---------- U.S. Exporters & Free Traders Combined Team Finishes 2005 Pre-Season Action ----------

Tom Meldrum Reports: "[In the Saturday double elimination part of the Early Bird Tournament] we lost to the Rhinos 15-13 in the 2:00 game. "The Hawks won the tournament by forfeit when one of the Rhinos players got into an argument with the umpire right after our game ended. The umpire, justifiably, threw him out of the next game, and the Rhinos didn't have enough players to continue." [Editor's Note: LOL! As the two old guys in the Guinness Draught commercials would say, "Brilliant!" Perhaps this was a strategic move by the Rhinos to avoid the inevitable! Ha!] "Greg Mecher was pretty successful both batting and pitching, including his three-hit shutout of AMG Triple Threat. Based on everything, Greg was our MVP."
