I can not believe what I just saw!

In what is being described by some as the greatest game ever played in the history of the franchise the WWs softball team erased three seperate deficits to defeat Last Call and take the outright lead for Plano’s Men’s A Friday League 81138. WW got down early giving up 4 runs in the first and then failed to score a run in the bottom half of the frame. After holding LC scoreless in the top of the 2nd thanks in part to the head games of TJ Campbell, WW missed an opportunity to cut the lead down and hung up another zero. It was finally in the last half of the 3rd when the WW bats woke up and put six runs up to take a 6-4 lead. WW however was unable to hold on to the lead and again found themselves trailing 7-6 in the bottom of the seventh. Somehow the lower half of the WW order was able to scrape a run together in order to tie it up and send it into extras.
In the top of the 8th with two men on, a LC batter hit a sinking liner to left. Brian Macek took an aggressive angle in order to make the catch but lost the ball at the last minute. All runners scored and WW again trailed. Needless to say… Macek will have Boner of the week honors.
The bottom half of the inning had Macek leading off. Eager to atone for the missed line drive Brian led off with a double. Pete followed with a solid base hit moving Brian to 3rd. With Runners on the corners the Byron popped out to left center allowing Brian to score and Pete to advance to second on a pure hustle play by Pete. Scott then popped out to left center giving WW it’s second out of the inning. Still trailing by two JW stepped to the plate. Another basehit put runners on the corners for Mike. A sharp line drive platted Pete and somehow Mike ended up at second. With two on and two out and down by a run, the weight of the world was placed on Ralph Starr’s shoulders. What happened next is a moment that will live in WW history. Ralph singled up the middle off of the shortstops glove and drove in the tying and go-ahead runs. Mike and Ralph are this weeks co-players of the week.
After the game we sorted this all oout at hooters before we started drinking but in case of any mistakes please let me know and as always don’t pay attention to any spelling, grammatical and mathmatical mistakes.
