Friday, February 23rd
Today's game was a tale of two halves. At the end of the top half of 6 the Dukes led 29-12 but with a 6 run 6th and a 9 run 7th the score was 30-27 , Dukes, at the end of 8. Two outs in the top of 9 and a fly ball to right looked like no score for the Dukes but the ball was dropped and they went on to score 6 and the Mets could only put three in the bottom of nine for a final score of 36-30 in favor of the Dukes.
Highlights for the Mets included five for five for Knox including a rare grand slam in the nine-run 7th inning along with four runs scored. For the second time this season manager Lopiccolo also went five for five at the plate.
Knox also scored four runs followed with three runs scored were Gelinas and Brock
The Dukes were led by Burtner and Reed scoring four runs each followed by Hill, Gutenberg, Fultz, Andrews, and Liberto scoring three each.
Loren Fabian umpired most of the game but had to leave to go over to the American Legion for the quilt presentation which he has chaired since its inception in Winter Haven. Congratulations on umpiring and giving leadership to the quilt program.
