Falcons Forum

Wednesday 9:30PM July 10th, 2013

The journey of a million miles begins with a single step. Thus begins Senior�s attack on Cy Young�s record of 511 pitching victories. After almost 30 years in the league, Senior pitched a complete game 15-hitter to earn his first win as the Falcons beat the A�s on Wednesday night, 6-4.

The Falcons (12-6) were riding a surprisingly short bench. The sign out sheet indicated that there�d be 13 Falcons in attendance, but late scratches Papa Bear (working� I mean, come on!), and Dinner (acting like the Sultan of Brunei, and picking up a fleet of automobiles) meant only 11 showed for this one. Speaking of no-shows, has anyone seen the umpire?

A couple quick bursts put the Falcons up 5-1 after two innings, and solid defence kept the lead. Goliath went deep, and Beaver and SLF both had perfect nights at the plate.

NOW THIS!



Game Notes: Dougothy did his best impression of Tank, trying to decapitate Goliath on first base with a line drive. The trauma briefly caused Goliath to forget which way to run� Seriously, where was the umpire?... They mowed the outfield!... At this rate, it�ll take Senior 14,790 years to match Cy�s win total� The replacement umpire did a commendable job, much better than DA in the playoffs last year. At least Aaron didn't wear flip-flops...
