TUESDAY, AUGUST 23rd
We had enough players for four teams today. We are looking forward to when we can have four or more teams every day. Forty players showed up and each team had ten players. That is a lot of work in this Florida heat. The American League played nine innings while the National League played seven innings. Great ball games in both leagues. In the American League, the score was tied 7-7 in the bottom of the sixth. The visiting team scored 5 in the top of the seventh to take a big lead. The home team could only manage one run in the bottom of seventh but held the visiting team scoreless in the next two innings while scoring five runs in the bottom of the eight inning. Final Score was 13-12. BJ Kallister and Larry Wells pitched great games with Larry being the winning pitcher.
OK snowbirds, August is almost over and it is time to start migrating back to WHSS. The National League game was fantastic. It ended up Simon's Smashers 20 and King's Kruisers 20. Can't get any closer than that. It started out Smashers 14 and Kruisers 9 after 4 innings then got tied up 14-14 after 5 and the Kruisers put up a nickel in the bottom of the 6th to go up by 5 and had only 1 out bases loaded but it wasn't the open inning. Smashers came back with 6 in the top of the 7th for a 20-19 lead and the Kruisers got 1 in the bottom and everyone was drenched and did not want to play an extra inning.
Bob Hite played middle infielder for King and caught 5 (five) hot line drives up the middle. Good news is he never had to leave the ground for any of them. Good job Bob.
Tied pitchers were Willie Morton and Pat Lopiccolo. We'll give them each a BIG W. Great game.
Fans in the stands were Pat Merritt, Nancy Frazier and Melanie Hite.
See YALL Friday.
