Left is Right on Tuesday Night

I'm always right.

Let me explain. You see, when driving, I always favor right turns over left turns.

Why is that, you ask? Well, I worked a backbreaking job as a box loader at UPS for a couple years. While there, I learned all about the UPS philosophy, including no unnecessary left turns.

As UPS states, “Left turns mean idling, which increases the time a route takes. Left turns mean going against traffic, which increases exposure to oncoming cars. Right turns are faster. Right turns save fuel.”

My philosophy is that there is only one place where left turns are always right – on the softball diamond.

The Cougars were determined to take many lefts on the base paths to deliver a truckload of runs and dispatch the first place Tappers.

The Tappers came out driving the ball in the first inning. They scored three runs on hits by Wally, George, Sean, and Ryan (with an airmailed triple!).

The Cougars were not intimidated against the league’s top team and packaged three of our own runs on hits by Boom, Rads, Martini, and Joker.

In the second inning, our foe hauled in two more runs on hits by Kevin, Brennan, Wally and Irvin.

We were scoreless in the second and then brokered two more runs in the third. Boom and Rads led off with consecutive hits and were moved along by Martini, JD, and Joker. All tied up at five.

Tappers tallied another run when Nes led off with a hit and was shipped home by Joe, Brennan, and Wally.

Even with the new blue calling a tight zone, Brennan and Martini were top notch on the mound backed by stellar defenses. Over the final three innings both teams got stuck in traffic and only got one hit each.

The Cougars ran out of gas and lost 6-5.

Even in a loss, the Cougars are still the best package in town.
