Today the boys from Winter Haven took on the crew at Solivita. This was the first game allowed at Solivita since the pandemic started.
The Winter Haven boys took the first game after falling behind in the 2nd inning. Final score was 9-7.
The Solivita crew took game 2, coming back in the 5th inning. Final score was 21-18.
Dave Doerbaum led the charge going 7/7 with 4 home runs.
Manny Rios followed behind with 3 home runs.
Other notable hits were Lou Guzman home run, Mark Tutrani 5/6 performance, Steve Hick and Tony Quinones both with 5 base hits each.
Charlie Giordano and Jose Rodriguez both with 4 base hits.
As usual, Jose Rivera made the catch of the day in right field with a snow cone catch that ended an inning.
We are looking to take them on again next month. Stay tuned for more games in the future.

Today we had 3 teams and a good time. We had a total of 31 players and the commissioner played defense for all three teams so everyone would get more bats. The teams had a mixture of mostly National League players but also some American League guys. The weather was good in that it was cloudy and not too hot. All 3 teams started well with 3 runs in the first inning. Then team 1 went cold and couldn't score, Teams 2 and 3 battled it out each inning with good hitting and defense. By the 6th inning teams 2 and 3 were tied 9 runs each. In the 7th inning team 1 managed one run and were dismissed. Then the remaining teams had a chance to win the game. Alas, neither team did score and the game ended at a tie.
We thank Lou Guzman for umpiring behind the plate the whole game.
Commissioner Witmer announced that next Tuesday we would not play since the fields will be under rework.
