One up, one down for NL Post WWII

Pounding the plate with his bat
Spahn awaits the pitch
Spahn grips the bat handle
Spahn tells the umpire he's ready

This is a situation where the injury to
Perry is a problem. The Post Nationals
can't afford to go deeper into their pen
so they are going to let Spahn hit for
himself. This late in a tied game and
I'm sure they would prefer to pinch hit
for the lefty.

Here's the righthander's delivery
Curveball in the dirt
Swung on and missed...Strike three
Hays fumbles it,
but quickly recovers to tag Spahn
Two up, two down

Here's Potpie to lead off
the bottom of the 9th
He's the go ahead run
Jeeberoni is hitting at .290 on the year

Potpie readies himself for the pitch

Long fly ball to left-center
This one is deep!
IT'S GOING, GOING,
GONE!!!
That was a LONG home run!
The fans are going wild here in FOFC!!!
Jeeberoni Potpie has just won the game
And his teammates gather at home plate
They greet him as he crosses the plate!!!

home run of the year.

Kronside gets credit for the win
Spahn takes the loss
The hitting star for FOFC
