Friday, June24th
It was a hot and muggy 🔥 day where the temp on the field I'm sure was over 100 degrees and the heat index was 108. A couple of times tempers got nearly that warm as well. But we all survived and proceeded to play the 6 inning game. Managers were Zelazny, Constantine and Spitaleri.
Again, the score sheets were not kept very accurately including the runs. The final on the game scoreboard said 18-18-17 with the Spitaleri team owning the 17 run score. However, when I tally up the runs on all score sheets they all indicate 18 runs. Go figure!!!!
Noting 3 highlights of the game, in the 2nd inning, Richie Marino smacked a ball down the right field line which nearly made it to the fence before Wally could corral it and Marino made it all the way around for the HR. He was so winded he couldn't even utter "take that sucka".
Not to be out done Bob Hudson got one to the fence in the same inning for his HR.
The play of the game was the game ending DP.
At 3rd base. With the tying run on 3rd and bases full with one out a liner was headed for the left field line, but Fred Gonzalez leaped, back handed it and came down directly on 3rd base and the runner was off the base for the game ending double play.
No games Tuesday, so see y'all Friday July 1.
