National League Outcome Team 1 vs Team 6

Wally's World, managed by Wally Wallace, took on Pat LoPiccilo's Mets this morning in what promised to be a very close and exciting game. Alas, it was not to be. Wally"s World jumped out to a nine run lead before the Mets finally scored. This early lead not only held up but grew through the remainder of the game. The beat down was so severe that the managers elected to go with the double flip flop.(Don't tell Donnie or Loren).. Even that could help the Mets pull out the victory. In our loss, Wayne Sherar consoled us by leading the prayer circle and reminding us that there is always another day and that we should not despair. Looking back, perhaps  we can place the blame for the loss,by claiming it was due to someone inadvertently picking up John Bioto's bag with his glove and bat. Seriously, if found, please turn it in. Final Score of the game was Wally's World 24, Mets 16.

I  will try and highlight outstanding performances but could just put down Wally's World. The best of the best though included:

Pete Gutenberg 5-5 w/triple

Ken Ott 5-5w/2doubles

Freddy Gonzalez 5-5

Outstanding performances for the Mets included;

George Knox 5-5

Gary Bugner 4-5

Team Vining and Team LoPiccillo had a very exciting and interesting game today on Field C. We saw a little of everything There were disputed calls on an infield fly ruling, a batter running to first after getting a runner, a base runner running out of the base path , and an extremely close call at first base to end the game. Adding to that was that there were eleven lead changes in the game. Team Vining held part or the lead outright through the sixth inning. The seventh saw Team Lopiccillo take a four run lead. Team Vining answered with five in the top of the eighth. The lead changed again as Pat's team scored three to maintain a two run lead. Not to be bested Team Vining put up five in the ninth, putting Team Lopiccillo down by three. The game ended when John Turchetta drove in the winning run with two outs on the controversial call at first. The final score was Team Lopiccillo 28, Team Vining 27.

Team Toro and Team Lopiccilo faced off  on field C. Team Toro and their bats could not be stopped as they scored in every inning except the fifth. Perhaps they were tired from running the bases in that inning. Team Lopicilo had only two bright spots as they did win the first inning by out scoring Team Toro 4 to 2 and then in the fifth inning when they managed five runs. It might have been worse if not for the flip flop run, denying team Toro their last at bat.

George Knox 4-5
