I think Queen wrote that song for us...

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005 - The longest day of the year. The beginning of summer. The day the Refs stood still.

Team Devine's won the Durham Park and Rec's League Softball Championship. It was the bottom of the 7th, tied score 17-17. Jody Franke was on second base after a double. Aaron Stewart (i.e. the Stew) was up to bat. The left field foul line was calling his name. After a foul ball skirted the line, another bomb was dropped, but this time it was fair. Jody scores easily with Stew standing triumphantly on second. 17-18. Devine's wins.

Overall, there were both upsides and downsides to the game. We helped them with 4 or 5 outs in a few innings. Our bats fell silent for a few innings too. Carefree Ranch put up a fight though, coming back twice during the course of the game. But in the end, we were victorious. The PACKED stands erupted and to the beer we went!

It's kinda cool that our trophies will be up in Devine's until the place closes its doors. Our mark on Durham - because science definately won't be our lasting legacy here.

So next time you pass those doors on Main Street to watch the latest game or have a brew, look up at the mantle overtop the bar. That's our mark - and hopefully not our last.
















Do you think the cops were wondering why we were humping trophies while standing on a brick wall? Just a thought.
