Last night the Possums started their Summer 2008 season off right with a 12-11 win over the GoNads.  The Possums defense was on last night as fantastic plays were made by Carrasco, Perez, and D. Bergin.  Although the bats weren’t really flying the Possums rallyed back in the 6th to win.

First game is tomorrow July 2nd at 9:25 PM at Hart Park!  Be there!

Terrible game for the Possums last night as they lost to “Too Dumb 2 Quit” 36-7. Errors were abound, although the scorekeeper only logged 3 errors for the Possums it was closer to 10 as every ball hit was an adventure for the defense.
