“It is great to have the win, but our team is looking to forward to the playoffs,” said a modest Elsbernd, who put the Super in Supervisor with his outstanding play.

Boris Delepine also starred for the victorious HOGs. He played a solid first base, sometimes stretching his lanky frame to amazing lengths, and he also contributed at the plate with two singles and triple.

“Operation Softball Connect was in full effect,” said a proud Delepine.

On the other side of the diamond, the Mayor’s Board Liaison and team captain Wade Crowfoot tried to explain the Blues’s crushing defeat. “Softball is a perplexing game, a game that can break your heart,” mourned Crowfoot, “and our heart was broken as we were beaten once again by a stronger team.”

Peter Ragone apparently struck out, which left him "speechless for once." The B.O.S. Hogs now head to the playoffs in their quest for the championship. SFist has a feeling that there will be some gloating going on around City Hall for some time to come. No word if Jamie McGoldrick's video of the game will be appearing on SFGTV.
