Friday 7 November

Wally and Steve managed the teams on field C. The game started out pretty well with both teams scoring multiple runs in the first. Team Hill actually won the inning by a single run. However, that slim lead grew as each of the next seven innings played out. At the end of seven innings Team Hill commanded a ten run lead. Team Wally tried to make a game of it by scoring six runs in the eighth. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't match that in the ninth and  went three and out. Final score Team Hill 21 andTeam Wally 16.

Sammy Lopez and his team took on Mark Tutrani's team on field B. With the score tied after the first inning, it stayed relatively close with only a couple runs separating the two teams and Team Tutrani ahead by five. Team Lopez scored three in the seventh to narrow the gap to just two runs. This was when things got interesting. There were four lead changes in the last three innings and it came down to Team Tutrani needing four runs to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. The first two batters scored and  things were looking up. Two of the next three hitters reached base but were unable to score, giving Team Lopez a well earned 21 to 19 victory over team Tutrani.
