The Tides, despite missing their emotional leader, oldest player, normal second baseman, and best left handed hitter were able to pull out a big win in game one. The game was highlighted by OB's first home run since T-Ball, Monti's gutsy performance on the mound, Miggy (3 hits), Papi (3 hits), Tony and Stoney (2 hits apiece), and yet another broken bat by Stoney. Blaine was the tough luck loser and Brothers the hitting star for Natick. The favorite moment though was the 7th inning flyover by the Stealth Bomber, Flutie really can pull some strings, even though Phil thought it was a kite.

Game Two meant more heat, a little sloppier baseball and another Tides win. Iava and Big Jim Trevena earned the win and save respectively. Jason "El Guapo" Pithie had two hits, two runs, two runs batted in and sweated through two t-shirts in seven innings. Miggy and Iggy also chipped in with two runs batted in a piece. Special thanks to Doug Flutie who very graciously signed all autograph requests and posed for dozens of photos. We should all thank Doug for playing in this league he definately has given all of us a chance to play with a legend. On a related note, OB tried to follow Doug into the porta potty and luckily I was able to stop him before he embarassed himself.

It was free Scituate Tides autograph day on a sweltering sunday in Scituate. I signed two autographs (both checks to the umps) and Doug Flutie signed about 50 autographs. I guess he is more famous and sought after than the Tides. Rob Monti was a stud again on the hill, going the distance striking out seven and ginving up four hits. Tony Anderlonis drove in the lone run with two outs in the third, driving home Brian Cassidy. Blaine was the tough luck loser for Natick, as he was filthy all game long. Doug (he told me to call him that) was the hitting star for the Knights with two hits and a walk.

Classic pitchers dual. Jimmy McDonald pitch masterfully for Natick in a complete game shutout. The games only run was scored in the bottom of the ninth when pinch hitter Mark Gafur reached base on an infield hit, pinch runner Mike Baldner was advanced to third on a wild pitch and a FC. Then Doug Flutie's Line drive Sacifrice Fly to deep center plated Baldner giving Natick the 1-0 win. Great defense and pitching by both teams.
