Friday Games

I think we had the highest number of players this summer....49 ball players. That allowed us to have two games with fully manned teams. Now to the games themselves. Before delving into each games let me just say that both games came down to the last inning.There were 24 runs scored in the last inning which I am sure is another one for the record books.

Team Spitalari took on Team Tutrani on Field B. Team Spit only scored one run through four innings allowing Team Tutrani to build an eight run lead. Oh how the game changed in the fifth. Team Spitscored eight runs to tie up the game. They scored one in the sixth and sealed the comeback with 9 runs in the ninth. Team Trutrani was scoreless in the last three frames. Final Score Team Spit 19 and Team Trtrani 9.

Team Hill took on Team Lopez on Field C in what was a very exciting game, with the outcome not decided  until the last batter. I say exciting because while Team Hill scored early and took an early lead. They scored in every inning but only had a three run lead going into the last inning.Batting first in the seventh, Team Hill had six runners cross the plate to take a huge 9 run lead and given that Team Lopez had only scored 13 runs in the first six innings the outcome seemed assured.Ut the outcome is decided on the field. Team Lopez scored nine runs to tie up the game.Aided by six walks, their hitters did the rest. So in the end the score was Team Hill 19 and Team Lopez 19.
