In addition to having to make up their game against each other at Moffo, each had to play a second game at Corlears. The results for both teams were mixed. Although Filthy kicked off the day with an impressive shootout victory over the surging Rehabs, they could only muster a tie against LBS. On the other hand, the Rehabs rebounded from the heartbreaking loss to Filthy with a convincing win over the feisty Cobra Kai. Although neither team managed to sweep the day, both added three points in the standings, keeping them high in the upper tier of BTSH.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bob W&#8217;s Lunch Order<\/strong><br \/>\nprovolone, lettuce, pickles, hot peppers, and mustard on a roll (no tomatoes) and a tomato V8 (not the &#8220;fruity drink from last time&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video of Tricycle Race Finish Posted!<\/strong><br \/>\nYes!
