Friday, June 17th

2 teams today were managed by Robert Spitaleri and Loren Fabian so we'll call them Spit and Fabe.  Spit had the visiting team and jumped to a 10-1 lead at the end of 3 and it didn't seem like they would ever look back as they added 2 more in the 5th and 1 in the 6th.  But The Fabe team managed 4 runs in 4th and 7th innings to pull within 4 with 2 innings to go. And we had to be thankful for a nice breeze the entire game or it may have been over then, but umpire in chief, our commissioner, asked for a poll in the 5th inning to play 7 or 9 innings and all agreed on 9.  It really got interesting in the top of the 8th as the Spit team plated a big nickel to go up by 9 runs and the Fabe team put up a big goose egg.

Spit followed with a goose egg 🥚 in the top of the 9th.  The home team came off the field saying if all 14 player get a chance to hit we can tie or win this game. Didn't look very good for them, but they did send 15 batters up and pulled it off 19-18. Everyone had a good time and the home team was thankful for the breeze. 😆
