Fozzies roll over the Green Team

The Green Team suffered its first defeat of the young Summer Patriot season on Thursday, falling to the upstart Fozzies, 6-4.

It was a tough loss for the EnvironMentals who went into the game confident after last week’s rout.

The first two innings were quiet, with the Green Team posting runs in each. In the fourth inning, however, as the Fozzies’ kickers got their second look at the Green Team’s pitcher, the light blue’s offense took off. Through strong bunting and some bad bounces, the blue team managed to bring home 5 runners, snagging the lead from the shell-shocked Green Team.

“It was crazy,” said a dazed Captain Eric, who had two errors in the inning. “I feel like Dan Uggla in the All-Star game. The ball was spinning. It was spinning!”

There was sunshine in the storm however, as the Green Team still managed to muster their patented spirit (loud, enthusiastic and slightly offensive), scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it close.

The game ended however, on a comeback line drive that the Fozzies pitcher held on to, though he is very probably sterile now.

Second baseman Elaine, who took the field with a bum GI tract, showed a lot of gumption as she managed to hang onto a line drive with only her elbows and her ovaries. On the base paths, a spectacular dive back to first to avoid being doubled up left Elaine with the dirtiest uniform on the team. These efforts earned this spunky player the vaunted Green Team MVP Cup™ for the day.
