Today's game on Tuesday, Dec. 30 featured two National League teams managed by Jeff Simon, home team, and Floyd Welton for the visitors.  The visitors inc. Bess, Ducham, F. Miller, Chamlee, Kline, M. Mohan, Holley, Witter, Benson and Wheeler.  The home team inc. Marino, Zakrowski, D. Hill, Grabb, Moots, McLellan, D. Holder, L. Baker, Gibson and S. Holder.   Both teams scored three times in the first frame and went scoreless the next two innings.  Thru the next 4 innings Welton's visitors built up an 8 run lead and looked ready to seal the deal.  However, in the bottom of the eighth Simon's home squad showed a no quit attitude and scored seven runs to only trail by a single run.  The game ended when the rain came down harder and both coaches decided field and weather conditions dictated that play be halted for the day.  Both teams fielded a core of what will be their league squad with a few non team members in order to complete a team for the day.  Leading hitters for the home team inc: Simon 3-5 SF, Marino 4-4 3B, Hill 3-5 HR, Grabb 4-5 2B,3B, Moots 3-5, McLellan 4-5 HR, 2B, D. Holder 4-5 4-5 2B.  The leading hitters for  the visitors inc: Bess 4-6, Ducham 5-6, Miller 5-6 HR, Chamlee 4-6, M. Mohan 3-5, Welton 3-5, Benson 4-5.  The WP was Witter and it should be noted that D. Holder pitched well for the home team.  The close score indicates the season is shaping up to be exciting for all players.
