Winter Haven Senior Softball

Team V v Team H

With the wind blowing out, Team Vandenberg took on Team Hite with each team playing 10 without a midfielder.  Team V jumped out early with 5 runs in the 1^st.  Team H answered with 4.  At that point Pete Gutenberg arrived.  Team H lost their manager(and I must say inspirational leader) who would play defense for both teams.  George Knox wasn't there, he and his wife headed back north so she could get some much needed medical care.   Good Luck to them both.  In our hearts George went 6 for 6 with 3 doubles.

After 4 innings in a very tight 9-8 game, with Team H leading.  Team V could manage only 8 runs the rest of the way while Team H put up 13 runs.  Final score Team H 22 Team V 15.  Well played by both teams with lots of smiles and laughs.  It was great to see Don Witmer walking around the fields.

Team S v Team Z

People will be convinced I misplaced today's score sheets on purpose after reading the final score but swear that is not the case. Team Z scored 5 runs in the first innings to take an early lead. Over the next 8 innings they stretched their to ten runs.

While Team Z knew the outcome was never in doubt, Team S never gave up. Bob's Team put up 13 runs in the 9th to take the lead to the amazement of everyone. Team Z were confident with the top of the lineup coming up. While they did score, the inning ended with the winning run on base. Final score Team S 19 and Team Z 17.
