American League Update – Tuesday, April 14, 2026

It was a beautiful day for softball as members of the National League joined forces with the American League on Field “A.” The matchup between Team JD and Team Dana got off to a wild start, with both teams scoring 5 runs each early on.

After the opening inning, Team Dana began to pull ahead, building a solid lead. By the 4th inning, Dana’s team was leading 17-12. Team JD fought valiantly, keeping the game competitive, but in the end, Team Dana held on to win 17-15.

A great battle and a perfect day for softball!

Tuesday Game Summary

Today was one for the record books. After providing ten players to the American League, we still managed to play a three team game on Field B. Today's managers were Don Ouding, Wally, and Steve Hill. With Loren recovering from back surgery, the man behind the plate became the men behind the plate, as we relied on the sitting team to provide someone to call balls and strikes. I think everyone would agree that we missed Loren..

So what about the records shattered today? First is total runs scored in a five-inning game..67.Second was the time it took to complete five innings of play: 2 hours and 17 minutes. I am sure you noticed that we completed two less innings than we would normally play. That is because the consensus was that we had played long enough, scored enough runs, and had too many people that had appointments.

At the end of the first inning the scores were 4,5,5. After two inning the scores were 9,8,10 It remained close after three innings 14,10,15. Each team scored two runs in the fourth inning (the lowest score for any inning). It was at this point that the managers elected to shorten the game. Don's team scored five runs in the fifth inning to retake the lead. That lead was short-lived as Steve's team scored 12 runs and ended up going from last to first. Wally tried to motivate his team as they chased nine runs. The first two batters got on base and scored and it looked like if they couldn't over take Steve, they could catch Don. Unfortunately for them they then went three and out. Final score: Team Hill 26, Team Ouding 21, and Team Wally 19.

Friday Game Summary

We managed to have a game in both leagues today thanks to some of the National League superstars moving over to complement the American League roster.. We don't have a write-up from that game but here is the write up of a very interesting three team game on Field B. Before we get into the game I want to acknowledge the three three managers..Mark Tutrani, Dave Rounds, and Wally as well as Loren who calls balls and strikes every game. The games don't work without their volunteering.

Wally managed and pitched  for the hitting team. and had them fired up. They scored five runs in each of the first two innings giving them a lead that was not threatened until the last inning. They also played very good defense, holding Dave's team to only eight runs through the eighth inning.

Dave's team trailed after six innings but saved their best for the final inning, scoring five runs. What was really impressive for Dave's team was the defense and pitching. Behind Bobby Ayers' pitching and a very solid defense, they managed to hold Mark's team scoreless through the first six innings. This was no easy feat as Mark's team was very strong.

Despite not scoring until the seventh inning, Mark's team never gave up and battled the entire game.  They finally got the bats working in the seventh inning, as eight batters came to the plate before the  last out. Along the way, they managed to get four of them across the plate.

Final score: Team Wally 16, Team Rounds 13, and Team Tutrani 4.

Tuesday Games

It was obvious from the level of excitement, that players were glad to be back at the DiamondPlex.Unfortunately we received sad news regarding Joe D'Herin. He passed away peacefully at his home last night. I stopped by and gave Nancy the card each of you signed. She wanted me to thank you for the card and your prayers throughout this journey.

Team Wally and Team Tutrani played on Field A. It was a close game the entire way, with neither team ever able to separate themselves from the other. The largest difference occurred in the first inning when Mark's guys took a three run lead.. They relinquished the lead in the third inning but regained it in the fifth, holding it through the eighth. Team Wally scored three runs in the ninth to take a one run lead. Team Tutrani answered immediately as the first runner scored to tie the game but that was it as they failed to score another run. The game ended in a tie, Team Wally 14 and Team Tutrani 14.

Outstanding performances

Guttenberg 4-4

Team Hill as home against Team Ouding in another very close game. It was a game of feast or famine as both teams either scored mulitple runs or put up goose eggs. After the second inning there was never more than one run separating the teams. Going into the ninth Team Ouding was up by a single run. They were unable to score in the top of the inning. Meanwhile, Team Hill scored two quick runs on four hits. Final score Team Hill 18 and Team Puding 17.
