Friday Game Recap

We had 35 players today, so we fielded three 12 player teams since Pete Gelesky volunteered to catch for two of them. Thanks Pete. Today's managers were Steve Hill (hitting), Jeff Rabideau (sitting), and Mark Tutrani (fielding). True to form Steve scored five runs in the first  inning to take an early lead as the other teams only managed a single run each. The second inning saw Jeff's guys tie up the game. From there on out, it was all Team Hill as they built a five-run lead. Unfortunately, Team Hill failed to score in either the eighth or ninth innings, leaving the door open for the other teams. Jeff's team also put up goose eggs in the last two innings which just left Team Tutrani with an opportunity for the win. They certainly tried hard, as they scored two in the eighth and five more in the ninth to secure second place. Final score: Team Hill 15, Team Tutrani 13. and Team Rabideau 10. The highlight of the day was the unexpected visit by Wayne Shearer. It was great to see him again.

We had an interesting three team game today. Steve Hill managed the fielding team, Ron Pepin the hitting team, and Dave Rounds the sitting team. The first two teams did not score in the first inning, but, true to form, Steve's guys put up five runs and the shouts of "stacked team" resounded throughout the park. But as the old saying goes, "that's why we have to play the entire game. Ron's boys never really got going  as they were shut out in six of the seven innings. Meanwhile, Team Rounds  plugged away and was only trailing by two runs in the fifth. Team Hill had scored five runs in two of their innings and was coasting along with a slight lead. The sixth inning was key to the outcome of the game. Pepin and his guys failed to score again while Team Rounds put up three big runs to take the lead as Team Hill was shut out. The seventh and deciding inning was exciting. Unfortunately Team Pepin went three and out, while Team Rounds had six batters come to the plate but were also unable to score. That left Team Hill with a chance to pull out the victory with the top of the line up coming to bat. With one out and one man on, Ray Howard made two amazing catches looking directly into the sun and ended the game. Final score: Team Rounds 13, Team Hill 12, and Team Pepin 3.

The event will be a two person scramble/best ball. Pick your partner or we can assign one for you. Cost is $30 for golf and Pizza following the round..

 

We had three teams today, but only two showed up. Unfortunately for Don Ouding and his team there are not a lot of highlights. They scored one run in the first inning and then were shut out the rest of the way. Mark Tutrani held them to just 10 hits for the game. Dave Round's team did better as they scored nine runs and actually held the lead through the third inning. Steve Hill's  team started strong with five in the first before being shut down in the second and third. A five run inning in the fourth and fifth innings provided them with a six run lead.  The final scores were Hill 17, Rounds 9 and Ouding 1.

Message from Acting Commissioner

Surgery update 

First, I'd like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Yesterday I went in for my shoulder surgery at 10:30 am. Waking up afterward was rough, but I’m home recovering. My wife Jackie met with the doctor, and he said everything went well and that I should have a good recovery. I see him in two weeks, so I'll know more then. 

On another note, I had my procedure done at Celebration orthopedic. They have their own surgery center that is only a year old. It is a beautiful and clean facility. I would recommend this to anyone.

Once again thank you

Lou Guzman Acting Commissioner. 

Actualización de la cirugía

En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por sus pensamientos y oraciones. Ayer fui a mi cirugía de hombro a las 10:30 de la mañana. Despertar después fue difícil, pero estoy en casa recuperándome. Mi esposa Jackie se reunió con el médico, y me dijo que todo salió bien y que debería tener una buena recuperación. Lo veo en dos semanas, así que sabré más entonces.

En otra nota, me hice el procedimiento en Celebration Orthopedic. Tienen su propio centro de cirugía que solo tiene un año de antigüedad. Es una instalación hermosa y limpia. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera.

Una vez más, gracias

Lou Guzmán Comisionado Interino.

Tuesday,s Game

We ended up with fourteen and fifteen players on each team today but I still think everyone enjoyed themselves, especially Wally since his team won.  The downside was that folks only managed to get up to bat a few times. The game started out with both Fred and Wally' teams scoring five in the first inning, while Steve Hill's team went three and out. Unfortunately it never got better for them as they only managed six runs for the game. They put up five goose eggs in the game, A lot of that was the result for hitting into four double plays. Wally took the lead in the second and held on to win it all. Fred pulled within one run in the fifth inning and could never get closer. Final score Wally 10, Fred 9, and  6.
