offensively, the team piled on 13 runs with several big dings and fielded every reasonable chance they had. The story of the night, however, had to be the stellar pitching of Gary Zimmer, who struck out 3 (remember, this is slow-pitch softball) and surrendered only 1 hit (and shortstop Molly Jones nearly pulled pulled that line drive out of the air before CF Lee Greenberg’s throw to 1st was just a second late).

Granted, Sportin’ Wood (a fellow Howard Street Inn Sponsored team) didn’t have a lineup of sluggers but the ‘Shells refused to play down to the competition, which is a good sign of things to come.

I didn’t get too video much (no tripod) and only took a handful of pictures during the 35 minute game but here they are.

The Shells will have to look to the farm system of Evanston/Wilmette to pluck a player or two for the matchup against the Smegheads. You gotta wonder if their female team members know what it means?

Also, because Lancy missed the game (thanks for filling in Aunt Mimi!) we had to go 6 and 5 with the order, so Don and I (Miles) shared a spot.
