You couldn’t have asked for a better day of matchups in the People’s Baseball League this last Sunday on a gorgeous Labor Day Weekend afternoon with barbecue smoke from not one, but two barbecue pits wafting through the Louisiana summer. Thanks to Weebie Mike and Mary friend of Rougarou for all the delicious grilled victuals.
12:00 The Weebies finally put together a win against the late-rallying Crete Street Riot. They couldn’t rally enough, though, and the Weebies knock one in the win column. 5WW (6) – CSR (4)
2:30 A close match between the Pelicans and Secret 9. S9 got an early 1-0 lead, but Dan April changed the momentum of the game with a 3-run home run that rolled onto Roosevelt Mall and superb pitching through 9 innings. Pels (4) – S9 (3)
5:00 The game of the week between the first (Parleaux) and second (Rougarou) place teams met with much anticipation. The Green Machine continues to grind its opponents to a pulp. They do it with a shutout this time. Undefeated they are; lose they do not. Par (7) – Rou (0)
We would also like to acknowledge the three guys from the Blues who umpired all three games. That may be the first time one person has called balls and strikes for all three games in the same day–commendations to Bryn Stole. We don’t know your names, other guys from the Blues, but we appreciate you. #umpirelove
