Hitting was the name of the game on Field B this morning. The morning air was crisp with the temperature around 55 degrees at game time. The ball seemed to like this weather and was jumping off the bats. Don Keller led the Tigers hitting attack going 5 for 5 with two singles, one double, one triple and one over the fence home run. That's what we call "Hitting For The Cycle". Mike Gatto, Johnny Byrd and Terry were 3 for 4. Raul Torres, Jimmy Lafoon, Herb 'O' and SammyLopez were 3 for 5. Kenny Ota was 2 for 3 with 2 walks and everyone else on the team had at least one hit.

Leading the hitting attack for the Red Sox was Scott Seguiness going 4 for 5 with two singles, one triple and one over the fence home run. He just missed hitting for the cycle. Steve Hill and Bob Zelazny were 4 for 6. Both of them hit in the park home runs. Bob Dole and Angel Merced, who played in his first game this year, were 3 for 5 and Al Andrews was 3 for 6. Everyone else on their team had at least one hit.
There was never a dull moment in this game as the score remained close throught out the game. The Red Sox had the bases loaded in the top of the 9th inning and it looked like they were going to take the lead when the last out was made.
The Final Score was Tigers 24 - Red Sox 21.

Cubs VS Braves Game 1
Due to a previous rain out the leagues rules say play two 7 innings games forthe make up. So the Cubs and the Braves took the field today to play two games.
Manager Taylor's came to bat in the first with two base hits but a hardhit grounder turned into a double play and the Cubs failed to score. ManagerMoot's Braves came out swinging the bats with five straight singles by Peterson, Chrest, Lautenschlager, Frank Miller, and Ravo, followed by a Duff Hill triple. Moots then hit a SAC to bring in the 5th run of the inning.
The Cubs rallied for 5 in the second on singles by Evans and Leggett, a walk and base hit by Fulton and another by Wilson for the final run of the inning. The Braves kept pace in the second by scoring 5 more run from the bottom of their line up. Mills,
Sessink, Yarletts and Sullivan a fielders choice and a home run by Chrest.
Both teams were taking oxygen in the 3rd as no runs were scored.
Cubs Scored 5 again in the 4th on base hits by Fitzke, Leggett, Depalma, Taylor and Fulton and after two were out, Wilson and Barnes drove in runs 4 and 5 with singles.
In the 5th inning, after the Cubs scored 3 in the top of the frame the
Braves scored another 5 runs. The score after 5 was Braves 15 Cubs 13.
The Cubbies tallied 2 in the 6th and 2 in the 7th and the Braves scored 4 in the 6th
to put the game away. Final Braves 19 Cubs 17.
Braves
Chrest & Peterson 3 for 4 - double and HR
Lautenschlager 3 for 3 with triple
Duff Hill 3 for 3 with 2 doubles
Cubs
Wilson and Fitzke 3 for 3 with walk
Barnes, Kline, Evans, Depalma, Taylor & Fulton all 3 for 4
Brave Vs Cubs Game 2
In the second game, Peterson led off with a triple and scored on a ground out for the only run in the inning. The Cubs led off with singles by Wilson and Barnes, a triple by Kline, and a double by Wolf. After two were out base hits by Leggett, Depalma, Taylor and Fulton and a walk to Fulton tallied the max 5 runs for the inning. I sometimes wonder what the games might be like if there was no run limit to an inning. Maybe 5 to 6 hour games and a score of 55 to 60 for each team?The Braves came to bat in the second, after walks to Moots and Mills and base hits by Sessink and Yarletts, Bernie Peterson hit his second homer of the day to make the score 6 to 5 for the Braves.
The third inning saw the Braves score a run without getting a hit on two errors and a walk. The Cubs batting in the third with a Kline single, Bill Wolf double and Bill Evans home run. Then again as in the first game singles by Depalma, Taylor, Fulton and Altamose produced 4 runs for that at bat.
After holding the Braves scoreless in the 4th the Cubs scored another 4 runs on a couple of hits and errors. Cubs 13 Braves 7 after four.
The Braves scored 3 in each of the 5th and 7th innings and the Cubs scored 5 in 5th inning all scoring after two were out.
Final Score Cubs 18 Braves 13.
Braves
Peterson 3 for 4 with Triple and HR
Yarletts 2 for 3
Cubs
Wolf 4 for 4 all doubles
Depalma and Fulton 4 for 4
Taylor 3 for 3
Best plays for the double header were by Bernie Peterson on a running catch in left center field at the fence off the bat of Bill Wolf and a spectacular running leaping catch in right field by Jim Altamose. Great plays guys.

Field D
It was a colder day for softball, but the heat was on in the
form of competition between the Angels-Rays and Rangers on “Field D”. You can
choose any of the following sayings to describe the game.
It was a hot mess.
It was a slap yo momma hot game.
The game was so hotly contested that it was like frying an
egg on an ice cube.
Despite the cooler conditions the bats were smoking for all
three teams, as each team held a lead at some point in the game. These types of
games always seem to be decided in the last inning, this was no exception. After 6 innings of play the score stood Angels
11, Rays 15 and Rangers 18.
Angels’ manager, Freddy Gonzalez, preaches the power of the
resurrection. His team must be an
attentive audience. The Angels busted out in the top of the 7th
inning, sending 13 guys to the plate, in a lofty run scoring inning. By the time the final out for the Angels was
recorded, they had scored 8 runs and had taken the lead. Juan Toro had the big blow, slicing a line
drive into the left field corner for a bases clearing HR.
The Rays were due up next, in the middle of the 7th.
However, they must have run out of gas
after their 4 run sixth inning. They could not regain their momentum and went
scoreless in the 7th.
The Rangers took their bats off the rack in the bottom of
the 7th, needing to score one run to tie the Angels and needing two
runs, to win the game. Consecutive hits by Steve Pinnick and Nick Matta got the
Rangers headed in the right direction. Tim Gallagher worked the count and drew
a walk, to load the bases, with no outs. Next batter, Tom Wise, hit a sacrifice fly to tie
the score. The Rangers’ leadoff batter,
Jose Rivera, then hit a hot grounder to the left side of the infield. The
fielder had to try and hold speedy pinch runner, Sam Cuscovitch, at 3rd
and also try to throw out the speedy Rivera at 1st. That is a real dilemma for any fielder. The throw came in at first base, just in time,
to get the streaking Rivera for the 2nd out. Meanwhile, mercury winged Cuscovitch broke for
the plate and scored the winning run, just ahead of the throw to home.
Final score: Angels 19- Rays 15- Rangers 20.
Other game notes: There were some nice defensive plays
turned in by a few players, as well. Dennis Holder, (Angels), had a nice put
out from the mound. Jose Rivera, (Rangers), had a great running catch in LC.
Sam Cuscovitch, (Rangers), went way back in RC, to snag a deep fly ball. Freddy Gonzalez, (Angels), ran down a few
balls in LC. Kirk Coffman, (Rangers),
caught a hot liner to LF. Rich Marino, (Angels) made a few good catches in RF.
Roger Edwards, (Rays) tracked down a few line drives in LC.

Angels
Freddy Gonzalez, 4/5 with a double.
Juan Toro, 3/ 5 with a HR.
