Game 5
GAME #5
It was a hot night. It was a humid night. It was a sultry night!
Rain fell hard in the form of full gallon buckets of torrential sweat cascading off of each players brow. The outfield was more like a gulf swamp filled with pestering flying pests. We combating softball teams were forced from the familiar grounds of our usual field to a make shift alternate.
But we weren't deterred!
Multigrain fought this day against a worthy rival in the Cannon softball team. The match was an uphill battle with Cannon's deep bench and even deeper batters "pitched" against Multigrains (most of the time) in-fallible defense and persistent base hitting.
Leads were kept small and short lived. Cannon's infield was solid, forcing Multigrain to step up with blistering base hits and sacrifice fly balls. The Multigrain outfield was solid but even our overlaying web of coverage couldn't contain a few of Cannon's Cannons. Multigrain managed to keep an edge over Cannon untill the final inning when they blasted in runs with some very impressive long balls to tie the game. Multigrain had but one chance strike back........ and strike back we did.......
Some guy, named Erik Michael Illies, had been filling the opposing defense with a false sense of security with his consistent ground balls to the third baseman. This brought the outfield in very close each time he was up, which some rumor is exatcly what he intended. In his final at bat the infield positioned themselves for a double play with runners on first and second, and the outfield shortened up the right field and tightened the left. With the pitch in air (EMI) shifted his batting stance, opened his shoulders, and unleashed the fury deep into right field over the fielders head and drove in two runs. The hit could would have been a triple, but overzealous base running got him out at third. But the damage had been done, the game had been won, and a merry time was had by everyone... except Cannon who lost.

Game 3
GAME #3
June 1st..... the first day, of the sixth month, of the first time Multigrain would play against Forum in 2009!
The Multigrain team was anxious, eager, hungry for the match. The team assembled and with our powers combined we made Captain Wellhausen and his mighty cadets of batted crusaders. Forum listfuly limped lazily on to the field narrowly before this memorably match among men was to begin.
Our offense took the field with an intensity only shared by our impenatrable defense. Seth "aint no mountain high enough" Mountain dotted the skies with rounds of homers. Ryan "batting like bonds" Barry tangoed a titilating twosome between himself and the outfielders with his swith hitting. Lea "lofty softy" McRoberts kept the opposition guessing with her full swing bunts, and un-predictable lazer base hit rockets.
Defensively, Matt "the towering" Havalander set the bar high and the pitching range even higher with a spirit breaking NO HITTER!!! He went on to celebrate by getting 5 girls numbers, signing a few autographs, and posing for GQ!
Final score: 26 - 16

Game 2
GAME #2
Multigrain was coming off of a week break due to a rain out when they took the field against, what some considered, the mightiest foe. Of course I'm speaking of the infamous Gray Design Group.
In other match up's they were averaging between 20, 30, sometimes 80 runs a game... but that didn't phase the Multigrain Team. We stood tall and battled among giants (i.e. the suspected former minor leaguer's on their team who happened to be very tall and could hit the ball into the next fields infield). If they took a run, we took a double. When they stole a base, we capitalized on an error. It was glorious!
Once the dust of the assumed massacre settled the score stood at 11 - 3. Multigrain may have come away from this match defeated, but our spirits were still high for having held a goliath at the gates and allowing him fewer inches than most.
The words of Dennis Quaid (lesser talented actor/brother of Randy Quaid) come to mind;
"We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! Today is our Independence Day!"

Game 1
GAME #1
Passions ran high and expectations were great.
Small bands of men and women set out from various groups around the city to descend upon the park named after the grove beneath the tower.
It was the beginning of a new year of YAFSTL softball and the Multigrain team prepared for greatness........
Multigrain vs KAI:
Multigrain's defense was like a well masoned brick wall, exposing no cracks or fatigue from settling. At the helm of our intensely offensive defense is Matt "the towering" Havalander, who threw dangerously arced lazers that dive bombed the strike zone. Anyone lucky enough to catch a piece of Gold Dot was quick to find out how Ashley "no balls get past me" Ball got her name.
Offensively we bombarded the friendly skies with a range of lead off skyrockets (mat) and towering Havalander Homers! Seth "ain't no mountain high enough" Mountain contributed to rbi's and with an all around solid contribution from the entire team Multigrain delivered KAI with their first KIA of the season.
