And that's how you open up a season

WWSB started it's defense of three league championships Friday March 14th against the queen of beers. WW has done a pretty good job of handling Budweiser in the past and this past Friday proved to be no exception. Every WW player in the lineup reached the plate in the first inning putting the game out of reach for the brew crew. The game was highlighted by a breakout out performance by Big Daddy Rik. Riky went 4-4 with at least 5RBI and made a spectacular diving catch in the centerfield gap to rob extra bases and also had an outfield assist. I was nice to see Rik hitting P rods again as this will help boost the lineup while WW waits for Chris W. to come off of the disabled list. Next week will be a off week for WW and then we will take to the field again March 28th against ESI who has always played us though in the past. Questions surround the pitching staff as both Mike and Pete will not be available to make the start. The coaching staff may have to look to the young phenom JW to deliver Friday night. This would bring Rik in from the outfield to play short. Either way you slice it, the shorthanded WW team will have their hands full.
