| Jay would be proud of us if he had watched the match. The outfield defense has improved by orders of magnitude, and the infield was almost flawless. If this slope of progress can be maintained for the remaining season, then I can already see us measuring GW by Doppler-shift measurements of softballs. The final score was 4:16, which means amplitude versus power, string versus brane, etc. So how can anyone seriously consider this a defeat? Still, some more practicing of our batting would not hurt. | Jay would be proud of us if he had watched the match.

Captain's analysis: After a fabolous first inning where our team operated like a softball machine, we somehow lost the grip and gave away a certain win. Heroic individual efforts could not compensate for our obvious deficits in batting for the rest of the game. Only superhuman will power made it possible to score another run in the last inning of the match. Unfortunately, we found out well after the game that the umpire has not even recognized the score so that the official final result was 5:23. In general, I think that it can be a good strategy to distract the umpire with violent body checks against weak opponents to do even meaner things elsewhere on the field, but we should try to avoid this in the future whenever we are about to score (unless a basewoman is standing between you and the base). I am almost certain that we could win games with our intelligence alone, but I would also be happy to see many of you at our next training session.
Notable efforts
- Stuart and Zach's outfield catches - nice work.
- Dmass telling the batter to hit the ball straight at him … and then having the ball hit straight at him.

G&Z's excellent catering. This dinner should be served every week.

Note the eyes intently focused on the ball despite the huge gash on the leg.
