Game Four Preview: Hustlers

Game Four: BORP (2-1) vs. Hustlers (1-1)
When: Monday, June 18 – 7:30 PM
Where: Some wet and soggy field in Central Texas
Television: Nope, not this week.

Game Preview: Both teams are coming off tough losses to Bush’s last week as BORP stands just percentage points ahead the Hustlers in second place. So, in short, like Ron Burgandy, this game is kind of a big deal.

Team Preview: Whether or not the Hustlers are named for the hustle they show on the field or a bunch of hustlers in the local pool halls after a defeat, one thing is for sure, the BORP is going to jump on them like a vicious, prancing, purple, panther kitty. I have no idea what that means.

Hustler Player to Watch: Emily Gipe. A former Baylor softball player who is actually not playing for BORP, “The Giper” is an extremely competitive person with plenty of speed. A force on the bases, nobody is really sure what “The Giper” can do at the plate; because, well, and I do not know how to put this, she never saw a plate appearance while wearing the Lady Bears uniform. Sad times.

Even sadder times is Emily is leaving the city of Waco for Florida later this month. Super sad times.

Prediction: Hustlers will put forth a good effort; however, there ability to put up crooked digits on the scoreboard out in left will be far surpassed by BORP’s ability to do the same. BORP 17, Hustlers 4 – 5 innings.
