Tuesday, September 8th
I didn't pick up the score sheets but have to write about this game I umped this morning. First of all, the weather was great compared to Friday's game that we could only go 5 innings because of the heat. Went the full 7 today with 3 teams. The game was really fun with many jokes and laughs. Y'all snowbirds don't get to enjoy these summer games with all the kidding and BS.
Now the game. Team 1 scored in every inning but the 2nd, only batted 6 times because of the flip flop. They ended up with 21 runs. Team 2 ended with 12 and team 3 ended with 10.
We all witnessed two amazing plays today. The first one was a true senior softball triple play. Bases loaded, no one out and a sharp ground ball to Ralph Boswell and he quickly steps on 3rd, FIRES to Sam Lopez at home for 2 who FIRES to first a step ahead ahead of the runner to complete the triple play. WOW!!!!
The other was a true major League catch made in the outfield by Mike Vacarro (hope I spelled it right) A power hitter was up (Dana Ferrande) so the outfielders were nearly on the warning track. The ball was hit very high to short left center, left center fielder Mike took off in a sprint from left center after it and we all thought -no way- he got close and went into a hook slide, reached out his glove and the ball stuck. I've been in this league about 7 years and that is the only time I've witnessed a round of applause coming from the dugout. What league commraderie!!! Way to go WHSS.
Fans in the stands. Joyce and Brandi. We miss you girls.
