34 @ 90+ Degrees


Thirty four players braved the high temperatures today and so we ended up with a very exciting and close three team game. After the first inning Teams Thompson, Wells, and Diaz each themselves scratching their collective heads as neither team scored with only one runner reaching base. 

The second inning saw Team Thompson getting a two runs off  a couple hits and ill timed error. Team Diaz answered with the help of a couple walks. Team Wells then put up a big number as a result of clutch hitting and a four bag error to end the inning. 

Teams Thompson and Diaz managed to trade runs for the next couple innings with Team Wells  putting up solid numbers almost every inning. 

The sixth inning saw the bats from Team Diaz start to get hot. The bottom of the line up started a rally where ten batters came to the plate and were able to jump past Team Thompson and get within three runs of Team Wells. 

The last inning ended suddenly with Team Thompson hitting into a double play and then great defense by Team Thompson to shut Eddies team down. As a result, Team Wells did not have to bat in the last inning while enjoying a sweet victory. 

Final score was Team Wells 14, Team Diaz 12, and Team Thompson 9.
