Clowns Batter the Bats, Forget to Duck Against the Mucks

In the Opener, Lee "Royale with Cheese" McDonald led the charge with a 3 for 3, 4 RBI performance and a team wide solid defensive effort resulted in the Clowns winning a seesaw affair against the Buhrow Brothers Bats, 10-7.  Joe "Mama" Calvano continued to impress at short and Sean "Puff Daddy" Greeley played with reckless abandon at second.  

The nightcap was an instant Shalom Classic.  The Clowns overcame an early 5 run deficit to snag a 10-5 lead.  With time running out, the Muckrakers put up a 13 spot to apparently seal the deal - but wait, the Juggalos managed to score 8 in the bottom of the inning, all scoring with 2-outs, to knot things at 18.  It wasn't until the 3rd extra frame before the teams scored again - with the visiting Rubber Ducks plating 5.  The Clowns fought back with 3 of their own in the bottom of the frame before finally succumbing.  When it was all said and one, the MuckerDuckers notched 23 runs while managing to score in only 3 of the 8 innings.  Regardless, this bunch of Clowns could be proud of never backing down as they lived by their motto "the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

Class Clown:  Sean Greeley - 7 for 8 with 5 runs scored - including going 5 for 5 in the nightcap
