Can we say -- Oh Yeah, we remember it well. One of the great many memories the Vikes gave us fans.

I remember the game Fred vs. Monrovia. Northview gave Eddie Mac from Monrovia his first loss in two years on a squeeze play in the bottom of the 7th if I remember right. Was a game for the ages.
As for the "friendly" sounds like fun, I think I'll head out and see the Aussies play ball.
