3-28-25 Field #2 at Sertoma.

First, a rule change for field #2 for the rest of the time we play at Sertoma  this year.

BOD member Joe D'Herin called an on field meeting of all players, suggesting no force outs could be made at first, second or third base on a ball hit to the outfield grass either by a base hit or error. It was overwhelmingly approved, as there have been many such force out plays happening for 2 reasons. The fences are shorter and more significant, the bases are 5 feet longer. 

The force out can still be made on a runner advancing to home. 

Now, on to Friday's game. 

Managers were Spitilari, Lopez and Hite. 

Team Spitilari led 11-5-4 after 5 innings but didn't score again till the 9th inning, finishing with 13. Team Lopez managed to post 6 goose eggs 🥚 in a row to finish with 5.  Team Hite kept on scoring to finish in a tie with Team Spitilari.  Final 13-5-13.

WOW!!!  Lots of hits, but lots of runners thrown out from the outfield, even one DP. This new rule should rectify that.
