Winter Haven Senior Softball

Friday, Sept 4th

A good and very hot game in the National League today while the American League was playing a doubleheader with the Solivita boys on Field C. Maybe Don will tell how the Solivita games came out. I umpired today which is about my softball limit until I can get my right shoulder fixed. 

The Double Header with Solivita was a Split. Winter Haven won the First Game 20-19 on a walk-off home run by Mike Vacarro and Solivita won the second game on a two out bases loaded triple by Joey 16-15. 

It started out as a game of 5's as in the first 2 innings Kings team scored 4 and 5 runs and Vandenbergs team scored 5 and 5 runs. Then the heat took over which may have had a heat index of 105+ (note the 5) on the infield. That is also when the managers decided to only play 5 innings. (note the 5) 0's were put up in the 3rd and the 4th got another 5 for Vandy and a 3 for King. Vandy got one more in the top of the open inning and King put up a goose egg for a final of 15-13.
