One of the best 3 team games ever witnessed was played today once it all got sorted out with Witmer's Wonders only having 9 players, Smith's Scrappers only having 9 players and Simon's Smashers having 10. So many players had to be borrowed for defense and umpiring duties shared. Witmer's Wonders started very slow and only plated 1 run in the 3rd but then put up 5, 2, 5 and 1 for a total of 14. Smith's Scrappers started quick with 4 and 2 but only got 3 in the last 5 innings for a total of 9. Simon's Smashers were down by 2 going into the last frame but the top of the order came up with 4 in the 7th to win it 16-14-9. Very entertaining  game for a 3 teamer as the fans in the stands will attest to. Ask Sally and John Merritt's wife.

Bobby Z.       3-4.                Jacobs.      4-5.                            Shirer.          3-4

Vandenburg.  3-4.                G. Baker.    2-4

Defensive play of the game was actually made in the 1st inning when Vandenburg made a quick throw to the plate from 2nd to keep the 5th run from scoring. Lee Baker caught it in the palm (not the web) of his glove and hung on. He revealed the catch in a post game interview. GREAT PLAY. 

Jimmy Laffoon turned 4 second to first double plays.
