Loggers and Lagers log first LowBall tie, 21-21

 In a seven hour epic, LowBall witnessed it's first night game as the Loggers ended their 4 game loosing streak, sort of, drawing a never before tie with the Loggers 21-21. The Lagers were well on their way to their 5th straight win, leading 16-7 going into the bottom of the ninth. In the failing light play became difficult for both teams especially the batters. Desperate to not loose their fifth game in a row, the Loggers donned night vision goggles provided by the local Voyeur Club which the Surgeon belongs to. The Lagers who, as everyone knows, are not into peeping objected wildly however, LowBall Commissioner t ,who was in attendance, ruled that there were no League rules concerning increased vision enhancement. His on the spot ruling stated, "I have seen players play in self-induced blindness, often even better than when (they were) straight. We will resume play."

The Loggers rallied to score nine runs in the bottom of the ninth, however, the Lagers could not see the ball, other players, or scorecard to challenge the rally tally, which tied the score at 16 at the end of regulation. The Commissioner, concerned about the safety of the players and fans, ordered a sustained effort to finish the keg of Switchback that Claudio brought while the League weighed the options. After an hour and half delay, the lights of the beer wagon were turned on, to prevent the further insulting spillage of beer as well as an ever increasing number of lost cups, and shined across the manicured grass at GapBridge Field.

While officials huddled around the beer discussing game options and the underlying philosophy of LowBall, Lonichiro and Black Cloud Beck began warming up on the dimly lit field. Perhaps it was the beer, or perhaps it was the weeds that t digested while looking for the night goggles lost in the high grass, but the visionary Commissioner ordered all vehicles left at the ball park to the playing field to provide lights for extra innings. As the players and fans streamed to the field in their vehicles, crushing the concession stand grill concealed in the darkness, the Commissioner beamed in the beams of SUV’s, and eco sub-compacts, as the Loggers and Lagers gathered on the field to resume play. While most all of the details of the extra innings were apparently written in language made up that night and since lost to history, from interviews we do know that both teams played into the 19th inning, or so, where the game was finally stopped due to the 1AM curfew imposed on weeknights in Lincoln.

Final score 21-21. The tie, a league first, will require a new column in the standings chart, and halts the Lagers winning streak at 4, leaving them with a 6-2-1 record, while the Loggers are now 2-6-1.
