Bombers Crap the Bed
From beat reporter Justin Smith:
The Bombers were besieged by errors, pathetic at bats and a rain cloud they just couldn't shake. After an atrocious quarterfinals defeat, the Bombers will return badder and better than ever next season for a deeper playoff run. Although a tough loss is hard to take, the team can revel in knowing that they are collectively the best looking team in DCMSBL history, and most importantly, sons any mother would be proud to call her own.
