The Streak Continues
Team Chaos extended their winning streak to four games last night with a 10-6 victory over the Grace Warriors. This puts the team’s season record at 6-2 and keeps them firmly entrenched in second place in the ultra competitive Thursday Co-Ed D-Rec league, with the playoffs only a few weeks away.
While the Chaos pulled out a relatively easy victory, the team continues to battle injuries. On the positive side, Brett McInnis took over his usual position at shortstop after several weeks of rehab on his injured hamstring and All-Star pitcher Cydney Moora continues to take the mound each week, despite playing with a broken hand. On the downside, the team may have lost infielder Chris Cantzler to a potentially season ending knee injury which occurred while playing in a competitive soccer league. Team officials seem less than pleased with Cantzler’s injury situation.
“Every player is expected to steer clear of non-softball activities that carry the serious risk of injury,” said Manager Kacy Manning. “Our player contracts specifically prohibit activities like skiing, football, soccer, motorcycle riding, bull fighting, playing Nintendo Wii, skydiving, alligator wrestling, pole vaulting, playing Catch Phrase, and swimming with sharks.”
With two games remaining in the regular season, the team faces a number of key challenges heading into the playoffs. Can the players avoid any additional injuries? Can Jamal Parker and Brian Chase continue to produce highlight reel catches in every game? Will Aimee Taublieb keep terrifying opposing teams with her blazing speed on the bases?
Next week the Team Chaos takes on Ben Franklin Elec for the first time in both teams’ histories. It promises to be a monumental grudge match between two teams that have never met before.
“Just because we haven’t ever played this team or met any of their players, it doesn’t mean this isn’t a historic rivalry of epic proportions,” said Team Chaos co-Manager Jaclyn Charles. “If the team needs any extra motivation, I think this is the team with that one guy who did something early this season that I heard was really aggravating to everybody in the league…or maybe that was someone on our team…I’m not sure…but, I do know we really want to beat Thomas Jefferson Elementary…or whatever their team is called again.”
