great scott! redwolves trying to eat bananas!

Hey, that was the truth tonight at Grayson Stadium, as the Savannah Bananas hosted the Florence Redwolves.
There was even a banana-eating contest before the game - bananas covered in hot sauce - and the Redwolf gobbled up the most and won!
But that was not a harbinger of things to come.
Time after time, the bases were filled with Bananas who safely came home!

Scott was there, working his magic to insure a win.
Pistachio in the mouth for each man at bat? Check!
Finding a heads-up coin in the stadium?
Check... and it was a penny!
That led to an explanation of my copper theory, in that energy-composed beings, like angels and spirits, are able to move a penny into someone's path because copper is an excellent conductor of energy.
He really liked that! (smile)

So, two things to point out here.
Number one: Mister Willie was absent.
We were still sitting in his seat, plus one, but he was
not well enough to attend.
Hopefully he will be here next week.
Number two: I was kept pretty well occupied during
the game, as Scott keeps up a steady patter, but I did
manage to catch the runs on film.

For instance, in the above photo, that's Bill LeRoy,
catcher for the Savannah Bananas.
He was coming in for the first run for the home team
in the first inning.
(Rafi Vazquez scored the second run that inning.)
In this photo, that's Bill LeRoy coming home again,
this time in the third inning, for the third run.
Now, wouldn't it be cool if he scored in the fifth?

Well, hold on to your cherry ice cream!
That's exactly what happened!!!
This photo shows Mike Williams making the first RBI from Jake Sullivan's single, with Bill LeRoy hot on his heels for the second RBI.
That gave us runs four and five, respectively.
That means Bill LeRoy made all the odd-numbered runs in the odd-numbered innings.
What a coincidence!

But notice one more thing: the configuration of the lights in the outfield.
They are the same for each of these photos!
Plus, the trio of shots clearly depict the passage of time between the five innings.
I just love when I spot patterns like this!
It's so gratifying to the puzzle-solving analytical chemist in me!
(smile)

Here are two more pictures in that same vein.
This was the fifth inning, when the boys of summer
had the bases "filled with Bananas"!
That was before Mike and Bill - and Rafi Vazquez, too,
on a wild pitch - came in for their runs.
(That brought the score to 6-1, home team advantage.)

Three innings - roughly an hour - later, the bases are once again "filled...with...Bananas"!
As the crowd goes wild, Austin Thompson brings in
David Nanny and Ethan Baucom!
Thompson himself scored by inning's end, thanks to
Gabe Howell's double.
What a delicious romp over the Florence team!
And how very cool that these lights played along!
I know I could not have arranged such symmetry or such coincidences on my own and am delighted to have been gifted with these images.
i thank You, God!
