It was an odd night for the Unicorns as they faced off against their rival this season--the Wine O's--and That's What She Said.
At Red Mill Farms Park, an area known for its distance from all of the team members and its plague-like population of mosquitoes, the Unicorns took the field early at 6:40pm at the demand of the umpire despite not having a full team. They knew they would be short, but the early start threw them for a loop as players were rushing to get out to Sandbridge after work. "The Wine O's are our favorite team to play--they have great spirit. That might explain Bobby [Weaver]'s feeling that they might have been going easy on us by not hitting the ball into right field since no one was there," skipper Greg Weaver recounts.
An all-time high of four Unicorn females were out of the lineup for evening. Catcher Lanah Stafford was on personal leave, the recently re-enabled Alaina Coletti was hosting receptions at a work event, speedster Joanna Niles is finishing up her time in France, and veteran team sister Sarah Redfield's whereabouts were unknown. Subs were on their way, but it was unclear as to how long they were going to take.

Game Previews for 6/20/11
Tomorrow night the Unicorns will play on a field that will be foreign to some players, but the opposing team members will certainly spark familiarity.
Game #1 vs. Wine O's (6:45pm at Red Mill Park Field #2)
When the Unicorns last saw the Wine O's, they posted their first (and only) win of the season, beating them 10-7. Ryan Cahill and Bobby Weaver both hit home runs in the series against them, with Weaver racking in two. Rianna Schweitzer had headed the Unicorns' best games defensively, having an average WHIP of 3.60 and allowing two of the lowest run totals in the season, 13 and 7.
After the game, the Unicorns and the Wine O's shared some quality time at local bar Finn McCool's, where the Wine O's purchased shots for everyone due to the Unicorns' victory. They are eager to win again.
Two game AVG/OBP/SLG: .417/.440/.667 and .524/.643/1.095
