| vs Bloordale AA | 21.08.24 | 8-7 Win|
Just when we thought the season was over for the Socks of Martin, they dusted off their bear spray and nunchucks to host an exhibition bout against the AA Bloor-dales.
To keep their opponents on their toes, the homeboys employed the age-old strategy of throwing their lineup into a blender and hoping for the best.
At one point, I’m pretty sure I saw the home plate umpire wandering around in center field. It was the ultimate game of "Where’s Waldo?"
Luca, who hadn’t pitched since he was in 1st grade, took the mound while Paul, Finn, and Desmond tried their hand at catching. [luckily not at the same time]
Martin’s boys held their own against the Dales, with Luca's awesome double, rest of the team showing patience at the plate, and some sneaky base running, they led 4-1 after 3 innings.
The men in green chipped away, eventually taking a 2-run lead in the last inning.
Enter Fionn and Finn, who came through in the clutch, each singling to bring in 3 runs and seal the Walk-off Win.
Blender Game Stars:
Luca: 2 hits (including a double), 2 RBIs, 1 inning pitched with zero's across! 👀
Fionn: 3 hits, 1 RBI, 2 innings pitched with only 1 earned run.
Jeremy: A head-first slide to steal home.
Finn: Walk-off hit with 2 outs.
Is this the last game of the season? If it is, what a way to go out.
