7/11: HI and tight

with socks held high and musubis in our stomachs - Na Pahu made a triumphant return to action in the Citywide Softball League.Things were looking bright early (literally - our first game under natural light) as Chuck rolled up with a sarcastic 'hey, anybody lose some bats?' and busted out our long lost bats - left for dead - with a greasy grin. I'm sure there was a bit of awkwardness in batworld as the trusty red-handled wonders - spending three weeks in a strangers' truck sharing space with a bunch of invasive reptiles - now saw themselves resting next to 'The Warrior' and 'The Maverick'.

Umi Kumakahi were a formidable collection of ringers (the other coach was introducing himself to all his players before the game)...but were still one wahine short. Unfortunately, for the sake of sportsmanship - coach had to pimp out ass coach for an inning. Luckily it was a quickie trick - one and done - and back to where she belonged. Na Pahu was chock full of new faces - and good lookin' ones taboot. All-star performances were had by all the Na Pahu virgins - Allison, Lindsay, Elizabeth, and our Polish sausage - Leo.

undoubtedly, everyone finally got around to reading the book that i handed out at the end of the last game because our defense was flawless...truly unbelieveable and inspiring (Chuck was impressed). with all that said - we still lost...but it couldn't have been closer as we were tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 5th inning. Umi Kumakahi dropped in a few dinky pop flies and all of a sudden got real serious and cruised around the bases scoring 2 in the fifth. However, Na Pahu stood strong and had the winning run at the plate in the top of 6, but just couldn't git 'er done.

final score: Umi Kumakahi 3 - Na Pahu 1

...word on the street is that the team we play next week sucks.

love,

coach j, ass coach nic, jefe ramirez
