The Ground Pounders finished the 2015 with a big landslide win to claim the C Division - B side championship!!!
In slo-pitch action tonight I was hitting behind a guy and he outright CRUSHED a homer. There was a hill in the outfield and he put it over that. I'm batting after him thinking, how do I match that? So I hit a screamer along the left field baseline, past the left fielder and I got a home run too.
