Couch Win! Couch Win!

On a very cold night at Blumberg, Team Couch evened up their record to 1-1 with a solid win. Cooter was on the mound and held Up in Smoke in check after the bats of Team Couch gave the southpaw an early lead. Blackjack came in relief late in the game to preserve the win for the save.

The game was a low scoring affair for softball. Team Couch pitching had probably a record high strikeout total. I lost track at 5. C-Foot was his usually Gold Glove self in center field shagging fly balls like it was soft toss. Despite his great catches the highlight of the game was on the last out. Up in Smoke was mounting a comeback and with runners on a monster fly ball was hit to the gap. Kapower appeared to have a line on the ball but was a step or two late. He extended his long arm and threw out his glove in pursuit of the ball and then seemed to extend his arm even further and made the running stretch catch. His reach would have made Inspector Gadget jealous. It was a remarkable play and sealed the victory.

Team Couch looks to go to 2-1 next week under the lights again. Hopefully the weather warms up.
