Grilled Maurader

Another successful campaign on the outdoor pitch this Sunday for the Train Wrecks. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was in honor of the Moms. Maybe it was because we were hungry for a win.

In the end the 2-0 scoreline didn't do the Train Wrecks justice. Though, a generous and supportive crowd and stroke of sunshine did honor the occasion.

While one might not attribute perfection to every Train Wreck effort, the two well-worked goals never seemed like they would get a response from the Mauraders. Perhaps it can be best chalked up to team fortitude. Or maybe spiced meat motivation.

It seems the team scored again even after the final whistle had blown. I missed the after-party, but kudos to Oreste for stepping up and bringing the meat and the 'Q to grill it on, to Pedro for the beers, to Ali for bringing her birthday so that Janine could bring her a cake, and Laura for the fine home inspired condiments.
