Robots Softball

The rain apparently drenched most of the eastern seaboard just happened to miss McCarren Park, as there was not a drop of it to disrupt our games. We took advantage of this game by routing the Soft Spot Specials by a score of 23-8.

There were too many contributions to name, but among other things, it marked the return of Luis, who had a solid game at the plate. Bryan in the outfield made some remarkable catches which really kept us in the game. Also, thanks to Jessica for taking both sides of the Robots battery.

The win improves our record to 8-3, and because Red Star lost, we took sole possession of second place. Way to go, ‘bots!

Games will go on as scheduled. Please remember to bring three one-dollar bills.

We can expect some rain and thunderstorms  that could likely last for hours, and maybe even throughout the day. This could impact today’s 4pm game vs. the Soft Spot Specials on Field 2.

Your manager will inform everyone by 2pm, via email and SMS, whether our game will be postponed due to rain. Generally speaking, we only cancel the games if it’s actually raining during the game or if the fields are flooded.

In addition to email and SMS, you can check this website and our Twitter page for updates.
