Flames Ignite Offense in Summer Season Opener

The Flames won the opening game of the 2006 summer season 20-12, displaying their juggernaut offense which disappeared during points of the spring season.

Falling behind 9-5 at the end of 3 innings, the Flames chipped away at the Sneaky Deekers lead, culminating with an 8 run bat around 7th inning.

Anthony led with the way with a 5 for 5 day including 2 monster home runs and hit what would have been his third home run except for the archaic ground rules which stipulated that anything landing on the soccer net in right field on the fly would be a ground rule double.

The females also had a potential breakout game – Tanya (4 for 6), Kelly (3 for 6), AC ( 3 for 5). The team was minus the services of standout Julia Peters who was AWOL for the game and could potentially face fines in the kangaroo court.

The Flames will face tough competition in the Thursday Summer Intermediate A division, as 4 of the 8 teams advanced to their respective championship games in their previous seasons with 3 teams finishing first in the regular season standings.
