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.

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.
