6, 2016 Field C.
A two
team game was played on Field C from National League players. Visiting team Managed by Larry Strait and the
Home team managed by Larry Powell.
Visitors
players were S. Hill, Kline, Guspyt, McLellan, Learn, Strait, Thompson, Witter
and G. Baker. Home team players were
Jones, D Hill, Spitaleri, Zakrowski, Bess, Powell, Goreth, Lopiccolo, Barnes,
LaMay, and Welton.
First a
note about scorekeeping. I here from
many of the players that they like to read the article about the ball
games. Well it is difficult to write an
article when you cannot tell what players are doing. Every ball hit is not a hit, some are errors
some are Fielder’s Choice. The score sheet shows BB (Base on Balls) 1B (Single)
and so forth – mark the on the sheet.
Thanks.
Now to
the game. Visitors blasted off for 5
runs in the first two innings and were held scoreless in the
3rd. 5 more in the
4th and 4 in the 5th.
Well you get the idea anyway.
Home team rallied for 1 in the first and two in the 3rd and
4th. But the 5th
was a big inning for the home team. We
batted around plus some and put up 8 big runs in the 5th. The visitors came back with another 11 runs
over the next 3 innings for a total of 30 runs.
After the home team managed only one hit in the bottom of the
8th, Manager Powell put a plan together to score 16 runs in the
bottom of the 9th to come back and tie the ball game. Just about the time we were about to take the
field it started to rain. The visitors
picked up their bats and gloves and went home.
Does that mean we won the ball game?
No just kidding guys. It was a
fun day and an awesome show of hitting.
Steve
Hill and Learn hit home runs. Both well
hit homers.
Oh ! the
final score was 30 to 14.
