POTW: Terry Brasch

Red Rubber Lubbers

A true team player happened to be sitting on the pine Wednesday evening. He started out the season with a pulled leg muscle but still gutted out playing in all of the games. Unfortunately, the nagging injury finally caught up to him in the last game of the season. A key player on the Red Rubber Lubbers, Terry Brasch showed remarkable courage in the face of pain, both physical and emotional. The leg may have sidelined him but he was also forced to watch his team take the field without him. Although he was relegated to the cheering section, Terry has earned the Player of the Week for his steadfast team support. Congratulations!!

POTW: Adam Bryant

Red Rubber Lubbers

The second game of the day was an all out battle. Two teams with several veteran players matched each other run for run. On one side was the Red Rubber Lubbers; on the other side were The Bloopers.

Typically, you expect teams to start the season with great offensive prowess, and then defense strengthens throughout the season, but these two teams were already in mid-season form. Through the 3rd inning, the score was ties 1-1. Through the 6th, the score was tied 3-3. The 7th inning started to bring on the twilight of late evening, and the nerves of a tight game were apparent. The teams huddled, followed by some jockeying of their field players.

The Red Rubber Lubbers squeezed in a tight run to make the score 4-3 going in the bottom of the inning. The Bloopers put a couple of people on base with two outs. The pitch came across the plate, and the kicker connected with a laser back towards the pitcher. Adam Bryant jumped to his right hand side, almost going parallel to the ground, to snag the ball for the last out and saving any runs from scoring.

For his cat-like reflexes and jumping ability, Adam Bryant has earned the respect of his team, as well as, The Player of the Week Award.
