What a well battled game between Strait's Sluggers and Fabian's Flyers. Final was Fabian 22 and Strait 20 but so much fun from beginning to end. After 6 innings it was 16-14 in favor of the Flyers but the last 3 innings got very interesting when the Flyers put up a nickel in the 8th and thought they could coast which they did as they didn't score in the top of the 9th. But the Sluggers had other ideas as they put up 4 in the bottom of the 8th and another 4 in the bottom of the 9th and had Steve Hill at the plate representing the WINNING run before the rally was finally ended. It was a great game.
Winning pitcher was Larry Powell. Jimmy Laffoon made a great backhand stab of a liner off the bat of ever so dangerous Larry (Josh) Wells. Bobby C had a fantastic game at 2nd base for the Flyers, making no less than 7 fine fielding plays possibly more.
Russ King made a very fine flying catch on the outfield grass. Teammates were calling him twinkle toes. Great catch Russ. I hit that ball.
