After two straight weeks of rainouts, the Metro East Dirtbags softball team destroyed the team from Timbuktu, 19-3 in a five-inning shortgame.

It was never close.
Timbuktu's pitcher was lobbing the pitches in there and they were as big as beach balls.  They also didn't field very well.  We scored a good chunk of our runs after they should have been out of innings but failed to make a play that they should have.

The Dirtbags couldn't have played a much better game though.  We fielded extremely well and everyone was hitting. 

Timbuktu did try a unique strategy in barely clothing their female players.  Let's just say if they had been wearing belts you wouldn't have been able to see their shorts, which may be why Dirtbag third baseman Bill Day booted a ball that came his way early in the game.  Bill's 3rd base view of the right handed female batters (especially the ones who crouched a bit as they stood at the plate) was...well...impressive to say the least.

The Dirtbags are now 2-1 on the season.

No game next week for us, but the following week we have two games in one night...7:30 & 9:30.  WooHoo!!
