A very high scoring game today on a rough, sandy infield. Many untrue hops. The 12 man teams were managed by Don Ouding and Wally Wallace. Don and Wally for the rest of this write up. There were only 3 goose eggs 🥚 in the entire game and 2 of those were in the 1st 2 innings by Don's team while Wally was putting up nickles. So, 10-0 after 2 innings. BUT Don's guys put on their hitting shoes and tied it at 10 in the top of 3. Then the scoring just kept coming and there was only one inning when only 1 run was scored and one other with 0 scored.
Going to the top of the 9th it was 27-24 in favor of Wally so they just had to hold Don's team down, but couldn't be done. They scored 7 in the open inning to take their only lead of the game. Now, just hold Wally down and walk away with the W.
But not to be done in this game. Wally's guys tied it with 4 and Norm Learn stepped to the plate with 1 out. Runners at 1st and 2nd and dropped a soft liner over the 1st base man's outstretched arm for the game winner. WAY to go Norm.
Final score 32-31 Wally.
