Friday Game Field B

Two pretty evenly matched teams faced off of Field B. Things looked pretty bleak for Team Z as they fell behind early Team Tutrani  outscored them in each of the first three innings.There was a shift in momentum in the fourth when Team Z closed within one run, as the top of the line up hit for two doubles a triple and a home run in the inning. The top of the lineup got up again in the fifth inning, when with two outs they hit two more home runs and a double, scoring five runs to take a three run lead. Team T managed just one rune over the last three innings despite hitting the ball hard. The final score was Team Z 13 and Team T 10. 
Outstanding performances
Rad             3- 4 with a home run and a triple
Mark T        3- 4

Tuesdays Games

An interesting game on Field B to say the least. I don't  know if it was because of the heat or the fact we were 16 minutes late starting, but the game started slow and never really picked up until the final innings.The score was just 2 to 1 after two innings. Freddy G's team picked up the pace a little over the next two innings by scoring 5 runs in each frame. Meanwhile, Dave B's team were stuck in low gear, scoring one run in each of their two innings.At the end of four innings Team Freddy held an eight run lead (12-4).
My how things changed in the next two innings. Team Freddy could only manage one run over the next two innings, while Team Dave put up eleven and took a three run lead. Going into the last inning Dave"team was up 15 to 11.
The last inning was one for the boks. Team Freddy managed to bat around, sending 3 batters up twice. This resulted in 10 runs crossing the plate. Down by seven, Dave's bats went cold. Three and out. Winning Team Freddy G 22 and Team Dave 15.
Outstanding players
Mike S   4-4
Gil.         4-4
Dave       4-4
Manny     3-4
Jeff          3-4

May 23 Field B


Managers today were Mark Tutrani, Dave Rounds and newcomer to managing, Gary Anderson who won his managerial debut by the score of team Gary 19, team Mark 14 and team Dave 9.  I will point out first that Ray Howard, playing with Team Mark made 2 fantastic leaping catches of line drives playing middle infielder.   
The game was very close through 4 innings with a score of 8-10-6. Then Team Gary scored 5 and 4 runs in their last 2 at bats for the final score. 👏 Anderson, when speaking to the press, did not indicate if he would choose to manage again.

May 13th Field B Mixed game


A 3 team game today with managers Steve Hill, Tom Kniery and Ron Thompson. The parity of the three teams on paper sure did look very even. But when the game started, senior softball took over and proved that to be false. Why??  Because team Ron scored 5 runs in 5 of the 6 innings they batted as it was a flip flop game and did not hit in the open inning. Final score was Team Thompson 27, Team Hill 14 and Team Kniery 10. 

Team Thompson hitters
    Vandenberg.  4-5
    Tutrani.             3-4
    Nestor.              3-3
    Hudson.           3-4

    Hill.                 2-3

Friday May 9th mixed game.


What a contrast from Tuesday when 4 teams scored 110 runs and today when 3 teams scored 31 runs. There was also an abundance of walks and illegal pitches thrown. Also, many hits were infield bloopers and dribbles and we all know they look like line drives in the book. 
Managers were Dampier, Wally and Spitilari. Team Wally held a 4-3-2 lead after 1 inning and after 2 it was 4-3-4. Then Team Wally and Dampier withered out while Team Spitilari scored at will, finishing a flip flop game with 19 of the 31 runs. Team Wally put up all goose eggs after the 1st inning and Team Dampier maged 4 more for the final of 19-8-4. 
Team Wally hitters
    Gutenberger. 2-3
     Ramon.           2-2

Exciting American League Travel Team Update!

On May 1st, 2025, the American League travel team headed to Solivita for an action-packed 2-game showdown. The sun was shining in Central Florida, creating the perfect backdrop for some thrilling softball.

In game one, our team came out swinging with a five-run first inning and stellar defense that kept Solivita scoreless for four of the first five innings. Thanks to the incredible hitting of Don Fee, Manny Rios, and Mike Vaccaro, we smacked 6 home runs. Despite Solivita's late-game rally, we emerged victorious with a final score of WHSS 21, Solivita 15.

Game two was a nail-biter from start to finish. We held the lead until the fifth inning when Solivita took the edge with a score of 13-12. As we entered the top of the seventh, Solivita was ahead 19-15. With one final chance to turn the game around, we fought hard and managed to score 3 runs. However, it wasn't enough, and we fell short with a final score of 19-18. Despite the loss, everyone had a blast, and we can't wait to face off against Solivita again next month for another thrilling matchup.

Notable highlights from the games include Don Fee's impressive 4 home runs, Manny Rios' 2 home runs, Mike Vaccaro's 2 home runs, and Dana Ferrande's perfect 8/8 at-bat performance.

Stay tuned for more updates as our American League travel team continues to bring the excitement on the field!
