TUESDAY, AUGUST 16th
Well, another fine game other than the first 2 innings of defense by the home team of Fabian's Flyers. King's Kruisers put up 9 in the first 2 innings thanks to many base hits to right field and some misplays on defense. It was 10-2 after 2 1/2 innings then it got competitive and was 10-10 after 6. Kruisers put up 3 in the 7th for a final of 13-10.
Kruisers consisted of Spitaleri, Chrest, Simon 2-4, Schapler, King 4-4, Thompson 4-4, Acetta 2-4, Mohan, Moots, Merritt and Gene Baker.
Flyers were manned by Torres, Lopez, Grabb 4-4, Laffoon 3-4, Hapeman 3-4, Norm, Hawbaker 3-4, Gibson, Barnes, Fabian 2-3, and Lee Baker.
Thompson was the WP and the Kruisers had many fantastic defensive plays. Simon up the middle had a great catch, King at SS had 2 running catches behind 3B. Moots had a great one behind 1st base on a foul ball to save the inning.
For the Flyers Laffoon fired a strike to L. Baker with the bases loaded for the first out of the 6th then got an inning ending double play. Fabian had 3 nice catches at middle infield on the outfield grass.
Holy cow. I forgot the play of the game made by Doug Hapeman. He charged in from centerfield on a sinking line drive and made the catch literally off his shoe laces. Fell down also but hung on. What a great addition Doug and the Kissimmee players have made to our wonderful WHSS.
2 fans in the stands. Pat Merritt and Nancy Frazier.
The National League played another 7 inning game due to the heat but the American League remained strong with 9 brutal innings on Field B. The final score was 16 to 15 and the losing team had the tying and go ahead runs on base when the 9th inning ended.
