They still speak of it, often in whispers. "April '97," they say. "The last time Saybrook lost a softball game." Then they—and when I say they, I mean Morse—all huddle around, sniffling, drooling, and trying not to contract ringworm from each other. That's what happens when you try to beat the 'Brook.

Saybrook softball played its opening game on Tues., Mar. 20, a game filled with great play in the outfield and infield, along with timely hitting. Of course, it was an intra-squad scrimmage. Berkeley was too chicken to show up. TD was too chicken to even scrimmage us. Meanwhile, we unveiled our own "secret weapon." To give you a hint, it's a senior guy, 6'3" with short curly hair, whose name rhymes with "Horn Bjerman." If you can crack that code, tough: you've still got to beat us.

We've also got newcomers John "Smokin'" Mochan '03, Becca "Natasha Bloom" Tucker '04, Lael "Cat-like reflexes" Harrison '03, and Nat "I thought about playing P" Rowe "baseball but decided I'd rather play for Saybrook" '04.

So we started off with 21 easy points this spring, which happens to be our best season. Do you folks want to play us, or are we really just gonna mosey off into the sunset, drinking from the Tyng Cup?
