It was another nail biter for the Entercommies, but Fat Kids are Harder to Kidnap proved to be stronger (and less fat) than they led us to believe.

Our run was started by a solid triple from Scott, who has the Midas touch for turning an ordinary man's single into at least twice that. He was then driven in by Cory, with a textbook kick.

The Fat Kids' pitcher, however, managed to peg Lyssa not once but twice with the ball in a fit of misogyny that would make Ike Turner blush.

However, it was not abuse of women that brought us down, but another late-game explosion from our opponents. The Entercommies future strategy? Stealing the bats from nearby softball games and letting our base coaches get creative. Commies don't get discouraged; they get clever.
