Things looked good at the outset, as the 'Billies took to the field against the second place Rockall Gannets. Once TTT put his dreams of attaining a lower ERA than the BIG Unit aside, he settled in and allowed the 'Billies to tally two runs in the top of the first. Feeling a little overconfident about being undefeated in two, and having an exceptionally good first inning at the plate, the wheels fell of in a hurry as the 'Billies first inning woes continued, surrendering seven runs in the bottom half.

After the first inning, there were no real highlights for the 'Billies, with one exception: Igor smacking a double down the left field line in the top of the second, scoring G.P.. Unfortunately, Igor's heroics didn't provide the spark the 'Billies were looking for. Things kept getting worse and worse for our heros as the Gannets racked up an impressive 21-3 lead after 5 innings.

As the dejected 'Billies were heading to the plate in the top of the 6th, and the opposition asking whether we would consider packing it in and calling the game, the Porn Lover came thru with the new game plan, Plan B: Score some runs! The true power of this statement was not realized at first. The inning began with a single by Dr. Dan. Then Charlie Brown stepped to the plate, and smacked the ball down the third base line (in Igor-esque fashion) which was erroneously called foul by rookie umpire TTT. Using the sweet double action, and a little bitter about the call, Brown proceeded to drive the BIG Unit's second offering over the chain-link Monster in Left, becoming only the second 'Billies player to clear the fence, and the first to clear the Monster.

This seemed to spark the silent bats of the 'Billies offence, as the pitching staff surrendered a total of 7 runs on nine hits, including an impressive triple by the Hustler. The Hustler, feeling the pressure of living up the standard set in a previous game earning him the Golden Lei, had a career game going 4 for 4 at the plate, including a triple in the run-filled 6th, with three runs scored. Triple T, once again proved that he has some sort of magnetic attraction to baseballs, almost getting beaned by a G.P. line drive while standing on 1st. Fortunately, TTT avoided catastrophe and scored on the hit.

Equally impressive was the 'Billies 3 up, 3 down inning in the bottom half, bringing them back to the plate to continue the comeback. Charlie Brown led off the inning a little distracted by the "Heartbreaker" (the opposing catcher), who was seemingly impressed by his homerun in the previous inning. The UNIT delivered another gem of a pitch, and watched it Fall into the GAP(TM) in right-centre. Brown legged out a second straight homerun, hoping to spark the 'Billies bats once again. The Hustler answered the call, scoring a run of his own, but two fly-outs and a strikeout later, the 'Billies were back on the field with only 2 runs in, trailing by 10.

Unfortunately, the 'Billies ran out of gas and fizzled in the 8th and 9th innings. An impressive display of integrity in a losing battle. Final Score: Gannets 22, 'Billies 12. The 'Billies take to the field once again Monday against CHAPPS. With a victory Monday nite, the 'Billies would find themselves in sole possession of 6th place, and quite possibly in a tie for 5th!

Captain Ron has declared Charlie Brown as the recipient of the Golden Lei for this game. When asked why, Ron's explanation was simple, "I thought I was the only one who could dial up the 519 area code. A feat like that deserves a good lei." The 'Billies took to the field for the second time this week, and once again, Invisible Isabelle was in the starting lineup. The 'Billies spirits were low to start the game, as they once again started short handed. With Isabelle in the lineup, and the BIG Unit on a field trip to retrieve his mitt, the sparse 'Billies defence once again spotted the opposition 3 runs.
