Fwd: Fw: Friday March 21 at Sertoma field 2

22 Senior ballplayers, 2 umpires and 1 who chose to manage a team showed up for a Senior ball game on a very cold and WINDY morning and it was a "doozie" as old sitcom Hazel would say.  There were many hoodies, gloves and ear muffs. Still, some in shorts and Jerry Ryan in shorts and only a WH Senior Softball t-shirt catching winning pitcher Ron Thompson for the entire 9 innings. On to the game. 

Team Hite took a 5-1 lead into the top of the 4th inning when team Dampier scored 4 runs to tie it up. Thanks to many, many fine defensive plays and a lot of ATOM ball it was a low scoring game. Team Dampier held a 9-6 lead after 7 thanks to Pat Sullivan blasting one over the right center fence with Johnston and Jorge on 3rd and 2nd and he scored as well on a single by B.J.  Team Hite scored 1 in the bottom of the 7th and put up the only nickel in the bottom of the 8th for an 11-9 final as Team Hite went 1,2,3 on 3 pitches in the top of the 9th.
