February 26th game between Flyers and Fighting Coconuts
First of all we were blessed to have Terry Feehan in the stands to watch our game. Terry is 92 years old and a long time softball player here who is highly respected and loved. Thank you Terry for your encouragement to us all.
Both teams started out strong with runs in the first inning. Then both teams went cold for an inning. The Coconuts scored 2 more in the 3rd and 5 in the 5th inning and finally 3 in the 8th. The Flyers hitters had good at bats even if the final score doesn't show it. Fabian's Flyers were led in hitting by Jerry DeJongh, Ralph Boswell who hit 2 home runs, Ray Lavesque who hit a home run, and Kirk Essenmacher.
The Flyers scored another run in the 4th inning with no further runs scored.
On defense, Jerry DeJongh made a number of excellent plays and Ralph Boswell made an outstanding catch of a low line drive ball to his shoestrings.
The Coconuts were led in hitting by Bob Zelazny and Gary Burtner who both went 4 for 4. Also hitting strong were Freddie Gonzales and Bob Hudson. Defensively, Bob Zelazny made a saving catch in right center field. And Greg Denny made several good stops for outs in the infield.
Final score: Flyers 5
Coconuts 16
