We finally had enough players four teams. The American League played on Field B and the National league played on Field C. It was 100 degrees in the shade. The National League decided to play seven inning but the American League played nine innings.
The American League game stayed close for the entire game. The lead changed several times. At the start of the ninth inning, the visitors were ahead by two runs. They managed to score one more run for a three run lead. The home team came up in the bottom of the ninth with the top of the lineup batting. Steve Hicks led off with a single, Dave Shirer hit into a fielders choice, Jose Rodriguez singled, Dave Douerbaum singled and drove in two runs. The home team was still down one run when Don Witmer singled, Randy Crowell hit a deep fly ball for an out but Dave and Don both moved up one base. Bobby Reagan came up with the tying run at third base and the winning run at second base. Bobby Reagan hit a nice line drive to score both runs. Final Score: Home Team 13 Visitors 12.
The AL Visiting Team was made up of Jose Rivera, Rad Pcholinski, Tony Quinones, Gerry DeRidder, Luis Abreu, Ron Pepin, Miguel Gonzalez, Bob Zelazny, BJ Kallister and Jose Soto.
The AL Home Team was made up of Steve Hicks, Dave Shirer, Jose Rodriguez, Dave Doerbaum, Don Witmer, Randy Crowell, Bobby Reagan, Willie Morton, Poke Rodriguez, Richard Marino and Larry Wells

Simon's Smashers and King's Kruisers teamed up to take on Fabian's Flyers but came up on the short end of the stick 19-14. The Flyers started off the 1st with 4 runs and the Smashers answered with 5 in the bottom. After 4 innings it was Flyers 9 and Smashers 8. It was determined before the start it would be a 7 inning game due to the heat which turned out to be a very good decision. At the end of 6 the score was 14-10 and tongues were hanging out and shirts were drenched but we had fun. Just moving slower than the 1st inning. In the top of the 7th the Flyers put up a nickel for a total of 19 and the Smashers could only muster 4 for a total of 14. Ron Thompson pitched the entire game for the Smashers. Sam Lopez started for the Flyers and got the win but had mid inning relief help from Jimmy Laffoon then came back in to get the save. Ha, what a plan. Teamwork and comradery.
The defensive play of the game was by Bob Hite playing out of position at third base racing away from the infield to make a backhanded catch of a pop fly down the 3rd base line. Great catch Bob.
Lots of strong hitters.
