Friday

We had a great turnout today with 37 players showing up ready to play. The game started out looking like Team Wells and Team Thompson were going to put up some huge numbers. Fortunately for Team Matta the other teams bats cooled and Team Matta scratched and clawed back to tie for the lead going into the last inning. There were more zeros on the score sheets than in the federal deficit.. a total of seven. As an impartial reporter I can say the defense played well and snuffed out most of the rallies as we raced into the seventh inning. Good defense tops good offense.The score going into the last inning was 11-11-10. The last inning started with everyone still with a chance to claim victory. Unfortunately for Teams Matta and Thompson after Team Wells finally got tired of running around the bases the score was 23-11-10. Eighteen batters came to the plate and as a result of some questionable fielding managed to distance themselves from the other teams. Team Matta failed to mount a charge after a change in pitchers (Sessnick for Thompson) and contributed to the number of zeros on the scoreboard. Team Thompson however came to win and managed seven runs highlighted by a fence jarring drive by Juan Toro. Clearly the power hit of the day. The end result was Team Wells 23, Team Matta 11, and Team Thompson 17.

The boyz enjoy a little pine time
