Tuesday 8:00PM May 19th, 2026

It started out as a nice night for a softball game. I swear it was sunny and warm when I left my house, and by the time I got to Kelloryn it was cloudy, overcast and threatening to rain.

It was an omen of things to come, as Labrecque was nowhere to be found at gametime, thinking for some reason we played at 9:30pm tonight. Hey Mikey, here is how you can get the schedule to automatically update in your calendar bud: https://www.falconsslopitch.com/subscribe.php?year=2026

The show must go on, so the Falcons borrowed a catcher from Greenthumb and got to work. The away team scored four runs early, and the Falcons did not win the inning only plating 1. Donuts in the 2nd for both teams meant a 4-1 deficit after two.

Another Greenthumb delicious donut made for a quick top of the third. The boys in blue got to sticking in the bottom half, powered by an RBI double from John, and a 2 RBI DC triple. 6 Falcons crossed the plate for a 7-4 lead after three. The Taxman on the mound, and the Falcons D, held Greenthumb to a third delicious donut in a row, and only one for the good guys in the fourth, made it 8-4.

A big 5 run fifth inning from Greenthumb kept us on our toes, falling behind 9-8. The Falcons answered with 3 straight singles, a Taxman double, an Arbour triple, and Cowboy's second inside-the-park home run in his last two games. I say let's propose a rule change so they count as dingers in the league home run race! John got on base with a two bagger, and Barry knocked him home, rounding the bases and getting the send signal from whoever was coaching third at the time, only to get gunned out at the plate. 7 runs from the Falcons and it's 15-9 for the good guys.

2 more runs for the away team in the 6th is all she wrote, as it was donuts bottom 6 and top 7. 15-11 is your final. Falcons are 5-0, baby.

GAME NOTES: Every Falcon had at least 1 R and 1 RBI tonight... Labrecque's no-show resulted in some unique defensive substitutions... Falcons defense depth chart trivia time... QUESTION: Who is the 5th string Falcons first baseman? ANSWER: Somehow it's Arbour, who miraculously only bobbled one play, and thankfully didn't screw up TWO double plays from his much-more-comfortable-at-their-defensive-positions SS Grahambo and 2B John... QUESTION: Who is the Falcons 5th string Right center fielder? It's Barry who played pretty well at one of the toughest spots on the field, except maybe for one play where as soon as the ball was hit Dunner yelled his trademark "BACK!", Barry yelled "My ball!" and the ball sailed a good 6 feet over Barry's head, as you could hear Dunn cracking up laughing LOL... At some point BIlly tripped over Todd's leg rounding third and ended up with a sore shoulder, the Falcons ironman is currently day-to-day, but of course laughed off all of our concern at wondering if he'd be ok in time for Sunday's doubleheader... A player from the previous game lost his car keys, and for an inning or two was walking around the outfield at the beginning of play with his wife I guess. I briefly wondered why there were 6 people in the outfield at the start of the 2nd or the 3rd...

Wednesday 9:30PM May 13th, 2026

It was another freeze your balls off kinda night for a 9:30pm low single digit degrees May softball game. A few late signouts and a pre-game finger slicing that kept Barry away reduced us to 10. New draft pick Matty (that's the best I can do for a nickname for now, help me out here guys) waltzed up to K1 a batter or two into the game, which gave an opportunity to honorary Falcon Dan from Inglorious Batters, fresh off an upset of The Crew, to take a few pitches at catcher for us. Dan played for us 8 times last year. Beatty is your buddy working on a jersey for him, or what?

Shohei was a little cold and thrown off by the muddy mound area, giving up 4 runs in the top of the first to Coulas. Like Grahambo always tells us, we tried to "win the inning" but could only tie it with 4 of our own, highlighted by a Dunner 2 run jack. A few total runs in the next frame led to a 6-5 Coulas lead after two.

