Attention Members,

I wanted to inform everyone that longtime player and Board member Joseph D'Herin is currently at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa recovering after pneumonia and the flu have taken a toll on him.

In addition, Tommy Hamilton recently had a knee replacement, and Christopher Constantine is receiving ongoing treatment every Wednesday.

Please keep Joseph, Tommy, and Christopher in your thoughts and prayers as they recover. Your support and well wishes are greatly appreciated.

Tuesday

Two pretty interesting games today.  One was pretty much decided by the 5th inning, team Ouding was up 14-4 over team Rounds and the final was 22-9.
The other field featured team Toro vs team Keller. Toro led 2-0 after 1 inning and and 2-1 after 2 innings. From there on both teams put up goose eggs and never had more than 2 base runner in an inning helped much by at least 6 inning ending double plays. Final score of 2-1.

We had perfect weather for today's games. Freddie Dampier came up with some original names for the Teams on Field 1. He named Juan Toro's team the bulls and his team the Peirs. So in the first inning, both the Bulls and the Piers scored four runs. The Bulls fell behind as they were shut out in four of the next six innings. While this was occurring, the Piers scored three or more in every inning but the sixth.  So at the end of seven, it was the Piers 21 and the Bulls 10. The Bulls rallied in the eighth and ninth innings, scoring five in each, but it was not enough. Final score Team Dampier 24 and Team Toro 20.

Don Keller managed the visiting team against Team Tutrani on field two. It looked like a blowout early on for the Dons guys. built a 12-6 lead after four innings.Mark's bats came alivein the fifth and sixth innings, closing within two. Both teams exchanged runs, so at the end of eight it was Keller 17 and Tutrani 15. Team Keller needed a big inning as Team Tutrani had the top of the lineup coming to the plate. Well, Team Keller got the big inning, sending all eleven players to the plate and scoring seven runs. The first four batters for Team Tutrani hit and scored. Unfortunately it ended three outs later. Final score Team Keller 24 and Team Tutrani 19.
