Field C

Field C hosted a three team contest between the Rangers, Angels and Tigers. If the first inning was any sign of things to come, it was going to be a long day at the park. The Rangers (Nick Matta) started the game with five runs. The Angels ( Freddie Gonzalez) answered with four runs and the Tigers (Don Witmer) answered with four runs. 

But as softball goes, the second inning was not as fruitful for the Rangers or Tigers. No runs were scored by either team. The Angels however never looked back after the first inning. They continued to score in every inning except the third inning and ran away with the game with a final score of 14-26-5. 

Not only were the Angels bats working, their defense was stellar. Juan Toro at shortstop made several outstanding plays and turned one double play by himself. Les Jacobsen, who was playing middle infielder, was everywhere on the field. Les made several good defensive plays and combined with Juan to turn a double play.

The first four batters for the Angels were 5 for 5. Freddie Gonzalez, Juan Toro, Les Jacobsen and Pat Drouilard were unstoppable. Freddie had One in the park home run, Juan had Two in the park home runs and Les had Four Doubles. Pat had a Triple, a Double and Three singles. Greg Denny and Larry Wells were 4 for 5 and Richard Marino blasted a ball over the left fielder's head to score the fifth run in the fourth inning. The Angels bats were working today.

Leading hitters for the Rangers were Jose Rivera, Freddie Dampier and Regis Finnegan at 3 for 4. Nick Matta went 2 for 3 and Jack Benson was 2 for 2 with a sac fly.
