Jagernaut "Back to the 80's" Week 4 writeup


Good morning fine people of the WAKA Peninsula league and welcome back to another installment of the Jagernaut writuep.  The 80s themed week got me to thinking (dangerous) and gave me the idea to start off the 80's theme the right way with a (semi-coherent) 80's themed writeup.  So, without further ado,  lets break out our BeDazzlers, put on those leg warmers and take a Highway to the Dangerzone.

Week 4 saw the Jagernauts facing another tough opponent in the Burning Bridges sophomore kickball squad.  The Jagernauts promptly lost the rock-paper-scissors championship and the game started with the Jagernats kicking at the top of the first.  The top of the lineup were no perfect strangers to the bases as Dan "Balki Bartokomous" Moore and Jue "Larry Appleton" Mazzitti reached on consecutive singles to lead off the first.  The full bases were cleared by Julie "Becky Katsopolis" Kittelson and Mike "Uncle Jesse Katsopolis" Seals.  (OK, Littell, cut-it-out with the nicknames now).  The Jagernauts took the 2-0 lead into the second inning.  At one point, Burning bridges got a run back with the Jagernauts leading 2-1 going into the fourth. 

The fourth inning proved to be Burning Bridges finest hour as they scored 3 runs off of timely placed bunts and bloop singles that found holes in the Jager defense.  The Jagers came back with one in the fifth, as Dan "Balki Bartokomous" Moore scored one to make things interesting, but in the end the Jagernauts ended up one run too short, as they lost 4-3 in week 4.

Said team captain Katie Litle after the game "They're a good team, and we are too.  I thought it was a really close and hard fought game."  Jagernaut short fielder Kathleen Krohn added "I just wanted to have fun out there, and I definitely did!"  

MVP of the week goes to Kyle Wright, who, in a perfect version of Don Johnson, proposed to Chicken Tetrizinis Janet Krenn right after we all went scuba diving in the Bahamas.  (For the record, that brings us now to 4 Jagernaut engagements...am I the love doctor or what?)  Congrats guys!


Ok now onto the greatest song of the 80's by far...
