Hot Hot Hot (1987)

Ole ole - ole ole / Ole ole - ole ole

Me mind on fire, The Ship on fire, feeling hot hot hot.  Well, party people, even with the long layoff The Ship continues to be hot, as we cruise into the playoffs.

The long trip to the match didn't seem to upset us, as we all arrived early.  But jetlag must have been a factor, because we dropped the first three game of S501 before Rich and Andrew righted the ship with some wins.  We ended up S501 down 4-2, but we were just starting to warm up.

Despite a chilly breeze from the open screen door, the start of Cricket lit a fire under us.  John / Fred set the pace by cruising to two easy wins in the first match-up.  Rich / Rebecca and Andrew / Roni were able to split their games, giving us 4 points in Cricket and pulling The Ship back into a 6-6 tie for the night.

While The Ship intently debated the ramifications of the phrase "I'm hot, you're hot, he's hot, she's hot," Roni / Andrew kept fanning the flames in the first game of D501 with a quick double-in and an easy victory.  Fred / John continued their perfect night with another win in Game 2.  Although Rich / Rebecca dropped the final game, The Ship still sailed away with a 10-8 win for the night and capped the evening with a victory shot (has John created a new tradition?).

Props:
Fred / John: Undefeated in 6 games together this season.
Andrew: 3 for 4 on the night.
