Here we are back for the ninth inning of the exciting slow pitch softball match between Joe's Plumbing and Bubba's Bar and Grill. The score is tied at six as we start off this inning. Big Carl strides to the plate to take his hacks and he hits a screaming liner right to the first baseman. One out. Rich comes up next and he hits a single that falls in front of the center fielder. Up comes Joe and hits a ground ball right through the third baseman's legs for an error. Two on and one out for Tim. He lines one right back to the pitcher who makes the quick catch. I'm telling you, he has reflexes like a cat out there. Don comes up next and hits a hard liner over the third baseman's head for another hit. The bases are loaded with two outs for Sam who hits a single just past the diving first baseman. That scores a run and leaves the bases loaded. Next comes Ray who hits a high fly ball deep to right field, but it is caught for the third out. One run on three hits and one error and we will go into the bottom of the ninth with Joe's Plumbing up by one.

Starting the bottom of the ninth, Jeremy hits a looping line drive just out of the reach of the roving outfielder. That will go as a hit. Tom steps up next and hits one just past the second baseman for another hit. That puts two men on with no outs. Chad comes up next and hits a hard liner to the second baseman who catches it and flips to the shortstop to double off the runner! That makes two outs with a runner on first for Craig who hits a ground ball just out of the reach of the shortstop. Two men on with two outs and the big part of the order coming up for Bubba's. Doug strides to the plate and he hits a liner just over the shortstops head to load the bases! Here comes big Dave who digs in. Everything comes down to this at bat. Heres the pitch. He hits a long fly ball, deep to right field. It might be. It could be. IT IS! A grand slam home run to win the game for Bubba's Bar and Grill. What an exciting ending.

Solved the puzzle yesterday and am thankful my late father was a baseball fan. Had a chance today before the rain to go search for it. Found quickly once near GZ. SL. TFTC and the fun puzzle. Will give this a "Favorite" point for the puzzle.

Amazing! I found it! Wow. After working the puzzle quite easily (thanks to my dad who umpired baseball for DECADES). I knocked this one out of the park.

So, I trekked out for a cache in today's BLIZZARD. I can't stay in for too long. Not my style. Got home just in time - the wind has really picked up.

The cache is in perfect shape. However, the branch is now much larger than the zip tie and is attempting to annex the cache container. This one might need some maintenance. Please let me know if I can help!

Also, this stasifies a nearby Cache Revival Challenge (GC2101G). This one hasn't been found in almost a year and a half! Thanks for the great puzzle and the cache!

TFTPC It is good to find another of your puzzle caches. Of course, I had to have some help with the puzzle part. It is good to see these older caches hanging around for so long. I had to make a run down to Fountain for some supplies and found a few of these before heading back up to woodland Park with nicehice.

My son and I stopped at a park nearby for a picnic supper that was quickly rained out. While sitting in the truck waiting to see if the rain would stop so he could go play I checked my phone for nearby caches and saw this one. Once the rain stopped we played for a bit then made a short detour over here for the cache on the way home. SL, thanks!

Out on a caching adventure in the Springs with sassydil. We got a few puzzles, multis, and trads. Successful day while it was pretty "warm" and nice out. TFTP!

Pretty easy puzzle - now if you can get me to not have fat fingers or dyslexia when typing the answer into the geochecker we'd be in business. Found today with animjason.
