Like many of its games earlier this season, March-Westin showcased its dominant force once again Monday night as they defeated Jackie’s Place extending their winning streak to 9 games.

If the players from Jackie’s Place were causing you to have uncontrollable flashbacks, worry not because it might not be because of the drugs you did in college. Many of the players are from the team that March-Westin defeated not once, but twice last fall to claim the Fall League Championship (and receive a 100% cotton championship T-Shirt and a very shiny trophy).

MW was at full strength for this game, with James returning to the mound and Tyler to left center. And with this traditional starting lineup MW set the tone of the game early, scoring 8 runs in the opening frame. In fact, Jackson started the game out with an inside the park homerun and the rest March-Westin did everything possible to keep pace (Jackson would later homer over the fence adding to his “Chasing Bonds” total).

MW displayed an unvarying barrage of hitting, perhaps thanks to the new bat that Coach Tom purchased for the team. Wimer and Dave contributed HR’s while many other MW players had long drives to the outfield wall, resulting in numerous multi-base hits. However, the new bat was unable to help James as he suffered the first strikeout by a March-Westin batter this season.

Coach Tom, who is also the teams financial advisor, in an uncharacteristic, but brief, moment of blind rage emphasized that the new bat was quite expensive and he would appreciate if no one threw it against the fence.

The infield (brought to you by the letter “J”) of Johnny, Jackson, Jonathan, and James stopped everything hit their way, killing any chance of Jackie’s starting a rally. The outfield also had a stellar performance, highlighted by Tyler who threw out a runner trying to advance on a hit from first to third.

The final score of Mondays contest was March-Westin 16, Jackie’s Place 6.

March Westin (9-0) will return to action on Monday, June 19th at 9:00 pm on Liberatore Field to take on Shockers (2-3*).

Chasing Bonds Update: Nick-4, Jackson-2, Amie-2**, Tom-1

**It has been noted by Coach Tom that these homeruns occurred in a girl’s game on a girl’s field. These allegations have not been confirmed by mwball.com.
