March-Westin faced off against team WKKW last night as they extended their spring winning streak to 4-0, defeating WKKW by a final score of 24-14.

Once again MW was plagued with absences, although nowhere near as severe as last week.  Rob was able to join the infield once again and Nick returned to the mound.  On top of the absences Dave was unable to get to the field because of security delays at the airport resulting from ravenous fans begging for autographs.

With MW short an outfielder WKKW had no trouble finding gaps in the defense, scoring 7 runs in the first inning.  However once MW was able to field a full lineup the scoring quickly subsided.

Nick had the only home run of the night.  Mark was a solid 4-5 at the plate.  Dave went 2-4 on the night while Tom was a disappointing 1-4, tying up the race for batting average bragging rights between the two teammates.  Jeff, who didn’t strike out a single time last night, was an impressive 3 of 4 with three doubles (one of which included a premature HR celebratory trot when he bounced one off the left field fence).  All this while playing through a testicular issue that was first reported here.  The MWBall staff asks that you keep Jeff in your prayers as he battles this difficult and embarrassing disease.  We should all be thankful that he is willing to share the news with us.

Jared is scheduled to return to the lineup next week.  There have also been rumors that someone named Jackson will be joining the team.  At the time of printing MWBall has been unable to confirm these reports.

Homerun Chase – Nick – 3, Jennings – 1, Wimer – 1.

MW travels to face Brew Crew next week at 10pm.
