We divided up today's 37 players into 3 teams and played 5 outfielders on defense but apparently yours truly did a poor job of dividing up the players even though it looked good on paper.
Team Jacobs fielded Gonzalez (M), Torres, Lafoon, Butler, Jacobs, Giordano, Chamblee, Marino, Leggett, Ota, Sessink, and Baker
VS
Team Rivera with Mundy, Dampier, Alumbaugh, Finnegan, Rivera, Diaz, Wise, Thompson, Barnes, Abney, Moots, and Sullivan
VS
Team Witmer playing Gonzalez(F), Scarbrough, Coffman, King, Witmer, Chrest, Oesterreich, Wells, Hearn, Powell, Bess, Merritt, and Kane.
The tale of the game is in the zero innings. The Hit Squad (Team Jacobs) only scored in the 3rd and 7th innings putting up 5 zeros while they were nearly matched in zero production by the Sit Squad (Team Rivera) posting 4 zero run innings while the Field Team (Team Witmer) only put up zeros twice.
Since there's no point in recapping all the zeros, I'll just report on the final inning since everyone managed to score in the 7th.
At the end of 6 innings we stood at 4 to 11 to 13. The Sit Team came to bat and nearly doubled their 3rd inning total by scoring three times to take a solid last place.
Then the Hitters not only couldn't hit, they couldn't hold the Sitters onslaught. The Sitters sent all 12 players to the plate scoring 8 runs in the final frame to take the lead over the Field squad 19-13.
The Fielders showed that they came to play almost getting through their order and plating 7 runs to finally take the victory on a fielders choice infield grounder. The defense even managed to prolong the game by throwing out the winning run at home to record the first out of the inning. But too little too late.
Final Score 7 to 19 to 20
