Friday March 13th

Today on Field 3 at our home away from home, the Legion managed by Mike O'Callaghan, were home to the Braves, managed by Larry Strait.

Another nail biter between the Braves and Legion; final score Legion 25 to Braves 24.  With both teams combining for 80 hits and 49 runs.

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, this game was the straw that broke the camel's back as the Legion under Mgr. O'Callaghan clinched first place over all with four games remaining.  Special thanks has to go to Bob Zelazny who helped Mike in his selection of players in last December's draft. The lead in this game changed six times with Chris Constantine driving in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th.  

The scoring went as below :

Innings 1     2 3     4 5 6    7 8 9         Total

Braves     1     0 5     2 2 5    0 7 2           24

Legion         3     2 0     5 4 5    4 1 1 25                     

Winning Pitcher: Larry Wells

As usual, many good hitters on each team.
