a view of last week's game from someone who was actually there...courtesy of guest blogger
It was the latest game in Pahu history with a 9:40 start time. Some kind of timer malfunction pushed the Pahu Stadium lights back one hour. 9:30 gametime vs. HiTel. The Pahu family was sparse with only Jefe, Stephen, Rob, Meaghan, Jamie, and Devan on hand. Our new nemesis and last season champs, On the House, was partying major at the bleachers pregame and a very drunk sparkplug from their team, that Rob named Spitfire for the evening, was determined to recruit enough players for us to play. Even Rob couldn’t believe how drunk she was, and HE had already committed to not driving after the game (his truck remained at Pahu Field for at least 2 more days).
We finally got enough help and had 2 players from On the House and 2 players from Public Assistance join the Pahu family for the evening. And based on the pregame, Ipu Piha should have been the team name for the night. (Ipu means bowl and Piha means loaded)
Pahu came out swinging and took a 16-1 lead after the 2nd inning with 5 runs in the 1st and 11 runs in the 2nd. Devan brought the smoke on the mound, struck out 3 in HiTel’s first 2 at bats and kept them to 1 run. Then the pregame Ipu Piha crept up on #420 and the pitching fell apart. Inning 3: 2 walks led to 4 unearned runners with the Wahine follow-up-walks and HiTel scores 8 more. Pahu gets a few more runs for some security, but the pitcher went from a little too high to cottonmouth blind. Pitches were going behind the batter, over chucks head, falling 10 feet short, all over the place. After giving up another 2 walks plus 2 wahine follow-ups and a few hits the lead was in serious jeopardy with Pahu now up 19-15. Quoting Towlie with a claim of “I have no idea what’s going on” the pitcher pulls himself and puts in Jefe who gets the job done like he was peddling chicle to cross the border.
Ipu Piha wins 19-17
