Game 7: H-W Demons 16, Waterkotte Construction 8
In the mudpit formerly known as Upper Moorman Park, the H-W Demons continued their quest for their first ever Division V title with a tidy 16-8 victory and a season sweep of the Waterkotte boys.
Just like the last time we faced off, the Demons were in control all game long but couldn't put together the 10-run win.
There were plenty of highlights - both at the dish and on the field. An inspired Kriss Kross (did he get some the night before?) played his best game of the season. He made a diving catch in center field, which may just be the web gem of the season for the Demons. (Of course, he made like a European soccer player in the World Cup after falling down, taking at least a minute to get up, milking the Oscar-award winning performance). He was also spry on the bases, actually running around in the slop and giving it his all.
Kriss Kross must have been inspired by watching his homies (the U.S. Cooler Boyz) fall to 0-for-2007 with a 10-run loss to the Merry Beavers. (Props to roid boy for going oppo field for a dinger during the Cooler Boyz' game. Hopefully, the feds come calling again.)
The Demons scored seven first-inning runs to make sure there would be no doubt about this one. Eric B. led off with an inside-the-park homer. Shawny continued to put on a hitting display never before seen in the Division V ranks. He nailed a three-run dinger in the first and later hit a ball that landed near the new Best Buy later in the game. The H-W's best part-time hire ever, even if he is a Cubs fan.
DOB made his triumphant return after a brief hiatus. He went 1 for 3 with an RBI. His true value was with his glove though. DOB made like Tony Pena behind the plate, snaring a foul pop-up with flawless technique and also tagged a guy out at the plate after taking a BB from Kriss Kross. The guy was only out by about 70 feet. DOB is now 9 for 17 with three runs scored and eight RBI.
No real shenanigans to speak of tonight. The only thing that came close was when Marky Mark hit a pop up between the pitcher and home plate and the pitcher and catcher laid each other out with a brutal collision.
Oh, and Weamster became the first person in the history of Division V softball to actually check his swing on a pitch. Then he went on to counsel others how to hit. Thank you, captain.
We'll try to make it eight in a row next week when we try to take out the winless Cooler Boyz. Game time is 7 p.m. at Wavering.
Until next week.

You forgot to mention Jim Howerton getting MVP honors by finding the stone from a ring under the bleachers. This AFTER several beers during the post-game victory celebration.
Now THAT is what being a Demon is all about ....
