Friday Games

Before getting to today's game, there are a couple of administrative things to cover.

FIRST...NO GAMES TUESDAY.

Second, I need to address an omission from Tuesday's write up. I failed to recognize Donna's home run in the game. Congratulations Donna.

Fred DeLoach and his team took on Don Ouding's team on Field B. Both teams scored two runs in the first inning, The next five innings saw Team Ouding build an eleven-run lead. It was a different story in the seventh inning, as Team Deloach scored nine runs to significantly close the gap. They scored another five runs in the eighth inning to take the lead by one. They were unable to score in the open inning, so they went into the bottom of the ninth with a slim lead. Their luck did not hold, as the first batter for Team Outing  reached first base and Pablo burned the outfielders for the second time and ended the game with his walk off home run. Final score Team Ouding 22 and Team DeLoach 21.

It was a different kind of game on Field C. Wally's team faced off against JD's team and the game was very close the entire way and wasn't decided until the very last batter. It was nip and tuck all the way as there were 12 lead changes in the game. At he end of eight innings Team ally found themselves down by two runs. Wally led offf and started  what turned out to be a four run rally, That gave them a slim two run lead. JD needed two to tie and three to win, but only managed to put one run across. Final score Team Wally 23 and Team JD 22.

Tuesday's Games Recap

Two of our better managers faced off on Field B. Fred Deloach led the visiting team while Dave Rounds led the home team. Fred's team got off to a slow start failing to score in the first four innings. Meanwhile, Dave's guys put up eleven runs. I have to say that it looked pretty bleak for Fred and his boys I don't know what Fred used for motivation, but the bats came alive, as did the defense. And they outscored Dave's group  twenty to six in the last four innings. The final score was Team DeLoach 20 and Team Rounds 16. 

Outstanding performances

Rusty 4-5

Rounds 5-5

Garcia 5-5

Team Wally faced Team Hill on Field C. With these two managers you would expect it to be an exciting game, and it didn't disappoint. Both teams scored three runs in the first inning, and the score remained tied after four innings. Team Hill then proceeded to build a four run lead going into the eighth inning. Not to counted out, Wally's team scored four runs in the eighth inning and shut down Steve's batters resulting in a tie game after eight innings. In the ninth inning Wally's first four batters scored and with two out and the bases loaded Donna (playing outfield) caught the long fly for the third out. Needing four runs to tie and five to win, Ron Thompson lead off and started a game winning rally as the first five batters scored. Final score Team Hill 25 and Team Wally 24.

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.

Outstanding performances

Pepin 3-3

Ayers 3-3

Turchetta 3-3

Dampier 3-3

Carlos Lopez 3-3

Vandenberg 3-3

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.
