The Light Bulb with Anne, Rex, and George
A: Hi, our beautiful listeners. This is Anne Hargraves of the Charles River Trio, and you are listening to our weekly post-series wrap up show, "The Light Bulb." I'm here with my handsome hosts, Rex Goodman and George Cooper.
Rex and George, we watched this Institute League series this weekend at Valentine Detective Agency Field where the host Starlight Lady Killers win only one of three against the visiting Sunshine Tidings Chemists. The Chemists improve to 16-17 on the weekend, while the Lady Killers are now 18-15. Starlight remains in second place, while the Chemists move themselves up into a tie with Concord for third place.
R: It was an effort in valiance for the makers of chemical properties.
G: I have no idea what valiance is, Rex, but I agree.
A: We've been broadcasting the late games almost every Saturday, so again we are going to rush forward with a light bulb round of awards. Rex, start us off.
R: There must be a name for borrowed names, but I cannot recall the parlance of the situation. Anyway, the Sportiest Sport this week has a name that rings bells for some, conjures images of cherubs and golden harps for others. And that Sportiest Sport is the home team's Jesus Church. In Thursday's game, Church contributed a double and home run despite the Lady Killers' 6-5 defeat. He also accomplished the walk-off hit in today's victory for Starlight.
G: I get to present this week's Outstanding Pitcher as I do every week that I am not presenting the Outstanding Player, who is almost always not a pitcher. This week's best pitching performance came from Tony Fusion of Sunshine Tidings. In 8 innings pitched, he allowed four earned runs on eight hits with three walks and six strikeouts to improve his record to 5-3 on the season. Great job, Mr. Fusion.
A: Thank you, boys. I will now name the previously mentioned Outstanding Player Award. This week, the award is Sunshine Tidings left fielder Amari Nukes. In three games, he batted 7 of 13 with a home run, a run scored, seven runs batted in, and two walks.
That will wrap up our wrap up here on "The Light Bulb." We are staying in the Institute League next week when we will watch the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud for the first time this season. Unfortunately for them, they are in last place in the league with a 13-20 record. They are hosting Starlight, so we get to see the Lady Killer two weeks in a row, and the Lady Killers will try to use a series against the sixth place team to make a move on first-place Abernathy, who leads by three games with a 21-12 record. Abernathy swept Concord this week.
You fellows know I like men, so let me cut to the music with Betty Hutton and "It's a Man." Some of these boys in baseball uniforms
are men! Hit it, Betty!
