FUMC score early, often

Another cold and rainy night for church ball, and the FPC loyal took the field against team FUMC/Rodda Paint. Rookie Zach Shearer towed the rubber, and was not intimidated by a sponsored team. As FPC would come to know, however, FUMC brought it. They would score runs in every inning, to eventually down the Presbies by a score of 18-9.

This was the first game in which Roman Bucholtz (article author) would insert himself in the line-up, going 3-4 with 3 rbi's. He would also misjudge a deep fly ball, slip, and not be able to recover the catch. The play resulted in a minor back injury, which reminded him of why he is the manager and not a player.

A First on the season, FUMC hit an out of the park homerun against Shearer, bring the total amount of outside the park homeruns hit against FPC to 1 since its inception.

Stacy Keogh provided some fine defense at second base, and a late rally almost saw FPC tie the game. It was not to happen, but effort was high all around for the team!


Join us on May 18th at 6:00pm at Fort Missoula Field #1as FPC takes to the road against FUMC/Rodda Paint, and looks to avenge its lose!
