Meet 'Pistol' and "Pistol Packin' Mama"

TennisTitan hooked up for five (5) sets of doubles this date at Kinsley. In the opener Titan paired with Happy Jack against 'Big Al' and the 'Chemist.' 'HJ' was at the top of his game this morning, serving effectively (no double faults!) and rallying very well from the backcourt as he and TT let a (4-2) lead slip away into a (4-6) defeat. 'Not Espn' Scott stepped in as TT's partner for set 2 and more than complimented Titan in leading their team to a (6-1) pasting of 'Big Al'/'Chemist.' 'Not Espn' was tenacious in game 5 as he fended off 6 breakers prior to winning the game on his first ad in opportunity. With the departure of 'Big Al,' and 'Not Espn' after that set Titan and 'Chemist' elected to invite the husband-wife team playing singles on the adjacent court to do battle in doubles. TT/'Chemist' took the first set from Lou 'Pistol' Luger and Gerri 'Pistol Packin' Mama' Luger (6-2). Titan then teamed with 'Pistol' to defeat 'Chemist'/'PPM' (6-2) in the next set. The most entertaining set followed as TT/'PPM' rallied from a (1-4) deficit to draw even at 5 games apiece. The bubble burst as TT/'PPM' dropped the ensuing two games but felt very satisfied knowing that they had thrown a scare into these boys of the Faterland in a hard fought (5-7) defeat. "There you go girl" was TT's comment as 'PPM' informed 'Pistol' that lunch was on him as they left the court.

PPM is super! You should know her off the courts too! I'm impressed with the pictures of Gerry and Lou and TT too. A friend of theirs, Alice
