Comments heard during the game - Fielding
It was the top of the ninth and two down - the next Aeros batter drove the ball into leftfield - he turned at first and headed for second base - Brett picked the ball up and fired it in, and picked up the outfield assist!!! - in the commentators words, "a nice throw by Roneberg"

The season is over!!! - an email from Sharon to Brett
See you soon!
Have a safe trip!
Love Ya.
