Friday, Jan 6th
Today we had to play three teams because Field A wasn't ready for play.
It was the Fabian Flyers, Black Nationals, and Powell Braves.
It was a close game right up to the last inning. The game was stop temporary when Penny got hurt sliding into third base. Hurt her knee and had to call for ambulance.
We all hope she recovers quickly.
All three teams scored in the first inning with Braves taking the early lead with 5 runs with the other two teams scored two runs each.
In the top of the  seventh inning, the score was Flyers 7, Nationals 12, Braves 12.
The Flyers scored one more run, Nationals scored one to take the lead, Braves scored two runs to win the game.
Final score: Flyers-8, Nationals -13, Braves-14.
Special defensive plays of the day was that each Team's first baseman turned a double play, by catching a hard line drive and then tagging the runner off first base.
I don't ever remember seeing that happen in the all the games I have ever participated in.(that's a lot!)
Leading hitters were: Jim Laffoon 3-4, Dean Schapeler 4-4, Bill Bowley 2-3, Jerry Witter 3-4.
Ray Roy 3-4, Don Ing 2-3, Mohan 2-3,
Juan Castillo 3-4, Fred Dampier 3-4, Jack Minder 2-3, Arvel Waddell 2-3, Larry Powell 2-3.
