For the games, try to wear a gray or white t-shirt/sweatshirt. However,
it isn't a big deal if you cannot.

We only have one game on Thursday evening. It begins at 6:30pm. We are
the visiting team (we use the dugout on the third base line), playing
versus Reliant on Butler #2. The game should be over by 7:15pm. Please
be at the field no later than 6:15pm (you'll definitely want time to
warm up). I will be there by 5:45pm. I have to submit a lineup card
before game time, so you need to be there before I submit the card.
Here is the batting lineup for the game:

1- Newton, LF
2- Bonnie, P
3- Cory, RCF
4- Leslie, 3B
5- Jon, DH
6- Leigh Anne, 1B
7- Neil, SS
8- Christina, RF
9- Jim, 2B
10- Carrie, LCF
11- Brian F, C
12- Tammy, DH

Abbreviations that might be confusing:
DH - Designated Hitter (no fielding)
RCF, LCF - Right/Left Center Field
SS - Shortstop

My apologies to those males who wanted to play on Thursday but are not
in the lineup. I first put in all of the guys who didn't get a chance
to play in our first official game. Then I put in the guy (Cory) who
was DH for our first official game. That only left one open male
position (the DH), which Jon is going to play. By the end of the
season, everyone should have played in the same number of games -- don't
worry, I'm keeping track.

Also, *please* attend the game even if you aren't in the lineup. We may
need to make last-minute substitutions (we did last time), and it would
be nice to have 1st and 3rd base coaches who are not also in the batting
lineup. Plus, it's nice to show support for the team.

I'm also going to put the above information on the web page. Call or
e-mail me if you have any questions (work: 838-8842, home: 707-8614).
