Last monday's home game against the Tiger Cubs was ruled a forfeit when the Cubs failed to produce the required number of players. Score that one 7-0 in favor of the Dazzlers, our first official league victory, though I think it is fair to say that all of us would've prefered to play that evening.
An intra-squad game at Finsbury Park followed that evening and showcased some of the skills we'd hoped to put to use against the Cubs.
Last night, we returned to Clapham Common South for an away game vs. The Beyond Bermuda Shorts. Despite the Shorts' fearsome longball attack (I lost count of how many long homers they hit to the deepest portions of, uh, Clapham Common), the Dazzlers survived a nightmarish 4th inning in the field (8 runs allowed) to win 15-12.
Mark Coombes was tremendous pitching in relief of Paul Tiu. Tiu, for his part, made a number of sparkling plays at short late in the game, and his 2-out, 2 run homer in the top of the 6th capped a wild comeback for the Dazzlers. And said game-winning hit wouldn't have occured were it not for Leanne Simmons' preceeding double.
