The American League flexed into four teams today for the first time this season. We have had a two team game, a three team game and now a four team game. Hopefully, we can have more four team games in the future.
On Field C, Al Guzzo's home team matched up against Jeff Stier's visiting team for a close game all the way to the end. The lead changed several times during the game and at the end of eight innings, Guzzo's team was ahead by three runs. Stier's team came up with the top of their lineup and Guzzo knew he was in trouble. After getting two outs, Dave Doerbaum came up with a runner on base and sent a bomb over the center field fence to cut Guzzo's lead to one run. The final out came with the go ahead runs on the bases for a final score of 21-20.
On Field E, Tommy Hamilton's team matched up against Larry Book's team. It was a great day for hitting. Game started out with Hamilton's team scoring 13 and Book's team posting 12 after 3 innings. The game tightened up in the middle innings with some great plays by Hamilton, Schultees,Rad, Guzman,Quinones, and Netzel. After 6 innings the score was 17-16 in favor of Hamilton. Book's boys clinched the game by scoring 10 runs in the 7th and 8th innings while holding Tommy's guys to just 1 run. Final score was 26-18 Book. Fun game to play in and good sportmanship from both squads.
