Friday Games Recap

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.

Friday's Game.

A couple administrative announcements before covering the game

First is the upcoming HOF Dinner/Dance where we will induct three of our own into the HOF: Bob Vandenberg, Robert Spitaleri, and Jimmy Laffoon. Tickets are only $20 per person and are on sale now. Please buy a couple tickets and help us recognize these outstanding individuals.

Second is the reminder that players need to sign or call before 08:30 if they plan on playing. Today we had enough players to have two full team games, however three player elected to come in after the teams had been made (the latest actually came 10 minutes after our strat time), resulting in playing with 13 and 14 players on each team. Please be considerate and be on time.

Apologize for the lack of specifics regarding today's game but unfortunately, the score sheets were locked up and unavailable. Consequently, no outstanding performances.The game started out with goose eggs for each team in the first inning.Team Keller held the lead after five innings, but Team Rounds scored five in the sixth  to tie them. Team Tutrani trailed by two at that time..The seventh saw Team Rounds go out to a commanding four run lead over both the other teams. Only Team Keller scored in the eighth so the score was Team Rounds 11, Team Keller 8, and Team Tutrani 7. Don's guys hit well in the ninth and scored four runs to take a one run lead. Team Rounds had their big hitters up but were unable to score leaving them at 11. Team Tutrani needed five to tie and six to win it all.  Well to bring this to a close, let me say they managed five before the last ourt weas made. Final score Team Keller 12, Team Tutrani 12, and Taem Rounds 11..

Tuesday, February 17, 2026. We had a turnout of 15 players this week. With just five more participants, we could have organized a full game. Currently, we focus on batting practice due to the limited number of players. Unfortunately, we lack a reliable method to predict attendance. The distribution of shorts confirmed the number of attendees. We have access to the field and encourage everyone to join us for practice sessions. For those using WhatsApp, I can add you to our distribution list to keep you informed. Please install WhatsApp on your phone and contact me to be included in the list.
