The Green Team started the season off right with a convincing win over the underdog Green Monsters on Thursday. The 9-0 score was a huge morale boost to the team which, despite a hard-fought match, went down in the first round of playoffs last season.
Offensively, the EnvironMentals (I just made that up) flexed some offensive muscle (no, not that muscle) in the first inning, plating seven runs. RBIs by BK, Jen, Pete, Elaine and Eric helped the Green Team climb through nearly half of the kicking order in a single inning.
Pete had the boomshot of the game. Drawing on the power of his newly minted (and storied) tattoo, the storm chaser found a gap in right center for a bases clearing triple. His fifth inning line drive snag cemented him as top choice for the season’s inaugural Green Team Game MVP.
The Green Team showed their continuing improvements in the field with solid defense that stymied the green Green Monsters. With strong play all around the infield and effective pitching, the outfielders didn’t have much to do as the number of Green Monster runners who reached could be counted on one hand that’s been too close to a cherry bomb.
After the game, a large contingent of the Green Team made it to the bar where they managed to get an L-shaped flip cup competition going against the Green Monsters, who were looking for retribution. Revenge was not to be had, however, as experience proved the master of innocence as the EnvironMental crazy train kept on rolling.
The night ended on high note for all teams involved, however, as an unprecedented full bar flip cup race brought no less than five teams together in raucous competition. All in all, a good start to the season.
