The Crows

Greg Stackhouse & Michael Bils combine for Crows victory!

The Crows win big!!!

Ahhhh! Now THIS is what summer softball is supposed to feel like! Finally some nice sunshine to go with the ping of the bats. In the primetime game of the day it was The Crows playing the 2nd game of their double-header against The Ceiling Camels. Both teams came to play some defense in this game with excellent defensive stops by both sides. By the end of the 3rd inning The Ceiling Camels held a narrow 7-5 lead, but something interesting happened right at the end of the 3rd inning as a crow flew at eye level right through the middle of the outfield.....was this a sign? If it was apparently The Crows got the message because in the 4th inning their bats woke up putting up a 4 spot, another 8 in the 5th, another 4 in the 6th and finally another 4 in the 7th! Stealing the spotlight on the defensive side was The Crows' pitcher Greg Stackhouse who kept The Ceiling Camels off balance pitching 4 straight shutout innings! Also, during that 8 run inning The Crows busted out a secret weapon....bubble gum! As the whole team chewed away in the now famous "bubble gum inning" the runs kept stacking up behind The Crows' Michael Bils who capped the bubble gum inning with an in-the-park Grand Slam! We may need to run some tests on that bubble gum to make sure it's ASA Certified....Congrats to The Crows on an impressive 25-15 victory & to Co-Players Of The Week, Greg Stackhouse AND Michael Bils!!!
