Both games today were exciting if you looked at the box scores. I first want to thank the 44 players that came out to play today. I also want to remind everyone of two issues. First is that games start at 0900 so you need to sign in by 08:30. Second, please watch the web site for a possible change in location for Friday's games. We are waiting for word from the DiamomdPlex ion whether the lighting project will be completed and we can return there.

Team Toro and Team DeLoach squared off on field one in another game that was close right down to the end with either team having a chance for the win. Team Toro scored in six of the innings but never more than two until the eighth when they scored six runs to pull within one. Team DeLoach scored in six of the innings but the difference was that they scored three or more runs in four of the innings. Gooing into the ninth Juan and his band of merry men needed four runs to tie up the game.Unfortunately is was a hill toi high to climb. They scored two quick runs but left the tieing runs on base. Final score Team DeLoach 15 and Team Toro 13.
