GSHAS Fall #7, #8
Tough night yesterday with the injury to Chaz. We split and lost the second game to a good hitting team. We’ll get them again in a couple of weeks and will be ready to play better. The first game started with our top 4 hitters getting out followed by 11 straight hits, then an out, and then 9 more hits. Wow!! Jesse had three monster bombs and there was solid hitting up and down the lineup. Chaz’s HR was something else.
The games took second fiddle to Chaz’s injury. I’m glad I didn’t see it- it was bad enough to see the faces of those who did. Thanks to Chris W. for his help in getting Chaz some urgent care at the field. The whole scene was a bit surreal as Chaz was all geeked about the HR and seemingly oblivious to the injury. Bad ass!! Happily Chaz responded with an update and I talked to him today. His injury required 13 stitches and he is now on the road to recovery.
Here are this week’s points. Thanks to Ron for providing postgame beverages and snacks. As always feel free to comment, correct, add, etc. Also, since we have single 8:45 game next week, perhaps Chris W. could provide some post-game beverages?

Guys, Thanks for your concern. I appreciate your help (kudos to Chris for the ambulance) and for thinking about me. I spent yestrday at home, but I’m back in the classroom today. The kids were very excited to hear about my stitches. Some even wanted to see them (sorry, kid, you’ll have to wait). I’m limping along, but I should have the stitches out in 7-10 days. Unfortunately, I’m probably done for the season. On the up side, it’s nice to go out with a homer. I’ll try to make it to the final game for moral support. I don’t want those guys to think they got the best of me. Thanks, again. And, Jon, I do not for a second begrudge your decision to send me home. An inside the park homerun is a rare feat for me. I’ll trade a couple of stitches for that. I’m just sorry we didn’t win.

Chaz, good to hear that you are on the road to recovery. I know we’ll all look forward to seeing you out at the game on Wednesday.
