Cedardale Green vs. Winchester White

With each team winning four matches, it all came down to sets, and the ball didn't bounce our way even though I was channeling the win and cheering you from afar. Cap'n and Liz won in straight sets with Shawn's crushing serve and Liz's leadership on the court. Betsey (our level-headed team mathematician) and Lisa Brennon bageled their opponents in the opening set and going to set three racked up a match win with stunning serves (Betsey) and angel volleys (Lisa). Marybeth and Linda ripped an awesome win amidst fierce opponent protestations. Note to everyone: the only thing France-like about Linda is her name! She knows the rules and holds her ground. As for the RIDICULOUS line calls on several of the other courts, I'd suggest we put away our lavender spritzahs to whip up and deliver a cat-five-hurricane-force-Marcel-inspired Peruvian disaster to the opponents who dare to cheat their way to the winner's circle. Unbelievable to anyone this side of blindness. Ann and Susan, and Dorian and Patti know; Coach Marcel and the satellite images know. And don't forget, Karma knows. All in all, given the nonsense and the closeness of the majority of matches, Shawn declared us the winners.
