The Fresh Cut gang took to the Riverton diamond against Unum only to witness the umlaut-laden insurance peddlers jump out to a quick 4-0 lead by the top of the 1st. Several profanity laced tirades about the garish royal blue Unum jerseys were barely kept under wraps through four innings before the real mowing began and Fresh cut struck for a near dozen in the 5th to skunk the city's largest employer, 18-6.
Future barrister John Pottle - boasting a half dozen festering knee sores from multiple dives at hot shots into the hole at short - patiently drew a natural hat trick worth of walks, nearly staging a free-pass coup-d'etat and tearing the team walk lead away from starting pitcher Gavin McCarthy. McCarthy improved to 5 - 0 despite a plate performance described by a local beat writer as "akin to Helen Keller with a groin pull".
On the positive side, wooden bat pioneer Jon Aromondo deftly swatted a pair of solid liners to pop his average well north of the Mendoza line, and Mark Bower went "the other way" on an inside out swing for a graceful Ty Cobb-ian double while collecting a trio of solid hits.
Unum's collective defensive guffawing aided the Fresh Cut cause, but even error free ball from the defending league champions would only have netted several more stat-padding at bats for the Fresh Cut regulars.
