Hurtin'Units lose 25-15
Team Record 0-5-0
Dodge City- I could almost sense the vultures flying over head, waiting to swoop down and tear apart what was left of the Units after a vicious beating. Now don't get me wrong, the Units put up a hell of a fight, but in the end the Units could not overcome the strength of the lefthanded hitting Rounders.
I think that I would be overstating a fact if I said the Hurtin' Units are off to a rough start. We have never been in this position and I can't remember a losing streak this long. 
The weather in this game was not a friend to the Units and in fact it seemed to benefit the Rounders. The sunset really played havoc on the field and at times made it very difficult to see the ball coming off the bat and when it got up in the air...for getta bout it. The temperature during the day was about 28 degrees and with humdity felt like 31. The temperature dropped considerably by game time, down to about 18 degrees.
This game was played on Coventry #2,the umpire was Lou and the Hurtin' Units were the home team.
All but one Hurtin' Unit players was dressed for this game. Kevin was the only missing player. Our new player Joel H. was in the lineup. Joel was Coxy's replacement.Joel reminds Mike and I of a little younger, slimmer Kahuna.
The Hurtin' Units had a few wind assisted plays of their own, I believe Mike O., Art S. both had in the park homeruns. There may have been another(Esua maybe?).
This may be the Hurtin' Units start in the history of the team, this group of guys in no different than any we have had over the previous 4 seasons. We may not be tearing up the league, but I still believe we have a good roster and hopefully with a few tweaks we will find ourselves in the win column.
I'm going out on a vulturous sitting limb and making the bold prediction that the Hurtin'Units will make the playoffs despite an rough start.
Walk Watch- G-1, S-2, Beechy
