Another Fat Tuesday went by without a single string of beads being thrown about. I'm disappointed. Just a couple of quick notes. On the playoff date March 22nd, we will be having an 'End O' Tournament' celebration involving food and drink of some sort, details to follow. Also please check out Bob's List for the bargains there; i.e. t-shirts for just a buck! AND don't forget to check out the Team Pictures Photo Album for your team's shot. We'll publish them here as we get them.

Field "C"
Rays- Tigers-Rangers
Going into the game you wondered how each team would perform
after last Friday’s ‘bye”, the games not played due to the tournament. For the Tigers the question was, would they play like putty cats or big cats?
The answer, they performed like
Saber Tooth Tigers. Scoring 26 runs in seven innings and
soundly beating both the Rays and the Rangers.

| The 2013 Tigers |
I asked Tigers manager, Don Witmer, what he thought of the
game after the final out was recorded. He
answered, “we hit pretty well”. This was
a little like Sitting Bull saying, “we seemed to do alright”, while fighting
Custer at the Little Big Horn. The
Tigers played sound defense, had solid pitching and good hitting. They had three inside the park HRs, off the
bats of Torres, Wiltshire and Reagan.
The rest of the team feasted on the pitching, as well.
 |
| The 2013 Rays |
The Rays had a nice game too; they rallied in the 7th
inning to take a one run lead for a chance at 2nd place, in the
three team game. The Rays scored six runs, in the 7th inning, after
two outs were made. Going into the bottom of the 7th inning the
score was Rays 13- Tigers 26 and Rangers 12.
 |
| The 2013 Rangers |
The Rangers could not find their bats and they made some
costly running mistakes in the game. Earlier in the game the Rangers had two
players thrown out at the plate. Maybe
things would change in the bottom of the 7th. They did not; the Rangers started a mini
rally, scoring one run to tie the game with the Rays. However, a costly running mistake cut
the rally short. One of the Ranger’s
players missed touching 3rd base while trying to score. After an appeal, he was wrung up by the alert
3rd base umpire, for the 2nd out of the inning. After a fly out, later in the inning, the game
ended in a 2nd place tie.
Final Score: Rays 13- Tigers 26- Rangers 13.
