Tuesday Games

Today's game started late again as players continue to sign in well after the 08:30 deadline. Please be on time or call ahead if you want to be sure and play that day. The Board begins making teams at that time. They need the time to insure fair teams.

TUTRANI SCORES BIG WIN ON HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

I do not know if Loren and Joe stacked the deck in his favor or if it was the promise of beer and chips following the game, but while the game ended in a close decision, the outcome was never in doubt.

Mark's team scored multiple runs in five of the six innings they batted. While putting up 15 runs in six innings, it could have been worse as they stranded 13 runners over the course of the day. Not only were they solid on offense, they played a great game defensively against Bob Spitilari's team.

Team Spit managed a solid second place but were nearly shut out until the fourth inning. Team Spit posted multiple runs in the last four innings to close the gap two two runs.. Bob Hudson's bat made the difference in the run. The final run was cut short as Bob Vandenberg caught a line drive from Lonnie that I swear broke the sound barrier, It was hit so hard.. Bob's team held on to second place with some great defense of their own. They held Team Rounds to just six runs..

Dave's Team could not seem to get untracked all day. They only managed to score in 2 of the seven innings.Out of the 17 hits collected, only two, one by Gary Anderson and one by Pablo, went for extra bases.With the exception of the first inning, no more than five batters came to the plate in any one inning..I know the frustration, because I have been there many times

Final Score Team Trutrani15, Team Spitilari 13, and Team Rounds 6.

S Hill 4-4
Dampier 2-2
Bob Hudson 4-4 with homer

Greetings, fans! I am here to provide you with an exciting update on the American League action that took place on April 25th, 2025. Members from the National and the American combined forces. The teams competing were Team Lou and Home Team Tom, and they put on a spectacular show on field “A”. The game was filled with thrilling plays and remarkable performances, as well as many errors, that had fans on the edge of their seats.

One of the most memorable moments of the game was when Lonnie and Frank from Team Tom made incredible outfield catches, demonstrating their exceptional athleticism and skill. The competition between the two teams was fierce, with both sides giving their all in pursuit of victory. The determination and talent displayed by these athletes made for an exhilarating match that kept fans glued to their seats.

The first four innings were dominated by Team Rounds as they managed to score three or more runs in each inning.bringing their total run count fourteen. During the same four innings Team Zelazny managed but four runs. Then, as if by magic, the tables turned and Team Zelazny started to put up some impressive numbers. and actually won each of the next four innings. Going into the last inning Team Zelazny found themselves down by two. After the first two batters scored, Ron Thompson got his second wind and struck out the last two batters. Then, with the score tied, Mike OCallahan drove in the winning run for Team Rounds. Final score Team Rounds 22, Team Zelazny 21..

Tuesday's Games

Before I recap todays games, I need to announce that effective Friday, games will start at 09:00. That means that you must sign in or call by 08:30.

Field A
In the first inning, both teams scored five runs and it looked like it was going to be a slugfest from the outset. Unfortunately that did not turn out to be the case as the fielding team's bats went cold. They did not manage to score again until the fifth inning and that was for only one run. They only managed one multiple run inning for the entire game. and that was in the seventh.
The hitting team lived up to the name as they seemed to score at will, scoring multiple runs in every inning except for the second. Obviously they built up a substantial lead going into the eighth inning.. They had built such a significant lead that the flip flop run was put into play.
The fielding team  team had to score 12 runs to tie after the flip flop.. Unfortunately they went three and out in both of the last innings. The final score was hitting team 24 and fielding team 12.
Outstanding performances
Jeff R 6-7
John T 5-5
Rusty 4-5
Jeff 4-5
Jerry Ryan 5-5 and winning pitcher
Raymundo 4-5

Field B
Team Zelazny faced off against Team Lopez.. The game started slow with only one run scored in the first inning..Both teams rebounded in the second with Team Z scoring five, and Team Lopez scoring six, tying the score. That was as close as it got, as Team Zelazny scored five runs in six of the eight innings while Team Lopez only managed multiple runs in two innings going into the eighth inning when they crossed the plate three times. Unfortunately they still found themselves chasing 13 runs. Consequently, our game also instituted the flip flop rule. Team Lopez was not to be denied and they batted around and managed to score six runs. Unfortunately it was not enough to overcome the lead Team Zelazny had built..THe final score was Team Zelazny 34 and Team Lopez 25. 

Outstanding performances
Bob Spitalari6-6 with 7 RBIs and a grand slam
Jorge 6-6
Ramon 6-6
JR 5-6
John Boito 5-5

Friday Games


Two games today. A mixed American League game on field B and a National League 3 team game on field A. The Managers were Wally, Spitilari and Zelazny. After 1 inning it was Wally 4, Spitilari 3 and Zelazny 2. In the 2nd inning no team scored and the only other goose egg recorded was in the top of the open inning by team  Wally. The fact there was much scoring and players going on and off the field was very slow may be why we didn't get out of the Diamonplex until after 12:30. We only have those fields until noon on days we play and I was reminded of that by a city employee. After 4 innings it was 11, 11, 8 with Team Zelazny having the 8. Final was team Spitilari 22, team Wally 17 and team Zelazny 13. 
The hitters. 
5 hits.      Jorge, B.J. Spitilari
4 hits.      Testa, Lopez, DeLoach, 
                 Gonzalez, Dampier, Tchetta
                 Ouding
3 hits.      Hudson, Vandenberg, Wally
                 Reagan, Rounds, Zelazny
                 LeTourneau, Gil
See y'all Tuesday and let's hustle a little and not get the umpire reprimanded.
