The Falcons spent the top of the first racking up runs, then the rest of the game racking up pizzas on a humid evening, beating the shorthanded A�s, 11-2.

The team exploded early, scoring all of the first four batters. Dinner lead off with a double, followed immediately by Raver-Tank with a single. Then as if by script, Don�t call me Dick drove them all in with a rave-worthy towering home run to left-centre field. Beaver followed that up with a porter, noting �Don�t put me in the cleanup spot if you don�t want me to hit it out!� Having already achieved the +2, the Falcons made the decision to keep the ball in the yard. Cashley was a big proponent of that plan. So much so that he decided he didn�t even WANT to make contact with the ball, resulting in a three-pitch K, costing him a full pizza. �I was thinking too much about this rave I�m going to this weekend� he explained. The Falcons completed their seven-run first inning with a two-bagger from Rookie #1, a walk from Thirteen Dollar Bill, and singles from Senior and The Legend.

The Falcons (3-2) spent the next 6 innings falling all over themselves and having a hell of a time getting out of their own way. It seemed like any time the team could get a runner on, their thoughts turned to the rave, and the next guy up would hit into a double play. The A�s turned four twin-killings on the night, resulting in 1-1/3 pizzas for Sunday�s coming feast.

In spite of the offensive struggles, the defense shone. The Falcons turned a double play, and held an admittedly short-on-power A�s squad to only two runs.

The victory puts the Falcons in the win column for the first time this road trip. They�ll finish the four-game swing on Friday night with a trip aboard FALCONS1 to Rebelville, to try and salvage the split. Then on Saturday: Rave night. Where�s my white pants?

Game Notes: The Legend learned about raves .�It�s like a drunken barn dance, right?�� Rookie #1 visited Iron Mike Murphy�s second garage sale this month and was rocking the gray pants. �I even got �em dirty!�� We had our first skeeter sightings� The humidity was so high that even Don�t call me Dick�s hair was frizzy� The weather data previously reported in these recaps has been from whitbyweather.com. I just figured out that was the weather data for Whitby, UK� In a related note, I�m not being paid for these recaps�
