LAKEWOOD, CO (TP) – The Conundrums were rightfully weary on Monday night as they took the diamond against league newcomers One Hit Wonders.  The Wonderboys started the season with a bang, beating Maptek 31-0 on Opening Day, while the Puzzlers were still trying to figure out how to put numbers larger than a zero in the "W" column. 

The game started as expected, as One Hit Wonders forged an early lead on solid hitting, baserunning and defense.  But the underdog Conundrums had some tricks of their own, namely wind-aided errors, a lumpy infield, and favorable umpiring decisions. 

Trailing 13-18 in the final stanza, the wind died down and the Conundrums bats got hot. The Q-Markers scored an impressive 13 runs in the top of the 7th to take a seemingly insurmountable 26-18 lead.  Unfortunately for the Puzzlers, the operative word was "seemingly", as the One Hit Wonders proved they are One Hit Wonders in name only, putting 9 runs of their own on the board to claim the 27-26 victory over the hapless Conundrums. 

Casey Comes Through: Brandon Casey made due on his 2 Strikeout performance by bringing a 12 pack of Boulder Beer Co's Hazed and Infused, marking the first time in club history that the strikeout beer wasn't Keystone, the Beast, or PBR.  Reports that certain teammates are actively attempting to sabotage future Casey at-bats remain unconfirmed. 

Mr. Perfect:  After opening the season a respectable 4-4, Paul Ries stayed hot by running his hit streat to 2 games and 8 consecutive at-bats.  Claims that TWICS staffers are actively attempting to jinx Paul's hit streak will be confirmed, or denied, during this week's game.
