The Hitmen (8-2) got by What's Poppin' (8-2), 16-14.
It was three weeks since I last played in this league. I played right-center field for the first time and had two big put-outs in the final inning in a one-run game. Too easy.
A holler to Sam for some great-pitching. He got major help behind him with some very solid infield play, primarily from Stevo. As for the outfield, everyone was solid except for Edgar who dropped three fly-balls. The ball kept poppin' out of his glove as if some poppin' device was secretly inserted in his glove. Very strange.
Anyhow it was good to beat these guys. What's Poppin' is the biggest-mouth trash-talking softball team ever and it was good to whoop on them and shut them up.
Batted: 3 for 4.

LBC (5-3) wins. I did not play. I was in Chinatown for the Chinese League doubleheader.
Thanks to Ronnie for filling-in for me. I'll be back next game, thank you very much.

NotGuilty (1-7) loses to Denglaw Center (2-6). This is terrible. We were up 10-0 to start the game and then things changed. We started to miss defensive assignments, miss layups and open jumpers, and turned the ball over a kazillion times. I played miserably.
We lose by double-digits.

NotGuilty (2-7) gets a win in the second game of their doubleheader against United Pacific Bank.
Even though we were able to pull this one out, it was an ugly game. I believe we won by three points and they had a shot to tie the game with a three-pointer in the corner with about 12 seconds left. Fortunately they missed. If the game had gone to overtime and we had ended up losing the game, I'm not sure if we should ever be allowed to play in this league again.
Somehow someway we blew a twelve point lead with about :50 seconds left in the game. For some unknown reason our players kept fouling the other team in the backcourt sixty feet away from the rim, putting them on the line for free points with the clock stopped. It's as if some of us had money on the game and wanted them to cover the spread. Ridiculous stuff.
As for the game, it was Killa Kev's game (for some reason he is Adrian Magniza in the box score). I'm not sure how many threes he hit but I kept driving and kickin' it to him for the 3-balls. Solid shooting. Any kind of solid anything is good enough to win games in this league.
I've never said this before because I wasn't there for the first game but "Not Guilty Wins! Not Guilty Wins!"

NotGuilty (3-7) wins in a halftime forfeit by Monkey Ballers. We were up by ten points.
There's nothing to say here except that we're actually good enough to beat a team with four players in one half of play. Sweet.
