Tuesday Game Recap
We had a very exciting three team game today between the Managers:Fred DeLoach, Steve Hill, and Wally. Steve's team started slowly and never really picked up the pace. They did manage a couple of innings with multiple runs but never got within five runs of the leaders.Wally's team, on the other hand, started strong and held the lead until the fifth inning when Fred's team put together back-to-back five-run innings to tie it up. That lead didn't last long as Fred's team regained the lead in the following inning. In the seventh inning, Steve's team scored twice to get close but not enough to catch up. Wally's team was hoping to expand on their one run lead but instead went five and out. That left Team DeLoach needing one run to tie and two to win. It was over quickly, as the first two runners scored on three hits and a sacrifice fly. Final score Team DeLoach 17, Team Wally 16, and Team Hill 12.

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.
