12 June 1997: Cyclones 7, HOMERS 23

From: Scott C Morgan

To quote Homer:

There are no compacts between lions and men, and wolves and lambs have no concord.

And so it was in the second meeting of the HOMERs and the Cyclones. It was clear from start who were the wolves and who were the lambs as the HOMERs quickly raced to a 10 run lead in the second inning.

The HOMER offense was in top form with everyone getting at least one hit. HOMERs were cracked by Ron (2), Tim (2), and Tony. Rich (Bullet) Benesh gets noted for legging out a double and then moving to third on a sacrifice fly ball in the fifth.

Defensively, honors go to Jeff (Ozzie) Osman, who in his first game playing at third base managed to "Richard" a throw to first (which was later retrieved from the street by the Cyclones). Jeff acclimated to his new position quickly after that, gunning down a swift Cyclone in the seventh inning.

Next week's game is on Tuesday on H2 against the IR Sox from D league. There may some tangled family relationships for this one so come out early. There will also be a post-game barbecue since this is the game closest to the Summer solstice. Everyone is encouraged to bring whatever they want to char - specifics can be coordinated with Richard.

Two upcoming HOMER outings:

August 9 - Angels vs. Orioles in Anaheim. Contact Richard for information.

May 23, 1998 - road trip to Santa Barbara, free food will be available.
