The Builder\'s offense was led by the Moser brothers with Chris going 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and Colin going 2 for 4 with 3 RBI (this includes 2 doubles, but we will let the big man think he got a triple cus he lost 45 lbs. during the offseason).

Even though he missed the entire first month, he warns league pitching that he will maintain the Bruised Helmet Award that he received from the 2008 season. His lifetime total of HBPs is now 568.
