Four Teams Today!

With enough players for two games, Team Powell and Team Diaz faced off on Field B. Team Powell got off to an early lead assisted by double digit walks (I think the stats show more walks than hits for the game). Team Powell managed two five run innings but were unable to distance themselves from Team Diaz as Jimmy Laffoon and Bob Zelazny's bats kept them close throughout. Team Powell shut the door on their opponents with a very quick one two three in the last inning. Final score being 14-12. The ultimate winner of the game was the weather. We lost Lee Baker to the heat in the fifth inning and after canvassing the teams we had four additional players that were experiencing faintness and fatigue. The mangers met and decided to play only seven innings to prevent any other injuries. Players that still wanted to play were encouraged to go over and join the teams playing on Field C.
