Friday Game Summary

With 37 players today, we divided up into three teams managed by Ron Pepin, Don Ouding, and Juan Toro. Ron's group jumped out to an early lead in the first inning scoring four runs. Don's team was shut out and Juan's team scored three. Here is where it gets interesting: Ron's group only managed six runs the rest of the way. They were shut out in three of those innings.Meanwhile, Don's group struggled to score, managing only two runs after five innings, and remained in third place.  In the sixth and seventh innings, they finally scored on back to back homers by Steve Johnston and Ramon, but still trailed Ron's bunch by three runs. What was noteworthy was the run production—or lack thereof—by Team Toro. Although they scored three runs in the first inning, they were shut out the rest of the game, ending with the same total they had in the first inning. Final score, Team Pepin 10, Team Ouding 7, and Team Toro 3.

Friday Games

Before getting to the games, I want to thank those of you who attended the HOF Banquet and helped make it a memorable evening for the inductees. A special call out to Gary Burtner, Joe Leturneau and the Haines City Limits for providing some great music.This year's class included Robert Spialeri, Bobby Vandenberg, Bob DiPietro, JImmy Laffoon, and Jarrett-Gordon Ford. Please congratulate them the next time you see them.

It seems like this field is quickly getting to be known for producing low scoring games. There were only 13 runs scored in the nine inning game. Each team played six scoreless innings. Team Pepin took the lead in the first and held the lead throughout the game. The final score was Team Pepin 8 and Team Ouding 5.

Don Keller's guys faced off against Fred DeLoach's bunch on the other field. Don's guys scored four in the first but quickly gave up the lead. Fred's group held the lead then through the sixth inning, albeit by a single run.Team Keller maxed out in the seventh to take a scant two run lead. In the eighth, Team Keller again outscored Team Deloach to build a four run lead. Each team managed one run in the ninth, so the final score ws Team Keller 22 and Team DeLoach 17. Before going to  outstanding performance I should point out that Ron Fleming returned from cataract surgery and went five for five. Obviously it was worth it.
