The Parrotheads fell to Sal’s Pizza, 6-3, at Goldstar Park in Rollinsford Thursday evening, but got some great news from coach Justin Palmer: the team got another win by forfeit when Lavin Brothers could not muster enough players for what was supposed to be the second of two games this Sunday.
“Yes!” Parrotheads DH Bob Cook exclaimed as he chugged a post-game beer in the Parrotheads lockerroom. “It give us four wins and I’ll take it any way we can get’em.”
The team improved its record to 4-14 with two games left on the schedule, Sunday’s contest versus Post47 at 1 p.m. followed by a cruicial third game against Collins Sports on Tuesday before preparations for the post-season tournament commence.
Palmer explained the two teams have split their regular season series and the winner of Tuesday’s game could catapult into 8th place in the overall league standings, which could help the winning team draw a more even opponent in the first round. Palmer was adamant that he wants his team to show up and win Tuesday.
“We’ve got to win that game. We can’t lose on Tuesday,” he said.
As a side note, Cook and former Beacons utility infielder Todd Collins, now of Collins Sports, made a wager earlier this season that if their team won the series series, the loser would have to buy a six-pack of the winner’s favorite beer. Cook wants Collins to buy him a six-pack of Sam Adams Summer and Collins is leaning toward Red Stripe.
