The League Bowling Pin with Anne, Rex, and George
A: We had a late one tonight thanks to the radstorm that blew through Abernathy Farm today, but it is now a final. The Abernathy Adamantium beat the Lexington Synths 6-2 at Tato Field to take the Institute League series two games to one. And now we’re pooped. This is “The League Bowling Pin.” I am your host Anne Hargraves, along with my favorite two guys, Rexie and George. Let’s talk baseball.
R: Anne, we saw today that the dominator quite often dominates. Abernathy is the dominator of the Institute League. The Synths may need to reconsider their team name and logo at this point.
G: It’s like the Synths should be the Sh***, am I right?
A: Well, George, since we are past midnight now, why don’t we move our show along. Can you tell us about the best pitcher this week?
G: No problem, Anne. This week we have an easy choice. The Top Pitcher this week was Game 2’s winner, Joe Penaltybox. He pitched a complete-game shutout for a 6-0 win in Game 2. In the game, he allowed six hits and struck out 12 batters. The 12 strikeouts is the record for the Institute League.
A: Thank you, George. Now for the Sportiest Sport. Rex?
R: Indeed, Anne. Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
A: Rexie!
R: As you may know, there were no true comebacks. Therefore, I will select my Sportiest Sport as the person who hit a late game-clinching home run. That person is Lexington’s Tyler Ross. In Game One, he single-handedly destroyed the Adamantium by hitting a three-run home run and driving in five of his team’s six runs in a 6-2 victory. The young lad Ross is this week’s Sportiest Sport.
A: I will now choose the Outstanding Player of the week. We agreed not to select the same player for any of our weekly awards, so Penaltybox is out. Therefore, I will select Abernathy Farm’s Chris Hirshfield. The Adamantium left fielder hit 4 for 11 with two doubles, a home run, and he scored two runs, drove in six runs, and walked once.
We are in the need for a long nap this evening, so we are cutting our show short this week. Next week we are going to visit The Slog to watch the 13-11 The Slog Ghouls take on the 11-13 County Crossing Bloodbugs for a Brotherhood League game. George and Rexie, it will be our first trip back to the Brotherhood League since our two-week bender with the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys.
R: Fondest of times. Greatest of times.
A: From the Charles River Trio, from WRVR Radio, from our sponsor for this week, ‘Abernathy Farm. Tayto. Tahto.’ Also, make sure for your next visit to Abernathy Farm that you try Trixie’s Melon Slush, ‘When you don’t want to walk tomorrow, Trixie’s Melon Slush.’ That is all from this week. Now, Cole Porter, “Anything Goes.”
