Friday, January 20th.
Wow!!!!  What a game between Strait's Tigers and Fabian's Flyers. Tigers jumped out with 5 and Flyers answered with their own 5. That set the stage for a high scoring game.  It was tied 20-20 after 6 innings and Strait's boys led 28-21 with the Flyers coming up in the bottom of the 9th. Guess what? They tied it up with a barrage of hits and had a chance to win it with the bases loaded and 2 outs. Fabian grounded out to 2nd. 

10th inning started with Strait on 2nd and got to 3rd and scored on a sac fly but the runner on first was called out on an appeal for leaving too early and the run deemed not scored. So the score remained tied and the Flyers had the bases loaded with 2 out when Jim Laffoon stepped to the plate and smacked a single up the middle for a run and Doug Hapeman scored from 2nd in case they needed 2. Final Score was Fabian's Flyers 29 and Strait's Tigers 28.

Ed Kline was the winning pitcher after coming in from the bullpen, gave up 5 in the 8th but shut them down in the 9th and 10th.

It is nice to include as many players names in the write ups as possible. However, this cannot be done without accurate books. Managers need to make an effort to have the score sheets as complete as possible.  The Flyers had HRs by Andrews, Hapeman, Schapeler and triples by Boswell and Laffoon.
