Jan 29th Tuesday
Cobras vs Warriors - It was a crisp cold day at the start of the game. The sun was out and heating up the infield. It was a great day to play ball. Larry Chrest, Fred Dampier, Jim Laffoon, Ken Webber and Gerry Deridder led off the charge for the Cobras scoring 5 runs in the top of the 1st inning. The Warriors retaliated with Freddy Gonzales, Jimmy Vining, Don Scarbrough, Bill Rutan, Don Hawbaker, John Boito and Art to score 5 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning. The heat of the sun caused ball players to start peeling off layers of clothes making the second inning a repeat of hits with both teams scoring 5 runs each. Score 10 to 10. However it was a cold day for outfielders as the sun was a factor for both teams defense. The Cobras capitalized on the sun factor and scored 5 runs in the 3rd, 4 in the 4th and 3 in the 5th. The sun blinded the Warriors in the 3rd and 4th innings but were able to stroke 5 runs in the 5th, score Cobras 22 Warriors 15. In the 7th inning the Cobras scored 5 more runs hitting a total of 27. The Warriors remained scoreless after the 5th inning causing a flip flop in the 9th. Final score cobras 27 warriors 15.
