Home plate eluded Unum hurlers all night as Fresh Cut batsmen dodged called strikes and avoided swinging at garbage "curveballs", drawing countless walks while topping insurance giant Unum 19-7. Travis Meek again provided fireworks with a towering bomb to left, and Don Couture's timely swats proved pivotal in a seven run 4th. Gavin McCarthy toed the rubber for yet another win, though Fresh Cut faithful have started a bottle drive to buy the hurler a new pair of pants.
Two Fresh Cut runners were cut down with malice at home plate, including Mark Bower (thwarting a home run effort) and Josh Thompson on an ill-advised sprint home. Rumor has it that the command to turn for home came from the Fresh Cut bench, rather than the fingered base coach at the time.
Not lost on this columnist is the pure irony of beating a team using their own bats. Truant gamer Lucus "Too Busy" Ritchie forgot to equip the visiting Fresh Cut crew with the carbon nanotube technology that has been integral to Fresh Cut dominance. Ritchie's agent released a statement saying he was "too busy with work" to drive the bats to the game, however an anonymous insider in the Ritchie camp remarked that "well, that Riverton field is just to f---ing far". In the end, Unum lent the hometown pride three bats - two of which were dead and dented - putting Lucus in a position of near permanent ridicule. Fortunately for Fresh Cut - and for Senor Ritchie - hits flowed from the third bat like jello shots at the Halloween party, turning a potential loss and lifetime of "too busy" jokes into a solid W.
Fresh Cut looks to continue their winning ways Monday night at Payson.
