Batting Around

Wayne on two Sammy on one  Note the clean shoes

Ok guys, with just 27 players, everybody bats 4 or 5 times.  Can't argue with that but it would be nice to have a pair of two team games going on.  Oh well, that's summer ball here in Winter Haven

Larry Wells took the mound? (would you believe rubber?) after batting first and scoring 3 runs on consecutive hits by Constantine, Butler, Scarborough, Byrd, and Moots.  Sounds like a law firm.
Larry Powell's team (sit)  responded but only posted 1 run while Nick Matta's team (field) managed to get a runner to third and no further.

The next frame added 4 runs for the Wells squad, one again for team Powell but team Matta came through with the maximum 5.

After 4 innings the score stood at 8-5-7.   Then in the 5th, team Wells put up 4 and team Matta added 3 to make it 12-5-10 after 5.  Then the sixth was a wash out as nobody scored.

Team Wells then challenged the field in the 7th, racking up 10 runs in the first third of the unlimited inning, sending 14 batters to the plate and setting the mark to beat.

Team Powell could only muster a single run. But then, not be out-done, Team Matta, only sent 4 to the plate and did not score in the final frame.
