Monsieur Twarr, first name Victor

After weeks of futility, close calls, scraped knees, burst hamstrings, and dashed hopes, our 0-and-3 record had us seeded quite low in the end-of-season softball tournament. Expectations were low. Consolatory beer was already purchased.
But no!
As Douglas MacArthur once said, "Someone sucked worse than we!"

I only went 2-for-4, but my towering drive to right field that the opponent somehow dropped when he lost it in the sun, clouds, or his glove, drove in the final two runs to "mercy rule" us to victory, 13-3.
Which means we play again tomorrow. Against some undefeated team who had a bye.
But still!

Consolatory beer never tasted so good as when drunk in the shadow of success.
