Regardless of being down 2-3 on a perfect weather day, Sludge kept their spirits up with a let's-play-2 'tude. Where our opponents relied on the long hucks, Sludge controlled the pace and allowed the slight wind to pickup any cross field tosses out of bounds. Advantage…Sludge! In baseball terms, Sludge's approach was using the bunt and steal, hit-&-run and in general didn’t rely on homers to manufacture runs.
If baseball calls that “small ball,” then the stable offense on display shall be called AGLET.
Like CHOmPping down a tree, small bits powered brown to an 8-3 lead.
In football when there's a memorable play, an instant nickname is bestowed (Immaculate Reception; The Catch); 2 such plays happened in the 2nd half:
>Hangover: Trajectory, speed, distance - el perfect-o; Joe flung one that hung over the field from endline-to-end zone, where Nigel caught one for a sweet score in full stride.
>Nape: In another Nigel catch, Bucci pulled off the rare back of the neck of the opponent to perfectly popup in the air for an end of the game score.
Sludge won 15-8.
::Game 2::
Brown kept the good times flowin' to the chagrin of our archfriendlies. Great spacing and the ability of getting behind the defense, again, worked to Sludge’s advantage. All the way to an 8-1 controlled romp.
Our friends awoke from their sleEPApnea and made a pointed second half. Although their rescue package gained confidence, the Sludge caucus maintained the majority & denied the bailout.
Recap…
Start: 0-0
1st half scoring: Us +8; Them +1
2nd half scoring: Us +7; Them +9 .
End: 15-10
Analysts would say this proves the theory: You can't win a game in the first half, but you sure can lose it.
Notes: Grandma Char demonstrated excellent coverage.
For gender reasons, Sludge traded MattHew & gained a Mona.
