Griffons continue CCSL lead by beating the ZOO

Welp, Ray finally showed up.  Still recovering from his "surgery," our fearless captain led us to a second victory.  The Griffons started out slowly but their bats finally showed up and they came back in the fifth for the win.  There were a few moments of doubt in the 3rd when the Zoo was up six runs but the Griffons rallied and thanks to some of their all-stars they ended up beating them 14-7!

Once again two notable Griffon newcomers came through in a big way with clutch two out hitting.  Once the Griffs got started they were hitting one to eleven but it was on the backs of a two run home run by Jeremy and a two RBI double by Lisa "Left Eye" Maita.  The Griff's stud secondbasewoman, Janette, dominated defensively, duh, eating up everything that came her way.  All-star Barb (in between apologies to the opposing batters) pitched extremely well, yet again.    Frank did his best amidst gulps of G&T to cheer the team on and keep morale high.  Coach Solis turned some heads in the 7th with an unexpected pinch hitter.  New Griff, Teyona, really showed up with a single and scored shortly after to pad the lead.  Her dedication to getting a piece of that ball was stellar and helpful for the win.  Bryan Rice was there.  In the end though it came down to the unparalleled score keeping abilities of a one Cara Croke.  Without her unmatched recording skills the team would not have come out on top.

On deck the Griffs go against P&P.  Keep the momentum going Griffs, stay at the top!

Until next time, Game Speed.
