After his minty green Izod showing last week, the Cougars submitted Preschlack's new outfit to the website hotornot.com.

With almost full attendance, we also decided to turn in our team picture from last night.
The pretty play of the Cougars was the big winner last night. We were so hot we could have beat Robert Bunsen's team.
We won 4-0 on solid defense by the entire team. Shutouts don't happen very often around here. Of the 60 total games played in the league this season, there have been only seven shutouts. We have two of them.
On the offensive front, we torched our opponent in the third inning.
Lipinski led off with a blazing single followed by a Flannery fielder's choice. Hoglund smoked a single to place runners on first and second. Melchiorre hit a sizzling grounder and moved the runners to second and third. Next up was Fortier, who blistered a hard shot to left field, which scored our first two runs. Then, back to back scorching singles by Boomgaarden and Radtke gave us a 4-0 lead.
Of course, the Cougars had to give our wonderful fans in the stands some drama.
In the bottom of the seventh, Gulliver's first hitter had an infield single to the hole between second base and short center. After receiving the throw at first base, Danielsen smartly tagged the runner after he jerked towards second base. Crucial first out.
The next batter hit a ball to deep left field. That was not a smart move. Otsuka doesn't miss. Two outs.
The next three batters for Gulliver's all singled but were unable to score because our outfielders had laser throws back to the infield.
Bases loaded. Two outs. Tying run at the plate. Heat index 104 degrees. Martin rocked his arm and placed a sweet arc on the ball to McDonnell behind the plate. The batter scalded it to Bobis at second base, who threw it with heat to first base to put out the fire.
Cougars win!

If our fiery play continues in this sweltering weather, the Cougars may shed some clothes next week and give a whole new meaning to hot streak.
