MBC & Company barnstormed over to Bainbridge Island to play the Spartens on Sunday and came home with a win. Short regular players due to injury and Memorial Day Weekend travel plans, MBC added three ringers to their roster, Nephew William, the fourth Lane quadruplet Kyle, and a player so cool that like Sting he only goes by one name - Tim-O.
In a holiday mood, and ready to showcase their deep talent to the Island crowd, MBC used nine pitchers and two left handed catchers over the course of ten innings. A sharp eyed spectator may have even noticed a left handed second basemen.
MBC let the home to score first (a common practice of flashy barnstorming teams) and then quickly roared to a 6-4 margin in the "regulation" contest. Then, again in true barnstorming practice, MBC allowed the home team to score four charity runs prior to their departure letting the home town team save a little face.
Big bats abounded in the regulation game. Joe "birthday boy" Carey belted two hits, including a double, and the other Joe, Joe Eskenazi duplicated this hitting feat. Both boys added hits in the following game. Thomas Carey also received a clean single on his birthday.
In other big hitting news Eddie Lane started his run for the team RBI crown by belting two clutch singles and driving in three of our six runs in game one. Arther Lane added a hit and the game was stopped when we presented Daniel Hunt the game ball for his first hit!.
