Photo Spread: June 4, 2008 game

Summary: By the bottom of the first inning, we were down, 5-0. Second inning, we were still behind. But then we pulled off an amazing comeback. In no time we had scored enough runs to tie the other team, 8-8. With the playing field once again even, Russ' took the opportunity and scored four runs, thanks in no small part to Home Run Kyle. To close the game, Russ' won, 8-12.

Injury Report: Nate falling down while catching a ball. Amy hit in the nose while catching. (After recovering for a few minutes she was good enough to come back to play.)

Why we won: The field was, once again, a little wet. Let's hope it is a very rainy summer; we win whenever our field is damp!
