Before I get to today's game let me address the complaints about having 14 players per team and not playing on two fields.We ask everyone to sign in or call before 08:30 for a reason. We start making teams up at 08:30 based on those players that have signed in. We start at that time to have sufficient time for the managers to make up the line ups and be ready to play by 09:00. This morning, after the teams had been finalized we had three players come in and sign in to play, the last at 08:45.That is too late to redo the teams so they are add ons to the roster. Sometimes this results in bloated lineups, or franchise players being inserted into evenly balanced teams. To help us, we ask that you please sign or call in before the 08:30 deadline.
Today's game turned out to be very competitive. with only six runs separating the three teams.Want to thank Steve Hill, Mark Trutrani, and Dave Rounds for stepping up and managing today's teams.
Team Hill started out, as they normally do by knocking the cover off the ball. They quickly scored five runs to take the lead. Their bats were silent until the 6th inning when they put up five more runs, bringing their total to 11 and getting back in the game
Team Trutrani started slow but scored multiple runs in the third and fourth innings to take the lead. Unfortunately they only managed one more run in the next two innings, putting them at the bottom with one to go
Team Rounds started slow but built momentum throughout the game and took the lead in the fourth inning and extended it into the seventh. They scored a total of fourteen runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth nnings..
It was anyone's game going into the seventh inning. Team Hill was not able to mount a charge as they went four and out. Team Trutrani didn't fare much better as they too were unable to score. Team Rounds did not have to bat in the seventh as neither of the other teams could match their score. Final Team Rounds 15, Team Hill 11, and Team Trutrani 9.
