Mail by stand-in Captn/Coach Amit:
What a total team win for the Desi Nationals as they beat Westgate tonight by a score 7-6! we led 7-0 with 2 innings to go, but we held on to win by the closest of margins. It was a total team effort with 2 home runs by 2 players....way to go Venu! phenomenal outfield catches, a couple of hustle plays by Robert, a great catch by Sammy at home, the usual consistent hitting by Leena. I think she's got the highest on-base percentage of all of us! Ranjeet had an awesome foul catch at 1st and got a crutial out for us. Preeti played flawlessly at 3 positions throughout the game (3B, LF and C). awesome pitching by Anjali, great outfield play by Karthik, Venu and Robert. We missed DJ out there and can't wait for her to get back. I can't remember everything (I've had a couple of beers :), but I'm still on cloud nine ...and it's not just from the beer! :)
After the game, even a couple of guys from Westgate came over and admired how far we've come since the first game. they're afraid of us as we're picking up momentum and going to be a real force in the playoffs. we're 1 point from 2nd place and will be playing St Timothy's for 2nd place next week. way to go team!

Awesome win, guys!!! Looks like I don't need to rush back to help out after all!
Just a recap of the innings:
1st innings: desis lead 3-0(9 people on the field)
2nd innings: desis lead 7-1(9 people on the field)
3rd innings: desis lead 7-4(8 people on the field)
4th innings: desis lead 7-6(8 people on the field)
We were jumping up and down at the airport while we were checking into the Quantas flight, everyone around us got to know that our team rocks!! I'm sure just 6 of u guys can take on Lutherans, you wont need all the Desis in the team :-)
