Good Friday

Good Friday was not bad this year.  The sun warmed the fields nicely and by 10am or so the extra shirts were coming off.  We had two games today, one American League and one mixed.  A couple of the fields had standing water so  we used B and D today.

Field D

The American League game should have been a real slug fest today but ended up a bit lopsided due to some excellent defense turned in by the Home Squad.  Both teams blanked in only two innings but the home team plated the max 5 runs in the 2nd, 4th and 6th while holding the visitors to 3 runs in their best inning, the 4th.

Good Day Sammy!

The Home Boys pitched by George Radlein played some awsome defense with great catches in the outfield by Chuck Duff, Juan Toro (as usual), and Ron Pepin.  The infield was equally hot with the leather as Sam Lopez, Tom Hamilton and Joe D'Herin turned in some swell plays.

Tough loss Larry

For the visitors, pitched by Larry Wells, hitting was the order of the day with Don Keller hitting for the cycle, Don Erb bouncing the ball off the outfield fence and Elvis Abney rapping out singles and doubles.  Nice to have you back with us Elvis!

The final score was Home Team 21 - Visiting Team 11

Field B

Well, at least it's starting to feel a little like spring, for the boys (older men) of summer.  The batting team, or visitors, got off to a torrid start with singles from Altomose, Terry Smith, Merritt and Barnes that plated a run and had bases loaded with no outs. That was about as good as it got for the visitors, as they could only push 1 more run across that inning.   

 

RT went 4 for 4 today

The home team quickly answered with a single from Marino and a Homerun from Larry Chrest.  The runs kept coming as the home team sent 7 more men to the plate and scored 2 more to grab a 4-2 lead which they never gave up.  The home team bats could not be silenced as they scored 5 in the 2^nd, 5^th and 6^th innings.  The best inning the visitors could muster was the 4^th when Terry Smith had a Grand Slam that cut the lead to 4, 11-7.   

 

The CIC played defense for both teams

That was a close as the score got, as the home team won 22-10.
