The HARRA kickball team entered the bottom of the 5th and final inning with a comfortable lead but just couldn't hold it against the powerful Houston Hash House Harriers kickers on Friday evening. The Harriers came away with a 6 to 5 win over the HARRA team coached by HARRA president and BCRR member Joe Carey. The HARRA team was mostly made up with BCRR members who all played well.
The event was a fund raiser to help cover some of Eddie Rodriguez's medical expenses as he recovers from an automobile accident. Eddie, who is a past president of BCRR, a hasher and a longtime volunteer in the running community, was present and was in good spirits despite his injuries. Thanks to all who attended and contributed to this worthy cause. If you weren't there you missed lots of fun. Special thanks to HARRA and the Houston Hash House Harriers for sponsoring this event for Eddie. Welcome back Eddie - we all wish you a speedy recovery.
