Friday, October 20th
Teams were managed by Wally, Witmer and Spitaleri.
After 3 innings it was 6-2-3 in Wally's favor. Then the wheels came off for the other two teams and Wally's team went on to score 5-5-4 runs in their last 3 innings, not having to bat in the 7th because of the flip flop. Witmer's team did put on a comeback in the 7th, scoring 6 runs but Spit's team kept putting up those darn goose eggs. So, the final was Wally 20, Witmer 12 and Spitaleri 5.
I would like to note that new right fielder Kathie did reach 1st base on an infield hit and worked her way over to 3rd but there was a ground out to end the inning to keep her from scoring her first ever WHSS run.
The hitters.
4 hits. Keller, Constantine, Burtner, Henry
3 hits. Rusty, Hicks, Meyer, Rad, Wally
2 hits. Miguel, Rutan, Gutenberger, Mathew,
Spitaleri, Hill, Tutrani, Levesque, Vandenberg
Lopez, King
See y'all Tuesday

Note from the Commissioner: We tried something different today at the three-team game. We played two innings at a time beginning at the top of the third inning. The Hit Team batted in the third inning and when three outs were made, the bases were cleared, and the Hit Team batted again in the fourth inning. The Sit Team sat for two innings, and then they took their time at bat for the third and fourth innings. The Field Team played defense for two innings and then sat out the next two innings until it was their time to bat. Then, the Field Team batted for two innings. This was repeated for the fifth and sixth innings. The seventh inning was still the open inning. I was told some ballparks up north use this method to speed up the games. A typical three-team takes about 2.5 hours to play while a two-team game takes about 1.75 hours. The time saved is approximately 45 minutes and allows everyone to get to lunch or the golf course earlier. This will be important when we change to winter hours in November. I have started receiving feedback on from several players and would like to have comments from all the players who participated in last Friday's game. Talk to me or a Board member and let us know how you feel. THANKS.
