Phillies Suffer from High Humesmidity and Heat Strock

The defending champion Red Sox continued their recent winnings ways Sunday with a 21-3 victory over the visiting Phillies. The Sox were led by the sizzling bats of Keith Humes (3 hits, 2 runs, 5 RBI) and David Strock (3 hits, 4 runs, 4 RBI). In total, the Sox tallied 18 hits and 9 walks. The Gentleman Gary Dubas added three hits and Matt Right Guard LaBuda's batting average is barreling toward .400 after his two hits. Michael Craig, Humes and LaBuda combined to hold the division's most prolific offense to 3 runs.

Team Notes:

• Bill Miller stroked two doubles Sunday which again gives him the highest total on the team (6).
• Lance Strous still leads the team in just about every other offensive category.
• Contents of Curt LaCoe's baseball bag: batting gloves, first baseman's mitt, stickum, a phone with a missed call from Dick March, Fig Newtons, autographed picture of Wayne Newton, and an AARP card. (Correction: a phone with two missed calls from Dick March)
• Humes relinquished the team lead in fans when 26 Scrantonians poured out of Lauren Craig's minivan to cheer for Mike. "We were so happy to hear Mike was getting the start on the same day we were in town. What a lucky break," said some Craig relative.
• This author promises to lose the puns in next game's headline.
