Two National League
teams played on field C today. Visitors Managed by Black led off with Bess,
followed with Boswell, Capozzi, Shaffer, Ridley, Black, Lapointe, Dudley,
Welton, LaMay, Strait, Lopiccolo, and Altemose.
Home team Managed by Ridley lined up in this order: S. Hill, Remington, Accetta, Learn, D. Hill,
Thompson, Martinez, L. Baker, Fabian, Witter, McPartlan and Bloom. In the first inning Bess led off with a
single moved to 2nd on an error and scored on a
double by Shaffer for the only run for the visitors in the first. After a long fly out to 2nd base by S. Hill, Remington singles as did Accetta, after 2
were out singles by D. Hill, Thompson and Martinez, three runs had crossed home
plate. End of one Visitors 1 Home
3.
In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings the visitors batted 4 hitters(?) and failed to
score. In the meantime the home team
hitters(?) batted 4 in the 2nd, 5 in the
3rd and 5 in the 5th without scoring a run.
Score remained the same at the end of the first inning. H-1, V-3.
At this point the hitters(?) were wondering what was going on. The reason was excellent pitching by Ridley
for the Visitors and Witter for the Home team.
Witter continued his performance for 3 more innings by posting O’s while
his team squeezed across a run in the 5th and 3
more in the 6th.
Score now 7 to 1 for the home team.
Boswell lead off the 8th with a long drive
over left center fielder for a home run.
The homer woke up the visitors as Capozzi, Shaffer, Ridley and Lapointe
all singled and 3 runs were across the plate.
Ridley than threw to zeros at the home guys and the score was Home 7 and
Visitors 4. Witter got his touch back in
the top of the 9th and set the visitors down 1 2
3 in the final at bat.
Fielding play of the
game was a long fly off the bat of Jerry Remington to left center field and
Denny Shaffer making an excellent catch while running toward the fence.
Leading hitter for
visitors was Boswell 2 for 3 with HR
Hittters for the
home team. Accetta 2 for 4, D. Hill 2 for
4, Martinez 3 for 3 Bloom 2 for 3.
Winning Pitcher –
Witter Great job by both pitchers.
No game next Friday,
Veterans Day.
