mars vs The Holy Rollers of Harvest Time

Pretty sure this is the first write-up. They developed in length and content as time went along!

April 20, 1992

(apologies that the stats look like they were formatted by a drunken sailor. Working on that!)

Mars and Co started the season right where it left off last year, winning in extra innings.  Without any pregame batting practice, the bats started out hot with 10 runs in the first four innings opening up a commanding 10-3 lead.  Al “Crispy” Carmona decided that the game was in hand at that point so he left for Rio, taking the bats with him.  Our dominating defense also falterHared and let Harvest Time score 5 runs in the sixth and two in the seventh to send us into extra innings.  Both teams went scoreless in the eighth.  With daylight running out, Mark Magers Leaguer led off with a solid single.  Ron Walters got on on an error and Brett Spanky Reiner singled home the go ahead run with Dis going to third.  Steve Rio Healy got the job done hitting a long fly ball to score Ron.  Romeo Anderson grounded to short for the second out, bringing up rookie sensation and Game MVP, Mike “Where should I hit it this time” Laub (3-4, 4 RBIs and 2 intentional walks).  Afraid of his bat which had crushed the ball three times, and dribbled one to the pitcher’s mound, they walked him, to get to Rob Thumper Thuemmel, who only lived up to his name be getting thumped by the casinos in Atlantic City earlier in the day.   Thumper ground out to end the rally, but the Mars defense held on for the nine inning victory.
