The Middlesex Panthers defeated Animal Is My Homeboy 10-3 last night, entering into a three-way tie for first place in the WAKA Massachusetts Commonwealth Division.
No. 2 pitcher Eric Pierce blanked Animal Is My Homeboy in four of the game's five innings and went 2 for 3 from the top of the batting order to lead the Panthers. Brian Kraemer went 2 for 3 with a home run and 3 RKI, while Yuval "Take This Job And" Shavit went 2 for 2 and Colin Steele added a 2-run double.
The win means the Panthers, Red Balls and Root Down are all tied for first with 2-1 records. Animal Is My Homeboy is in last place at 0-3.
"This game was our best yet," co-captain Steele said. "Everybody contributed, and it paid off. We still have a long road ahead of us, but if we keep clawing and scratching like this, we can keep our heads above water."
The Panthers had a small but strong contingent at the post-game celebration at league bar Joe Sent Me, where Amanda Wong staked her claim to the team's sportsmanship award with her, um, friendly gestures towards an Animal Is My Homeboy player.
When Panthers player Matt Gervais, who left the bar before said acts of sportsmanship occurred, was informed of what he missed, he replied, "Good God."

Yes. That escalated quickly.
I mean, that really got out of hand.
Is it worth mentioning the event that occurred during the game, at second base, betwixt Ms. Wong and said "Animal Is My Homeboy Player" , that nearly caused the pitcher to balk... and might well have done so anyway, but the Animal player at second was to engrossed in the goings on at her base to realize that she was being granted a base?
