Today’s game on Field D was a slugfest between Wally’s World and the Yankees. Although Wally could not be present as a result of an accident, his team responded with a barrage of hits and some solid defense. Their offense scored 5 runs in 4 different innings and took a commanding lead over the Yankees. After 5 innings it was WW 21-8.   After being behind 23-8 going into the bottom of the 6th inning, the Yankees breathed some life . After batting 14 players, they scored 9 runs to close the gap to 23-17.   Both teams went scoreless in the 7th.   WW came alive again in the 8th and scored 5 on big hits by Skidmore(the Ageless Wonder) and Lefty Miller to put the game out of reach. Final score was 30-20 in favor of Wally’s World.

All players on WW  had at least 2 hits each which led to the plethora of runs. Great job to all.  Henry Rivero was the MVP for the Yankees, going 5-6 and missing a second consecutive cycle by a home run. Great job Henry. 
Thank you to all the pool players, we needed (6) to field 11 on a side.  

Congratulations to all the teams, especially the Tournament Champs , Hill’s Dukes for a great season. Many thanks to the umpires, pool players and especially our Commissioner for another fine season.  Hope to see everyone at the Sertoma Fields on Friday.
 
Lastly, prayers and well wishes to Wally Wallace and get well soon.
