Fwd: Fw: July 8th. Field B mixed game


Subject: July 8th. Field B mixed game
This might very well have been the most amazing "walk off triple play" ending to any softball or baseball game in the history of the game. But first, on to the game with veteran manager Sam Lopez and first time manager Ron Fleming. Team Fleming jumped out to a 4-1 lead after the first inning but didn't score again until the 5th inning when they trailed 8-7. Team Lopez kept chipping away scoring 2 runs at a time. Going to the open inning, home Team Lopez led 9-8.  With Donna still pitching and Lopez doing the catching duties, they just needed 3 outs for the victory. BUT as in Senior Softball something changed as Donna couldn't find the plate and walked the last 2 batters in the order as well as the leadoff hitter to load the bases with no outs. After a conference on the mound, Sam and Donna changed places and play resumed. Sam's first pitch was a ball to the 2nd hitter in the lineup. His next pitch was hit sharply to 3rd base on one hop, who stepped on 3rd for out #1, threw home to Donna for out #2.  The batter, dismayed with his performance, threw his bat and walked off the field for out #3. 
So, WP was Donna and Sam picked up the save. WOW!!!!
