Anyway, two 13 man rosters squared off on Field C and I can't say it came out very even. It looked good on paper though. Tom Hamilton led the visitors; Rivera, Hamilton, Steir, Doerbaum, Gazarek, Pepin, Matta, D'Herin, Andrews, Gonzalez, Zelazny, Butler and Oesterreich; against JD's irregulars, Dampier, Toro, Witmer, Seguin, Giordano, Drouillard, Lafoon, Gonzalez, Essenmacher, Coffman, Davis, Reagan and Vanderberg. See?? pretty good match up ... on paper.
Good on paper sometimes doesn't translate to run production though, just ask me, I know. I had a great team on paper this past season but it turned out to be a paper tiger.
The visitors cranked out an early lead and posted 20 runs in the first 4 innings before they backed off a bit. Meanwhile the Home team only managed 5 runs total over the same span and 4 of those came in the 4th inning.
Dave Doerbaum's two long bombs and Jeff Steir's inside the park job made the visitor's offensive highlight reel.
For the home squad, Fred Dampier had his wheaties (or a donut) this morning and came to play, contributing an inside the park homer and a double as part of his 5 for 6 day. Bob Reagan also delivered an inside the park round tripper to complete their offensive showing.
Defensively the visitor's Tom Hamilton and Jose Rivera turned in some great plays. Juan Toro and Bob Reagan made stellar contributions for the home team defense.
Final Score Visitors 28 Home 14.
Winning Pitcher Nick Matta
