Team Couch player/manager, Cooter sent another Couch ace to the mound in MARBLE league action last night. Herschel Bolstien III got his first start of the season and pitched out of early first inning trouble to lead Team Couch to it's second win of the season. A 16-5 victory over the expansion Home Brew squad. Bolstien attempted the complete game but a late rally by Home Brew forced BlackJack to come in for the save.
The win is the second in a row for Team Couch and sets a franchise best 2-1 start to the season. The bats came alive early in the game resulting in an early lead that was built on slowly throughout the contest.
Last night's game featured the debut of Steph. A free swinger at the plate and a creative fielder at second base. Steph made probably the first and only 4-1-3 put out in Couch history last night. The play was fun to watch but not something she plans on doing again. The timing of Steph's debut was fitting as Lan Lan pulled up at third base with a sprained ankle early in the game. She had just smacked a double and was advancing on the next hit when she injured herself. She was carried off by her husband, Cooter, somewhat romantically or maybe better described as awkwardly. She is listed as day to day. No word on Cooter's back this morning.
Team Couch looks to build on it's 2-1 start next week. They may be without Jerry Can as JC is scheduled to depart to Afghanistan for a Nick Carter Spy novel type adventure. Either that or office/project management work in air conditioned quarters. Whatever role he fills he will take his Team Couch winning ways with him to do it.
