Pumpers Drop Opener 14-11

May 7, 2010
True Pump drew a 9:15pm game against Goof Troop with no expectations except to weather the cool night and see what we have this year. Our opponent trashed us last year 25-9 and things were looking dim as Goof Troop took an 11-4 lead at the top of 4. We battled back with a bases loaded walk by Juan , a 2 run double by Kris and a 2 run game tying single by Ron . With the game knotted at 11 ,Goof Troop scored 3 times in the fifth as the clock expired. We did have last at bats and did manage to load the bases, but didn't score and lost 14-11. In their 1st games as Pumpers Anna Smith and Ronnie Lopez had 3 hits apiece. We do have potential, but we will have to minimize our errors and make things happen. The bottom line tonight was the 11 Pumpers stranded on base. We look forward to next weeks return of SS Bert Salter ,who was MIA in tonights contest.
