 WINTER HAVEN SENIOR SOFTBALL  January 4, 2022

                  Sammy Lopez' YANKEES  -vs-  Mike O'Callahan's LEGION
This game was always too close to call from beginning to end.  The Yankees 
took an early 1st inning lead, scoring 5 runs.  The Legion then scored 4 runs 
in their 1st inning.  The Yankees did not score in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th innings.  
While the Legion scored 5 in the 2nd, 2 in the the 3rd, 4 in the 4th and 3 in the 
5th inning.  The Yankees fought back hard and furious, scoring 10 runs in the 
6th inning, while the Legion could only manage 4 in that same inning.  In the 
7th, the Yankees added on 6 more runs and the Legion had a scoreless 7th.  
The Yankees then added 3 runs in the 8th, while the Legion scored 2 runs 
in that inning.  Going into the 9th inning, both teams were tied at 24 runs 
each.  The Legion held the Yankees scoreless in the 9th inning.  The 
Legion had two runners on base, at 1st and 2nd.  They were down to 
their last out.  A blast was sent into center field.  The 2nd base runner 
took off for 3rd.  Somehow the throw into the infield, eluded the 2 Yankee 
defenders, and the Legions runner on 3rd, took off, scoring the winning run.  
This game was a nail-biter from beginning to end.
