Friday, March 20th
What a fantastic finish to a shortened and crippled league season. 

I want to commend Don Witmer, Bob Hite and the BOD for their dedicated work to make it so good until COVID-19 stepped up to the plate. Any one of our fantastic pitchers can and will end up striking it out. Especially Don Lamay, our inductee into the HOF this year who was also 4-4 today and 3-4 Tuesday in 3 team national league games. WAY TO GO DON!!!  By the way, I think he is 86 years old. 

We will beat COVID-19 and play another day, hopefully not far down the line. America does have a fantastic team working on stopping the virus. We all need to do our part. 

A special thank you to Bob and Melanie Hite for staying up half the night and making cookies for today. Ralph didn't get them all. 😆 lol. Our mascot Brandi got one that someone dropped in the parking lot. 

Fans in the stands today we're Betty Wells, Joyce Twinam, Sally Strait and Brandi. I also want to commend Tom Capozzi for a fine job of umpiring again. Thanks Tom. 

Now, onto the last game UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  That game on Tuesday came down to the last inning between 2 of the 3 teams and the catch up team scored 8 in the open inning to win it. 

Today's teams were Hite, Strait and Fabian. Bob's team mustered a total of 8 runs to take home the bronze. Strait and Fabian seesawed the whole game with the Flyers scoring 2 in the bottom of the 7th to win it 21-20-8.   

Here are the hitters for all 3 teams. 

Burner 3-4. Hite 2-3. B.J. 3-4. Vandenburg 2-4. Remington 2-4. Benson 2-3. Learn 2-3.

Hill 4-5. Essenmacher 4-5. Boswell 4-5. Hudson 5-5. Wells 2-4. King 2-4. 

Coffman 3-4.  DeJoung 5-5. Morton 4-5. Rutan 4-5. Bertran 3-5. Zelazny 4-4. Lamar 4-4. Fabian 3-4. 

Again, congratulations Don Lamay and welcome newcomers including John Bertran.
