As Woody Allen once said "90% of life is just showing up." Of course, the other 10% is doubling out... and bull. So, because the Imports only exported 4 people for the match, we got 6 points on forfeits and coasted to a 12-6 victory.
But that recap hardly sums up the night, as there were many highlights despite the fact that there were relatively few games. First off, Nikki underscored the importance of showing up by notching a S501 win, a C3, and a D501 forfeit win in her first match of the season. [So off the schneid.] Plus, Holly and Rich kept their undefeated streak intact by scoring 2 more Cricket wins. And, Fred racked up 188 more AS points, surpassing his total for all of last season in only 3 weeks.
But the rooks really stole the show, with a huge win in D501 to close the night. While we were guaranteed an overall victory, we needed a win in the final game to score a huge moral victory. Jen stepped up and doubled in on her third dart to start things off, just ahead of the Imports, who doubled in on their next turn. You would have never known they were rookies, as Jen and Meredith then proceeded to knock down points like it was their j-o-b. Meredith then slammed the door shut in her first shot at doubling out.
And then, as has become our custom, we went out to a piano bar and sang "Sweet Caroline".
Props:
Fred - For passing Frank on the All-Star list.Meredith / Jen - My heroes.
