The new weapon, still having never been fired, was placed in the hands of Charlie Brown, who promptly launched the BIG Unit's first offering to the fence for a triple. The weapon was passed down the batting order, with Gump, Rusty and The Witch Project all adding singles. Unfortunately, the 'Billies only tallied 1 run, and trailed 3-1.

With Isabelle's first at bat looming, the 'Billies squeaked out of the 2nd with three consecutive fly-outs, avoiding the free out. Trailing by 3 in the 3rd, The Franchise player, All-Canadian Cathy Bone made an appearance, and promptly removed Isabelle from the lineup - things were looking up for our heroes at that point... they promptly took a commanding 11-6 lead by scoring an unprecedented 8-run mercy in the 4th. The 'Billies almost matched this impressive display with a 7-run 6th.

With what seemed to be an insurmountable lead, the 'Billies were free to focus on more important things: having fun and distracting their own players. Taking the brunt of the heckling was All-Canadian Cathy Bone (ACCB) who, despite the Nike sponsorship appeared to be suffering from the same ailment as our beloved Captain Ron is just recovering from now, after 5 years of playing: "Pullitis". Apparently this disease targets only fastball players and causes them to pull the ball excessively, leading to the all-embarrassing strikeout. ACCB managed the hat-trick, chalking up three strikeouts, putting an exclamation mark on the last one by smoking a VW Rabbit under repair in the nearby parking lot. In true Fonzarelli fashion, the ailing Rabbit was seen driving away a few moments later... proving once again that sometimes mechanical beasts just require a little persuasion.!!

Back to the summary... Final Score 'Billies 20, CHAPPS 12: a Franchise record 2nd straight victory and one win shy of the all-time 'Billies/Dynamechs record A Division performance of 7 wins in one season. This late season charge will inevitably keep the 'Billies in Division A for at least one more season.!!

Once again, the team shined as a whole. Everyone contributed to the cause, leading the 'Billies to their 6th win of the season. We were all glad to see that the Porn Lover finally overcame her issues with certain pitchers, breaking out of her one-game slump with four consecutive hits to end the game (editorial note: none of these were fielder's choices - way to go Porn Lover!).!!

All in all, the 'Billies played a great game in the field, with the exception of a few errant throws from third. Exceptional fielding is one of the reasons the 'Billies are undefeated in the month of August. Equally impressive was the 'Billies efforts at the plate, breaking the 20-run plateau for only the second time this season. Charlie Brown led the charge, going 6 for 6 at the dish, while hitting for the cycle.!!

Despite being mathematically eliminated from winning the A Division sometime in late May, the 'Billies now find themselves in a tie for 6th with CHAPPS, and only 4 points from a respectable 5th place.!!

In keeping with a tradition started last game, the author has decided to award the Golden Lei to the ENTIRE active team from Thursday nite. I believe that it was a total team effort that led us to victory over a team other than Liquid State or the Time Bandits. Congratulations to Charlie Brown, Bubba Gump, Rusty, The Witch Project, Porn Lover, The Hustler, The BIG Unit, Igor, Captain Ron and Cap'n Canuck.!!

In a totally unrelated story, Lauren of Liquid State was spotted checking out the 'Billies bench in the late innings, but was scared away by Captain Ron's new hillbilly hat. She was heard to say "I can't play for a team that takes themselves THAT seriously!"!!

This post-game report has been brought to you by the letter "W" and the number "6". Go 'Billies!!
