HHS v. FEMA: 19 - 0!

Rebecca, Matt and Angela gearing up for another big win.

It was another big game for the Pandemics last night as they took to the field against the surging squad from FEMA. The wooden FEMA bats must have been drenched with formaldehyde as they had a difficult time getting anything going offensively. Or, the credit could be given to the outstanding Pandemics defense led by Jeff Anderson at short stop. Jeff played incredible defense throughout the game; even after suffering a pulled hamstring following a 2 run double in the early innings. In the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs, Anderson scooped up a hard hit grounder, sprinted to tag second base, and then successfully zipped the ball to 1st to record a double play…bringing us to 4 outs in one inning. It was spectacular! Joanne Chiedi, Matt Shiraki, and Ben Sasse also demonstrated golden glove defensive plays in the outfield.

On the offensive side of the game, all I need to say is Angela Glenn, Angela Glenn, and WOW, Angela Glenn. Angela elevated our team to a new level with her powerful batting demonstration. In a typical Glenn fashion, she stepped up to the plate with her sleeves rolled up, revealing her ripped biceps, triceps, and all the other muscles she has that I’ve never seen before. The pitcher mistakenly lofted her a pitch that was coated with butter…Glenn’s muscles tensed, her bat ripped, and the outfielders turned and ran…Glenn recorded her second home run of the season! At her next at bat the same thing happened, but she was held at 3rd base to allow the next batter, Coach Nelson, to hit her in. Other big bats were had by the surging Preeya Noronha who was 3 for 3 on the night, Coach Nelson with two home runs, and Rebecca Ayer who also smashed one into center field.

At the end of the game FEMA was left eating donuts. Final score PANDEMICS: 19, FEMA: 0. Can you say 8-0?

GO PANDEMICS!!
