Sunday 6:30PM June 5th, 2016

Two Falcons left the game due to injury, but the 10 remaining players out-athleted the nine-man A's to give them their fifth straight loss on Sunday evening by a score of 14-9.

The visiting Falcons (see black pants) jumped out to an early 7-1 lead after two innings, but in the process lost Coach Shizzle to a hamstring injury while going first-to-third as a courtesy runner for The Legend. Shizzle had to be helped off the field, and The Legend became a courtesy runner for the first time in decades. Many decades. And since Shizzle was already running for The Legend, in an ironic twist, The Legend became a courtesy runner for himself!

A delicious doughnut for the Falcons in the top of the third gave way to a 5-spot by the A's in the bottom half, and we had ourselves a game. Unfortunately during the third inning, Fit-Bit aggravated a back injury "jumping" to reach for a ball that sadly didn't land in his glove. After retrieving it from the warning track, he ended his day making the throw to where he thought the cut-off man should have been. Goliath came in in relief, and the Falcons were down to the minimum.

Four more in the fourth, and three for insurance in the seventh inning, and the Falcons had won 5 straight.

Inside-the-park Home Run Watch: The last time a Falcon hit an inside-the-park home run was July 23, 2012. Shizzle won't be doing this any time soon.

Game Notes: Barry, who returned from the Amish country for only one night (due to a "computer issue", as in, he couldn't get on RedTube), performed spectacularly at third base, prompting Dinner, who I think LITERALLY CRIED when Cas said he was moving, to quip "Cas who?". Twice... Barry climbed the ladder to snag a line drive, showing off his 5 1/2" vertical... He can only do it once, though. He missed snagging an identical liner the next inning... Both game-ending injuries were to players who sloughed off the WMSPL Mid-Season Tournament, thus showing that karma will bite you in the ass... Be on the lookout for Poutine's version of the Kama Sutra. Per Poutine, it can be summarized in two positions:

Position 1: Turn on computer.
Position 2: Grab Kleenex.
