January 2nd Games

Before we recap today's games I want to remind everyone of the opening day luncheon on Tuesday, 6 January. It will be a hectic morning as we will be issuing uniforms, taking team pictures, and playing exhibition games,.... all before lunch. We would ask everyone to be on time. That time is 09:00. Report directly to your assigned field. Pool players need to sign in at the desk.

Field B

Team Tutrani took on Team Rounds in the first game of the new year. Dave's guys started slow but managed to tie Mark's team after two innings. The next four innings saw Team Tutrani extending their lead every inning. After six innings, they enjoyed  a ten run lead. The seventh inning was exciting for both teams. Dave's guys put up six to narrow the lead, but then Mark's folks responded with five of their own. Team Rounds only managed three runs in the last two innings, so Team Tutrani did not have to bat in the ninth. Final score Team Tutrani 19 and Team Rounds 15.

Needing three to tie, Team Hill failed as they only managed to get one hit in the ninth. The final score was  Team Ouding 22 and Team Hill 19.

December 26 Game

Before we get to today's game, I just received the score sheets from Tuesday's late game so let me start with the game between Team DeLoach and Team Tutrani. What started out as a great game with both teams scoring three runs in the first. Unfortunately for Team Tutrani that was as close as they were to get.. Team Deloach won six of the next eight innings, putting up  four or more runs in four innings along the way. By the eighth inning Team DeLoach was up 24 to 12. With their backs to the wall, Team Tutrani needed a miracle to pull out the victory. Alas, it was not to be as a double play shut them down and they failed to score. Final Count was Team DeLoach 24 and Team Tutrani 12.

Outstanding performances

JR 3-4 w/ triple

Johnston 4-4

DeLoach 4-5

Vanderhyde 3-4

We had a very exciting three team game on field B. The defenses were aided by having three American league shortstops in the line up. Needless to say, it was hard to get one past that side of the infield. Team Hill found it particularly difficult as they were shut down with no runs in the second through the fourth innings. They did put up eight runs in the sixth and seventh innings to make it respectable. Team DeLoach did not  suffer the same fate, as they scored multiple in six of the seven innings and put up a total of 22 runs for the game.  Team Rounds fell behind early but scored in every inning to keep it close..Their big inning was the sixth when they scored six runs to close within three. So going into the last inning they found themselves chasing eight runs. In the bottom of the inning they did manage to put up four but it was not enough. Final score: Team DeLoach 23, Team Rounds 19, and Team Hill 12.

Outstanding Performances

Nester 4-4

Zelazny 4-4

December 23 Games

We will only be the game on field B between Team Ouding and Team Lopez as the game on field c was running late.

Santa came early for Team Ouding, as Santa delivered cold bats and colder gloves to every member of Team Lopez. The game's outcome was never in doubt as Team Ouding was able to score at will. They scored multiple runs in all but two innings. On defense, they managed to snuff out every time Team Lopez looked like they were going to mount a charge. For the nine innings, they only managed to score in four of the innings.It was so lopsided that we invoked the flip flop rule denying Team Ouding their last two at bats.  The final score was Team Ouding 17 and Team Lopez (drum roll please) 4.. For the losing team, the only highlight was the cookies that Donna brought to the field. They were delicious.

Outstanding performances

Medina 3-4

DeLong 3-4

Toro 4-4
