Friday Game Recap

Let's start with the seven inning game played on Field B. JD"s team took on Dave Round's team in what should have been a closer match. Team JD started slow and only managed multiple runs in three innings. Meanwhile, Team Rounds scored in every inning and lost only one of the seven innings. They scored the maximum number of runs in three of the innings. The final score was Team Rounds 18 and Team JD 8.

The game on Field C between Steve Hill and and Bob Spitaleri can be summed up by two words.....Jimmie Williamson. Jimmie went four for four, hitting two homers and two doubles. In total he accounted for 12 of Bob's team's 19 runs. Steve's team didn't reach that total until half way through the eighth inning. Steve's batters were getting good wood on the ball, but Lonnie's great defense snuffed out two promising rallies.  Team Spit was still ahead, having only gotten within one run when the game ended. The final score was Team Spitaleri 19 and Team Hill 18.

Tuesday Games

What a beautiful day to play softball. Augmented by American league players, we managed to field four teams 

On field A, JD Davis and his team took on Sam Lopez and his gang. JD's team took a five run lead in the first inning and never relinquished it, although Sammy's guys did manage to tie the score briefly in the third.The game remained close with no more than one run separating the teams in any one inning going into the last inning. JD's visiting team scored five runs in the open inning as they brought ten batters to the plate. Unfortunately Sammy's guys went three and out to end the game. Final score JD 20 and Sammy 14.

Team Wally squared off against Team Ouding on field B.Don's boys took an early 5-3 lead over Team Wally in the first inning. That was about it for Team Ouding as they only managed one run through six innings. They scored six runs in the seventh and eighth innings. That said, it was not enough, so we called for the flip flop rule to be used. Unfortunately for Don's guys, they went three and out. Final score: Team Wally 20, Team Ouding 12.

**Important League Announcement**

Attention Members,

Please note that Diamond Plex will be undergoing renovations beginning approximately May 18 through the end of July. During this time, the complex will be closed for play.

To ensure continuity, we will relocate our games to the Auburndale Sports Complex (36 Florida Citrus Blvd, Jan Phyl Village, FL 33881), starting Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Many of you may already be familiar with this facility. This transition will require transporting some of our equipment, and I will be working closely with board members to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Please also note the updated schedule:

• Check-in time will now be 8:30 a.m.
• The complex will open at 8:00 a.m., so plan to arrive on time.

Additionally, our field will be closed on May 15 due to a tournament; however, we will still play on Friday, May 15, which will be our final day at Diamond Plex before renovations begin.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this transition.

Sincerely,
Lou Guzman
Acting Commissioner

Friday Game

We had a great three team game with 14 players per team. Again, big shout out to Don Ouding, Sam Lopez, and Wally for managing this morning. Don was the hitting team and jumped out to an early lead by scoring five quick runs. Unfortunately they were one and done, managing only two more runs the rest of the way. Wally's sitting team didn't score until the third inning but then scored eight in the 4th and five in the 5th to take the lead. Sam's guys put up 11 runs in the first three innings but couldn't score again until the 9th. Trailing by six, they managed to score three runs making it close at the end. Fiinal score Team Wally 17, Team Lopez 14, and Team Ouding 7.
