Braves vs Cubs
The game got off to a rocky start in that the top of the first inning Ted Taylor rounded third base and took hard fall. He had a skin tear just below his eye and was bleeding real bad. Thanks to fast action by his teammates he was mended enough to finish the game. Good enough to go 4 for 4 including one walk. Braves only had nine players to start the game.
After 4 innings the Cubs had a lead of 12 to 5. Every Cub player got a hit except one. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Braves had a big rally scoring 7 runs to tie the game after four. Eight of the Brave players got a hit that inning-all singles.

Rangers vs Rays
It seems this old Florida weather does not want to warm up so we can play softball in our shorts again. It was nice and cold again today with a brisk wind coming across Field B from the northeast.
The Rangers acted like they were prepared for the cold weather with a five run top of the first inning while the Rays only managing to get one out. The Rays managed to score a couple of runs in the bottom of the first inning.
After holding the Rangers scoreless in the top of the second inning, the Rays bats came alive and they scored five runs. In the third inning, both teams continued to hit well with the Rangers scoring four runs and the Rays scoring five runs.
After the fifth inning, the score was tied 13 all. Both teams went scoreless in the sixth inning and both teams scored five runs in the seventh inning. In the top of the eighth inning, Bob Zelazny led off with a booming hit to left center field. But, Sam Cuscovitch, the left center fielder for the Rays, was able to run it down for the out.
Next up was the dangerous bat of Don Erb. Don hit a boomer to left center field and Sam ran that one down for the out. The Rays were able to hold the Rangers scoreless in the eighth inning and went on the score three runs in the bottom of that inning.
In the ninth inning, the Rays were able to hold the Rangers scoreless again for a final score of Rays 21 - Rangers 18.
Pat Lopicolo pitched the entire game for the Rays and snagged a ball hit up the middle by Juan Toro for an out. Pitching for the Rangers was Larry Wells, Nick Matta and Jimmy Laffoon. All the pitchers did a great job with that strong wind blowing across the field.
Leading hitters for the Rays were Jimmy Goodhue 3/3 with a walk, Terry Smith 4/5,Eddie Gazarek 3/4 with a walk and Herb 'O' was 3/5.
Leading hitters for the Rangers were Larry Wells and Lance Patton, 3/3, Steve Hill and Bob Zelazny were 3/4 and Kirk Coffman was 2/3 with a walk.
The Rays welcome Sam Cuscovitch back to Winter Haven Senior Softball. Today was Sam's first game of the season. Sam was looking forward to enjoying his first day back by watching our game but the Rays manager had other plans for him. Sam did a great job in left center field.
