Still Going

NFL, built up of a generation of Nahanters.  These generations come around once every decade, when it just so happens that mothers on the island decided they were going to conceive a bunch of beer drinking, blue-collar, softball players.  This team is all of that, conceived in the late eighties, with one goal in mind, a NSL Championship.

Facing another similar generation (much like NFL, supplemented by some Swampscottians and Lynnards who have spent enough time on the island to be fathered in), of players conceived in the early seventies.

Galaxy continues to snooze on the defensive side, behind their hall of fame pitcher, to drop another, five to zip.

NFL is a sizzler in the summer heat, holding an 8-0 record and the league lead for runs scored and runs against.  A workhorse of a team, who is a mere games away from clinching a top three playoff birth, looks poised and polished, after years of alcohol abuse.

In a game that wasn't supposed to happen due to a tornado, two middle-of-the-pack teams met up in a barn burner.  The Gulls, always competitive, looked to continue a brief win streak and start to make some real noise.  The Brickyard, sorry, Lynn, at this point looks more like a squeaky wheel than the bass drum they were a few years back.  D. "El Rojo Tortuga" Barile had ice water in his veins in a close matchup that was very important for both clubs.  Brickyard threatened to come back in the bottom half  of the seventh, but were stymied by some good Gulls Defense.  Gulls take the game and move up, nine to seven.

Cy Young you ask, P. O'Leary, a front runner at the jump, is metsa, metsa after the first half. J. Moleti, looking to put the Moleti name on the brass again, is currently a runaway favorite.  B. Serino with four wins is in the mix, and D. Barile with one of only three winning records garners mention.
