Friday Game Recap

Before starting the game, Loren asked that any veterans who would like to be presented with a "Quilt of Valor" recognizing their service please contact him. He will then have your personalized quilt made and arrange a presentation for you to receive it. Having received one a couple years ago, I can tell you they are not only beautiful but are a great reminder of your service.

Today was a three team game  that actually started early because everyone called or signed in on time. Thank you.

Team Wally started the game slowly and never really picked up the pace throughout the game, ending up with only six runs in total. Meanwhile, Team Hill (the hare in this story) built a huge lead. Team Ouding only stayed within six runs by scoring five runs in the fifth inning. Going into the last frame, Team Wally needed nine runs to tie but only managed one run. Team Hill had a chance to extend their lead but was shut out. That just left Team Ouding facing the task of overcoming a seven run deficit. From the description of the teams, I guess you can figure out what happened. Don started off with a single and the rally began. And nine batters later, they walked off the field with a well-earned victory. Final

Final score: Team Ouding 15, Team Hill 14, and Team Wally 6.

Tuesday Game Recap

Before we get into today's game. Let me ask again that everyone calls or signs in no later than 08:30. Today we could have had two two-team games if everyone had been on time. Unfortunately, half a dozen players arrived late (one nearly 20 minutes late). well after we had begun drafting teams and way too late to have the second field lined and ready for play. Consequently we had to play with fourteen and fifteen players on a team. It isn't fair to those who arrive on time.

Now that I have given my speech on that, let's get to what proved to be a very exciting game. Steve Hill, Don Ouding, and Dave Rounds volunteered (with a little arm twisting) to manage the teams. Please thank them, as well as Bob Spitaleri, Wally, Fred Deloach, JD, and Sam Lopez, because without all of them, we couldn't get the games underway and played.

The game started with both teams scoring six runs through the third inning. The fourth inning saw Team Hill taking a huge lead by scoring five runs to Round's zero, and Ouding's 2. It was a different story in the fifth inning when Team Ouding managed to pull even with Team Hill.. The sixth saw Team Ouding and Hill shut out while Team Rounds scored  one to make a real game of it.

Team Hill pushed two runs across in the top of the seventh to take a two run lead. Team Rounds managed one run, but that doesn't tell the whole story as the bases were loaded when the last out was made. Team Ouding needed two runs to tie and three to win, with the bottom of their line up coming to bat. Fredy Dampier led off  with a triple to pull them close. Unfortunately for Team Hill, the next four batters got on base and scored when Dolyle hit one over the outstretched arms of the outfielders. Final score was Team Ouding 15, Team Hill 14, and Team Rounds 8.

Friday Recap

Weather was perfect for softball: sunny with a light breeze.We managed to field three teams today led by Don Ouding, JD Davis, and Wally.  Scoring was low compared to previous games, which made for an exciting and close game. Don's team started the game out with three quick runs but didn't win the inning as Team Wally scored five runs. Team JD found themselves wedged between the other two and remained that way throughout the game. Team Wally built a seven run lead through five innings, and it looked like the game was over at that point. Don's team had other ideas and tied the score after scoring seven runs. The eighth run, Ernesto's homer, didn't count because they had reached the maximum number of runs allowed for the catch-up.  So, going into the seventh inning Teams Ouding and Wally were tied at 14 and Team JD  had 10. Team Ouding went three and out in the ninth inning and thus had to hope that JD's defense could hold off Team Wally allowing a tie. Team JD before hitting the field to play defense suffered a three and out inning. Needing only one run to win, Team Wally scured it early as their first abtter scored to seal the vistory. Final score: Team Wally 15, Team Ouding 14, and Team JD 10..

Tuesday Recap

Today was our first day at our new temporary home. Hopefully, no one had difficulty finding it. I will say that the field crew did an excellent job in prepping the fields. I felt like we were in the big leagues.

We managed to field three teams. Today's managers were Don Ouding, Dave Rounds, and Fred Deloach. Thanks guys.

The game saw a number of fluctuations.In scoring, each team scored four or more runs in multiple innings to keep it close. Team Deloach trailed until the fourth inning but then, never looked back. The real battle was for the silver medal, Team Ouding and Team Rounds ended up in a tie for second. The differfence in the game was the number of long balls hit by Team Deloach.Today's superstar was Herbie, who went three for three with three triples. That's right... three triples. Final score: Team DeLoach 18, Team Ouding 13, and Team Rounds 13.
