Friday the 13th

We had a great three team game today. Team Matta had a strong lineup with Scarborough, Matta, Tony Q,, Castelleggo, BJ, Crowell, Morton, Herbie, Accetta, Wells, and L Baker. While they had four scoreless innings, they manged to put enough runs up to be only two runs behind going into the last inning. Team Zelazny had Sherer, Hill, Rutan, Book, Zelazny, King, Marino, Hawbaker, Bess, LaPiccillo, and G Baker. They jumped out to an early lead scoring four in the first inning. Unfortunately the had three scoreless innings and only managed four more runs through six to retain their lead. Team Gonzalez consisted of Hicks, Gonzalez,

Duff, Boswell, Torok, Spitileri, Johnson (new player), Thompson, Capozzi, Witter, and Merritt.. They too had three scoreless innings through six and found themselves three runs behind.

So, going into the last inning , the score stood Matta 6, Zelazny 8, and Gonzalez 5. With two outs, Team Matta mounted a rally and managed to tie the score at 8. Call it what you will, when Team Zelazny came to bat, a rainbow appeared off to the left. 15 batters and 11 runs later the side was quietly retired. Team Gonzalez, with a chance to get back in it managed only one run, ending the game with the final score..Team Zelazny 19, Team Matta 8, and Team Gonzalez 6.
