Leftie's Lefty Left Fielder Outs Clerical Error, Averts Disaster.
In a single act of acute awareness and unusual bravado, Southpaw Left Fielder, Matthew Roff, saw something and said something this Wednesday alerting team officials to a clerical scheduling error, averting potential disaster. Upon waking Wednesday morning Roff checked the Southpaw Softball blog and noticed that the schedule read Thursday the 24th instead of the 25th and immediately sent a text message at 9:13 am to alert manager Patty "Dooks" Fondiller.
"Is our game today or tom. Blog says thursday but gives todays date" read the text. Fondiller picked up the missive at 2:36 in the afternoon and called back Roff to let him know he would check the schedule. Team officials cited Roff's heroism pointing out that they may have had the team's players showing up at the game on Thursday evening thinking that the date was the 24th and not the 25th. "That would be bad." said one source on condition of anonymity. Reached by phone for comment, Southpaw's manager, Fondiller, simply began cursing and hung up.
The error has since been corrected.
