Today we had a double header against Boccenalia and Closer. We started about 2:45. Our first game against Boccenalia was slow. They never made more than one point at a time, and I'm not sure we made more than two either. They beat us 7-6. We did no better in the second game and lost 7-1. Again, they rarely scored more than one point. It was a knuckle-dragging game. We couldn't pull points out. For some reason whatever we did couldn't keep. They played well, but I think we could have beaten them but oh well. C'est la vie. Their captian did say to me that it was the hardest game they've had this season.

For some reason they drew a vase at the bottom of their score. Don't ask me why.



The 2nd game was against Closer, an older team. They had some pretty good rollers. For some reason, this was another slow, slow game. Lots of measuring and discussing. At one point I think they took about 7 minutes diiscussing one shot. Here's the reaction I got from Jay.



We weren't able to pull together for the first game, but part-way through the secoond we seeemed to find our groove. We won, but the third game went something like 4-4, 4-5. 5-5. 5-6. 6-6. 7-6.



We didn't finish until 7:00pm. Our two games took 4.5 hours. By the end of it, we were glad to have won our second game, but we were ready to be done. Gabe, Josh and I went to the Park Slope Ale House and got us some beer and burgers.

So, we went one and one. It's too bad we couldn't pull out both. There's always next week.
