Today's game was a three team event.  

The hit team captain Wells had Torres, Coffman, M. Gonzalez, Lopez, Laffoon, Merritt, Mohan, Moots & Strait.  They managed only 3 runs through the first 3 innings.  

The sit team, managed by F. Gonzalez included King, Butler, Duff, Smith, Oesterreich, Powell, Marino, Ayala, Bess & L. Baker.  They scored five times in the first and third frames- powered by a Butler triple and a Duff round tripper. 

The field team managed by Simon included Rivera, Schappler, Hite, Matta, Scarborough, Reagan, D. Hill. Barnes & G. Baker. They scored four runs thru the third inning leaving the sit team held a healthy lead at that point.  

The hit team came alive in the fourth by putting up 6 runs with triples by Torres and Lopez.  The sit team  was held scoreless and the field team added only a single run to make the score after 4 innings 9-10-5.  

The hit team scored three times in the fifth frame featuring a Coffman triple.  The sit team scored twice and the field team didn't score.    

The hit team stayed hot and added three runs in the top  of  the sixth  with a Laffoon three bagger.  The  sit team continued a strong offensive performance with a run spurt highlighted by a King HR.  The field team only scored two runs and would need a miracle final frame to win.

The hit team scored three runs in the last inning to open up a two run lead.  The sit team was up to the challenge with five scores in the seventh inning to retake the lead by three.  The field team would need a miracle in the seventh and it almost happened.  They scored eight runs and their last out of the inning came with the bases loaded. 

The final score was 21-18-15 and the WP was Powell.  The other pitchers, Matta and Wells pitched superbly and kept their teams in contention.  

Once again L Baker had a key RBI in the last inning.  Also of note, Bob Hite re-injured a strained back and had to leave the field but still managed to hit a solid single in the seventh for the field team.
