Tuesday, Sept. 13th.
What a National League slugfest today. There was a total of 27 runs scored in the first 3 innings but we still decided to go 9 innings. Final score was Capozzi's Crusaders 28 and Simon's Smashers 14. With 42 runs being scored and a flip flop at the end, there was a lot of time consumed. If I were to highlight the hitters, the books show the Smasher's were 29-57 and the Crusaders were 39-49. Now we know if the books were kept according to MLB rules some of those hits would be errors or fielders choice. At my age my memory is not good enough to remember every play and pitch. So I will highlight what I do remember. For the Smashers, Simon was 3-5, King was 4-5, Lopez was 4-5, Dudley was 4-5 with his new bat. Almost everyone for the Crusaders had 3 to 5 hits (ACCORDING TO THE BOOKS). But outfield defense for the Crusaders was the name of the game. The infield had very few plays (and booted some of them) but the outfield was on target all morning. Bob Vandenburg caught everything hit at him in RF as Steve Hill did in LF and Ralph Bozwell, moving from 3B to LCF made 3 lightning speed catches on the run. And newcomer Ron Hampton (WELCOME RON) held his own while never having a fly ball hit at him, he kept everything in front of him and was 3-5 at the plate with RBI's.

Many fans in the stands. I couldn't even get all last names. Did the best I could.
Heather, Lynn, Judy, Diane, Jack (friends of Larry Strait). Pat Merritt, Nancy Frazier and Sally Strait.
Come on out fans and get down here snowbirds so we can get THREE games going.
The American League game on field B wasn't near as exciting as the National League game on Field C and we did not have any Fans cheering us on. I don't remember the score but the Home Team won and there was a Flip Flop involved. Ron Pepin entertained us at the beginning of the game with one of his displays of fine sportsmanship. Can't say what it was but it sure was funny.
