We
played softball this morning under a tornado watch. I think I found
that tornado in the form of the Angels managed by Freddie Gonzalez.
In the top of the first inning, the Angels batted 8 batters and scored 4 runs. They came back in the second inning and scored 5 more runs to quickly put the Tigers behind 9 runs.
The Tigers managed a couple of runs in the bottom of the second inning and finally got their bats working in the third inning, where they scored 5 runs. They pulled within four runs of the Angels but that was as close as they were to get for the rest of the game.
The rain started in the fifth inning and finally, after the bottom of the seventh inning, it rained hard enough to make the fields unsafe. The game was called by the managers and the win went to the Angels, 20 to 11. The pitchers, Dennis Holder and Pat Lopiccolo did a great job fighting the tornado winds to throw strikes.

Another dark cloud fell over the Winter Haven's Diamond Plex's Softball Field today as word spread that the wife of Joe Deforge passed away. Joe is the Cub's regular catcher and has been on the DL for a few weeks. Please keep Joe and hisfamily in your prayers.
Cubs Manager Ted Taylor had 13 players today with only Joe Deforge missing. Ken Wilson and Ed Kline led off with singles, walks to Mundy and Wolfe and a base hit from Evans. After a slick double play, singles by Leggett and Taylor finished the scoring for the inning at 4 runs. Crafty pitching set the Giants down one, two, three in the first inning.
The second started with base hits by Barnes and Fulton and after a filder's choice LaMay, Wilson, Mundy and Wolfe had singles for 3 runs. The Giants scored on base hits from Thompson and Remington, an error, and a couple of ground outs.
In the top of the 4th inning the Cubs had 6 straight singles by Fulton, Altamose, LaMay, Wilson, Kline, Mundy followed by a double by Wolfe scoring the max 5 runs. The Giants came back on base hits by Miller and Mahon, a double by
Remington and two more singles by Chamlee and Merritt. Score after 4 was Cubs 14 Giants 5.
Skipping ahead to the 7th inning, Ed Kline led off with a in-side-the-park homer, Mundy singled and Wolfe and Evens followed with homers for 4 runs. The Giants not to be out done came back with 3 runs on singles by Mahon and Thompson and a homer by Remington.
Final score with the game being called after 8 innings because of rain was Cubs 18 Giants 11
