Friday, April 19th
The American league had a game today as did the National League. I had the pleasure of umping the very well-played National league game which Jim Vining made his managerial debut and nearly upset long time manager Robert Spitaleri. Spitaleri started very strong and had leads as big as 8 runs but Jim's team kept battling back and tied it up in the bottom of the 8th at 24-24. Spitaleri's team took charge in the top of the 9th to score 6 for a final of 30-24. 

Many hits today and here they are.
6 hits.   Spitaleri 
5 hits.   Mathew, Pepin, Ramon, 
4 hits.   Mike, Andrews, Rick/HR
              Stuart/HR, Toro, Learn
              Ouding.
3 hits.   Henry, Turchetta, Wally
              Hudson, Levesque, Wells. 

See y'all Tuesday and don't forget the party at the Legion Tuesday the 30th after the games.

 American Leauge Update 4/12/24


Today, the National League and American League players joined forces for an exciting inter-squad matchup. Team Wally took the first swing, scoring two runs. Team Lou quickly responded with two of their own. The Wallenators then came back strong, scoring two runs in both the second and third innings. However, Lou's team dominated the fourth inning, scoring five runs and securing their lead. Both teams showcased some impressive plays on the field, keeping the game intense. In the end, Lou's team emerged victorious with a final score of 15-9. Looks like Team Lou brought their A-game and left Team Wally in the dust!
