Field B
With many of our players visiting family up north, the National League fielded two strong teams on Field B and saw an epic battle where for the first time in many sessions, Team Waddell went down to defeat. The final score was Team Wilcox 10 and Team Waddell 6. The first inning was relatively quiet with Team Waddell scoring the only run when Eddie Kline led off and scored. They padded their lead in the second by outscoring Team Wilcox 3 to 0 with John Merritt's double being the big hit. In the third, Team Waddell was shut down while Team Wilcox tied the score by posting four runs. The fourth inning saw Team Waddell tie up the game as Doug Chamlee led off and scored the only run by either team.

The fifth inning looked promising for Team Waddell but fell short as they stranded two runners. Team Wilcox scored five off six straight singles to take the lead which they would not give up. Both teams were unable to score in the sixth and managed only one run apiece in the seventh. Team Waddell again was unable to capitalize on early hits and ended up scoring zero and stranding three in the eighth. Team Wilcox went four and out but still enjoyed a comfortable lead going into the final frame. With the top of the lineup coming to bat it looked promising for Team Waddell as two of the first three batters reached base in the ninth. Solid defense got the next two batters and preserved the win for Team Wilcox.
Key performances
- Avril Waddell 4 for 5
- Doug Chamlee 3 for 4
- John Merritt 4 for 4
- Frank Miller 4 for 4
Field D
The American League fielded 3 teams on 'D' today and for a while there it seemed that nobody wanted to cross the plate. I guess everyone was just a bit 'cold'.
The hit squad led by Jeff Simon scored one in the first off Steve Hill's lead-off walk but that was it for the inning. The second was much the same with Jeff's team scoreing 2 off a pair of doubles by Bob Hite and Dennis Borowitz.
The Fielders got on the board with a 5 run third inning sparked by triples from Rob Reagan and Mike Gatto and a list of singles. They scored 5 without making an out.
After 3 the score stood at 3-0-5.
The hit team then posted two more scoreless innings while the sit team decided to start hitting posting 5 runs in each of the next three highlited by a Roger Edwards double in the 4th, a Frank Jacobs 3-bagger in the 5th and doubles by Larry Powell and Frank Jacobs in the 6th. Meanwhile the fielders plated 3 runs in the 5th and 6th innings leaving the score at 6-15-11 going into the final frame.
The Hitters needed 9 to tie but only managed one while the Sitters continued their streak sending 12 batters to the plate and getting 7 home on doubles by Frank Jacobs, and Don Hawbaker. The Fielders came up needing 11 runs to tie in their part of the 7th and they gave it the old try scoring 4 runs highlited by a Fred Dampier double but then hitting into the game ending double play.
The Final Tally was 7-22-15
