The Steve Hill Dukes hosted the Robbie Spitaleri Coconuts on Field D today .
The Coconuts jumped out to an early lead with 4 in the opening inning , the Dukes answered with 5 in the bottom of the inning . 5-4 Dukes after one .
It looked like it was going to be a high scoring game , but both teams defenses took over , or the bats cooled . Neither team scored again until the Coconuts tie the game in the 4th at 5 . Both teams scored one in the 5th . The game was 10-8 Coconuts in the 7th before they took over the game in the 8th with 5 runs , following a 3 run homer by Robbie Spitaleri extending their lead to 15-8 .
The Dukes come back fell short as they managed just 3 in the bottom of the 9th . Final score 15-11 Coconuts .
Hitting stars , Coconuts , Gary Burtner , Jim Reed , and Joe LeTourneau 3-4 , Dukes George Vanderhyde and Ken Gelinas 4-4 .
Thank you Don Witmer for umpiring .
