Hi everyone!
Sunday was a great day.  The weather was beautiful, and the rag-tag band
that makes up FIS trounced its highly disciplined UNIFORMED opponent
(which was EPH 'Outbreak', by the way...I goofed up last week saying we
would play the Law School).  FIS jumped to a 5-0 lead in the 1st, and it
was smooth sailing from there.  By the end of the 2nd, it was 11-1.
 After that, FIS 'watched their noses' and 'stayed tight' (people seemed
to have a problem with my odd, but well-intentioned, cliches), and
finished with a 20-8 victory.
Terry, who many of us are accustomed to playing a fine game, played
perhaps the finest game I've seen in my softball life.  His dazzling
"black-hole" defense was coupled with two three-run homers and a triple.
 If you weren't there, you missed quite a show.
Not to be overshadowed was Dan, in his next-to-the-last game, who hit for
the cycle -- with a single in the first, homer in the second, triple in
the fourth, and double in the fifth.
May I continue?  I've-never-played-softball-before Bethany contributed
her part with 3 RBIs -- my favorite shot being over the head of the
shortstop, who was playing in and clearly underestimating her abilities.
Of course none of this is to take away from the team effort -- which was
nothing short of awesome.   Hats off to everyone!  

Doug

PS -- The timely last-minute arrival of the contigent of ladies was what
made the game possible.  Please come out....even if you haven't played,
we'll show you the ropes.

Hey folks,
For future planning...we're playing the Law School (for real, this time)
next week (Sunday) at 12:15.  After that, there's a mysterious two week
break until Oct. 27.
