The Duct Tape with Rex, George, and Anne
R: Good afternoon, my trusted friends of the Commonwealth. This is your capable host Rex Goodman broadcasting to you live from Hubris Comics Park where the Starlight Lady Killers defeated the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud by the score of 9-6. With the win, the Lady Killers have won the series, two games to one. George and Anne, your take and awards?
G: I can't say this weekend was surprising. We predicted that Fort Hagen might take one and that is just what they did in Game 2. Otherwise, these two teams are on the opposite side of the Instittute standings. We did not have great pitching this weekend. but one player seemed to do best of them all: Starlight's City Moore. He won Game 1 to move to 3-3. He pitched 8.0 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 8 hits with no walks and 5 strikeouts. So, that makes City Moore our Outstanding Pitcher of the Week.
A: We also only had one comeback to qualify for the Bottoms Up Award for the week. This week it was more of a process than a one-hit wonder, so I will nominate the grandest of those hits. And this week, that player will be Seth Dungan of the Silver Shroud. In Game 2, the Shroud was down 8-7 in the bottom of the 8th. After Bixton Moore doubled in Jason Niederer, Dungan tripled in Moore for what proved to be the winning hit in the 11-8 win. Here's to a symbolic pat on the backside, Dungan.
R: Thank you, my contemporaries. The distinguished award for Most Outstanding Player of the Week goes to Starlight second baseman Wild Cannon. The wild child of the Wastelands had a most successful week with 8 hits in 15 at bats, three doubles, 4 runs, and 4 runs batted in.
That is now the
finis to our show, "The Duct Tape." Next week, we will visit East Boston Prep and watch the Assaultrons take on The Slog Ghouls. I think George, Anne, and I will also have to spend some time at Easy City Downs to watch the mechanical beasts race to glory.
Since we are headed to the tracks, let's end this broadcast with Wynonie Harris and his gambling tune, "Grandma Plays the Numbers":