Beatty led off the bottom of the 3rd with a "Duncan" solo shot, and we finally took Grahambo's advice and won the inning 6-3, taking the lead at 11-9. A 5 spot in the 4th made it 16-10.

The open 5th inning saw 9 Falcons cross home plate, behind another Beatty dinger, this time of the two run variety; and a Stevie inside the parker that plated 3. 25-13 is your final score, the Falcons are 4-0.

GAME NOTES:Steve was a double away from hitting for the cycle, Beatty & Dunn both a triple away, Arbour was a double, a triple, and a homer away... We had a surprise visit from recently retired Falcon Jerome, wearing a very nice suit, demonstrating he clearly has more important things to do than play beer league softball. Of course we roped him into scoring for us while he was here... Speaking of retired Falcons, Ash piped up in the group chat and chipped in a photo of some injury of his own, that i intentionally immediately scrolled past. Learned my lesson after seeing Ash's pics in the group chat last year of the giant hole in his leg after a comebacker turned into an infection and god knows what else. Nice to see and hear from you guys! Once a Falcon, always a Falcon.

Monday 9:30PM May 4th, 2026

The Falcons kept the good times rolling on Monday night, beating the rebranded "Hanet Heat" 25-9 on Monday night, improving their record to 3-0. (I do not have a new logo so old Hanet plastics image it is for this recap)

Down 5-4 after two, the Falcons really got things going in the 3rd inning. Recent draftees Matt and John continued swinging their hot sticks (no Labrecque, that's not a dick joke!) with a walk from Matt and a 2 run dinger from John, his 2nd HR only 3 games into this WMSPL season. Doubles from Barry Guerrero Jr and Poutine, and a single from Million Dollar Bill plated two more. A Kevin single and a DC 3-bagger plated two more, capping of a max 6 3rd inning. A delicious donut in the bottom half kept the score at 11-5.

In the 4th, a Cowboy single and Grahambo walk, set the stage for Dunner's next at bat. Sean connected and hit one hard and deep (no Labrecque, again not a dick joke!)... which bounced off the outfielder's glove and over the fence! One couldn't help but recall this Jose Canseco defensive gem...



... was it a dinger? Would it count as a HR in the in-game plus 2 rule? Would it count towards the league's homerun total? No, no and unfortunately not. The ump immediately ruled it a 4 base hit and that it did not count towards the plus 2 home run rule. Dunner himself looked up the rule and sent it to me this morning, confirming from the WMSPL rules "Balls deflected over the fence by a fielder is considered a 4-base award and not a home run and therefore would not count toward the home run total." Well, there's no "4-base award" on this falcons site so it's a HR in this boxscore! A walk and a string of singles plated three more for another max-6 inning. With 4 Hanet runs in the 4th, it was 17-9 good guys.

The top of the 5th started with DC stepping up to plate and saying "Hey these new guys are great and all, but us old guys can still swing the sticks too!", depositing a "Grahambo" solo shot over the left-centre fence. Then an RBI single from Beatty, a two RBI single from John, and more RBI singles from Poutine, Billy and Shohei. A Kevin sac fly capped an 8th run top of the 5th. Then we either ran out of time or Hanet tapped out, game over, Falcons win 25-9.

GAME NOTES: Our newest Falcons Kevin, John and Matt are in need of nicknames... Kevin went 3 for 3 with 2 R , 3 RBI and a SF, putting to rest any questions about Cowboy's ringing endorsement... We had too many RBIs noted in the 4th, 2 out of 3 people in John, Barry, Labrecque got RBIs in the 4th but I'm not sure who did and who didn't, if you recall let me know, now I have them as Barry & Labrecque.

BATTING:
2B: Matt (2), Poutine, Barry, Kevin
3B: Cowboy, DC
HR: John, DC, Dunner (of the Jose Canseco on defense variety)
HR OUTS: None
RBI: John (4), DC (4), Dunner (3), Poutine (3), Kevin (3), Billy (2), Shohei, Beatty, Cowboy, Grahambo, Matt, Barry
