Toro's Yankees met JD's KFC team on field B for a double header. The games proved very exciting and were close up to the end.
 
The first game saw an extremely close game until the fourth inning when the Yankees pulled away after the bottom of the line up rattled off six straight singles followed by Dave Doerbaum's bases clearing home run over the left center field fence. Holding on to a three run lead going into the ninth inning things looked pretty good for the Yanks especially with the Chickens leading off with their last two batters coming to the plate. Seventeen batters and twelve runs later the Yanks finally got the Chicks out. The yanks still had some fight in them as they managed to score twice in the bottom of the seventh. Final score KFC 21 and the Yankees 15. Key performances from the Yanks were Randy Crowell, Rey Jimenez, and Josh Wells that went three for three, while Dave Doerbaum went three for four with a home run.. Key performers for KFC were Dave Shirer, Nilo Vega, JD, and Jose III who all went four for four during the game. Defensively Nilo and Jose Vidal were outstanding. JD was the winning pitcher
 
In the second game, The Yankees won the first three innings building a four run lead over KFC. The Chicks closed to within three in the fourth and it looked like this one might go down to the last out.This was truly a seesaw battle as the Yankees scored two more in the fifth and then in the sixth the  Chicks doubled the run production of the Yanks. The Yankees then went three and out in the ninth and feared the worse after watching JDs team score twelve in the last inning of the first game. So trailing by a score of 12 to 8 JD brought the middle of the line up to the plate. Four batters later the game was over and the Yankees celebrated a well earned victory. Key performances for the Yankees were Don Held, George Vanderhyde, and Steve Pinnick  each going 4 for 4. Key performances for the KFC team were Dave Shirer and Nilo both going 3 for 3. Winning pitcher Josh Wells.
