It was a calm, cool fall evening at Live Oak field for Smells Like Fish, Tastes 
Like Chicken’s second game of the season. No one knew what to expect coming off of last weeks stunning extra innings tie game, but everyone in the stands could tell this was a new team. Just by the looks of it SLF was out for blood. They all donned a new uniform that made the opposing team fear for their kickball lives. If this game was based on uniforms alone, the Pee Wees would have lost 100 to -50, although their tuxedo t-shirts did say they wanted to be formal, but they were there to party too.
The top of the first inning was uneventful to say the least. The Pee Wee’s couldn’t get anything going against the beast-like defense of SLF. Sure, they reached base a couple times, but they had no chance to make it home. The bottom of the first inning, however, was pure kickball magic. Leading off for SLC was Jason “the b-boy”. He ended up kicking a single to somewhere in the field. Something else happened after that which brought up Nick. Nick was able to kick an in the park home run. This brought the score at the end of 1 inning to SLF 2 – Pee Wee’s 0.
The game would pretty much stay locked at this until the top of the third. The Pee Wee’s had runners on first and second with 1 out when a kicked ball in the infield brought up a highly contested call. SLF lucked out with the enforcement of rule: Article 3.14.7, paragraph 39, sentence 43 of Appendix 92…..when a ball is kicked in the infield, and 5 of the defensive teams players all huddle around said ball, it must mean that the runner from first base got hit by the ball (own team Indian Rubber), and it results in a double play. Good thing for SLF that the umpire is well versed in all the rules and regulations.
The bottom of the third saw Jason reach base again on a single to somewhere in the field, Nick got yet another single, and Bernie drove Jason in. This brought the game score to 3 – 0.
The rest of the game went on uneventful on the scoreboard, but nobody can deny that
fact that SLF is just better than everybody else. Some of the highlights not listed in the game summary: 1) Polly getting slide tackled by a wildebeest at first base (sorry for partying), 2) Emily getting tripped by a pissed off base bag, 3) Eye Black on every player, 4) Leila going BALLS DEEP, 5) Jason headhunting looking for the teams first Indian Rubber.
These are things that cant be taught in 3rd grade P.E. class. These are signs of true champions, the best of the best.
To sum up let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said..."I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."
