 Steve Hill's Dukes vs Robert Spitaleri's Fighting Coconuts

 Steve's Dukes came out swinging very well and jumped off to an early lead and never trailed in the game. Every hitter on his team got at least 2 hits. Stellar hitting came from the bats of Steve Hill, George Vanderhyde, Frank Jacobs, Bob Vandenberg, Wayne Vorhes, Sam Lopez, Tom Witten, Ed Spegel and Steve Pinnick. On defense for the Dukes, Joe Peske was very pesky against the Coconuts. He caught everthing that went to left field-fair or foul.

The Fighting Coconuts started a little slow in hitting but had a couple of rallies late in the game. Jimmy Vining and Dave Hartzell went 4 for 4 at bat while Gary Burtner, Robert Spitaleri and Lee Baker went 3 for 4. Lee Baker also made an excellent catch of a ball thrown from left center by Jim Reed to beat the runner coming from 3rd base.

Final score was 22 for the Dukes versus 15 for the Coconuts.
