Rookie Reptile Sheryl S.(LC) caught her share as well, giving the Lizards the strongest left side defense so far this year.
"Hell yeah, I think
he's gonna fit in jest fine," observed the
coach. "Just when I thought I had seen about
every way to make every error in the book, the
Lizard heads in the front office bring me a new
first. I'm thinkin' we may retire his jersey a
little early in his career and send his butt back
to the farm, but if I did that the bus to the
country would be over crowded with Lizards and a
menace to the highway."

Defense
was the key last Wednesday, when the Iguanas held the Happy Hut
to a mere 15 runs enroute to a 15-5 loss. "Yeah it was the
dee-fense all right," quipped the coach. "First their big
guy hit it to de-fence, then their small guy hit it to de-fence
and then one of their ladies hit it to de-fence. We did everything
to de-fence except sit on it."
Several
Reptiles posted out of character performances in turning a would
be rout into a slight slapping. Former infielder turned outfielder
Will B.(LF), sucked in everything that came his way with some
spectacular acrobatic snags, missing only a couple of line drives.
On
the right side, ever dependable Mary S.(RF) broke in her new glove
with a catch in short right, while lefty Ray D.(RC) was in the
right spot at the right time
The
Lizard infield also showed signs of maturity. Ever dependable
Paul B.(SS) pounced on worm burners like a duck on a June bug.
Paul scooped up dirt bombs and brought down lofting luggies like
a man possessed. "Well I, uh I just felt really good out there,"
shared the short stop. "The ones I let go were just not
my style, and well I, I just didn't want to show up everybody
else 'cause I'm uh, well I'm just a team player. Yeah, that's
it, I'm a team player."
For
the first time this year, Iguana fans were treated to an appearance
by Lizard rookie Tom O.(RC). Recently off the disabled list, Tom
strode in with his recently healed left paw injured in a pre-season
domestic accident. The southpaw outfielder proceeded to misjudge
all Hut hits coming his way, but he did it with a certain panache
and savoir faire that Iguana fans have come to look for in their
team.
Cindy
Mc(C) received honorable mention for a game ball when she rapped
her first hit of the season to short left field. Cindy estimates
she spent a total of $1,185.25 at the local batting cages preparing
for the eventand hopes future hits come in a little less expensive.
