Winter Haven Senior Softball

 Tuesday, June 21st

Great game today managed by Bob Zelazny and Chris Constantine with the Constantine score sheet being manned by Wally. Constantine was ahead 5-3 after 3 innings in what turned out to be a fairly low scoring affair.  Zelazny went up 

9-5 after 5 innings and it was all knotted up at 9 after 6 innings. But that was the end of the scoring for Zelazny as they put up goose eggs 🥚 in the last 3 innings while Constantine scored a total of 7 runs over the last 3 innings for final of 16-9 in favor of the Constantine team. 

There was not an abundance of hits in the low scoring game but I will list the ones that were recorded for the Zelazny team. 

Each of the following players had 2 hits.

    Lynch, Learn,  Boito, Castilleja, Lopez, 

    Vandenberg 

Each of the following players contributed 1 hit

    Spitaleri, Mark T.  Zelazny, Muniz, B.J., Gelesky,

    Lopiccolo

Only 2 hits were recorded on the other sheet.

I have a quite good memory,  but its just not very long so I cannot list the hits for Chris's team but I'm sure there were many. 

Again, the gentle breeze stayed with us the entire game enabling us to play the entire 9 innings. 

See y'all Friday and stay safe.

Comments from the Commissioner:

Fabian is doing a great providing write-ups after every game. He needs the help of all of the scorekeepers to mark the hits, runs and outs on the scoresheet so he can give credit where credit is deserved. If you want to learn how to keep score, I can teach you in about 1 minute. It is a fun job and keeps you in the ballgame. 

There was a board meeting on Tuesday and one of the board members wants us to chalk a line at first base to try to prevent collisions. The board opted to have a first base fielding clinic instead of the chalk line which I volunteered to do. We will hold the clinic soon and if you ever plan on playing first base you should attend. The clinic should take about 5 minutes. 

The ballfields will be closed on Tuesday, June 28th for maintenance. If that changes, I will keep everyone informed as I get more information.
