Friday, December 30th.


On a Cold and Windy Friday Morning, playing outfield in Winter Haven was a comedy of errors. Consequently a total of 55 runs were scored as only 2 fly balls were caught in the outfield and only 1 pop fly in the infield. Many errors and misjudged fly balls. Even some pitches couldn't make it to the plate accurately. 

Duff Hill made his managerial debut with Duff's Diamondbacks and help from Jeff Simon. The Diamondbacks beat Fabe's Flyers 34-21. WOW!!!  There was also a total of 11 home runs in the game 7 of which were by the Flyers but still got beat soundly. 

The defensive play of the game was made by rookie George Knox playing 2B in the 7th inning. A line shot was headed for grass up the middle until George stretched hard to the backhand and cradled the ball in the web of his glove. Unfortunately, he pulled a left thigh muscle and had to leave the game except for batting.  He did hit one more time with a runner from home and got his fourth hit of the day. I know he will be a fine addition to WHSS and certainly hope he is ok for opening day Tuesday. 

See y'all Tuesday for opening day. Stay healthy and let's have a super fun year in league.
