Tuesday Recap

There seemed to be some confusion about sign in and game times this morning, with some reporting early and others reporting in late. Remember, you must sign or call in before 09:00 and games will start at 09:30.

Augmented by a number of American  league players we managed to field four fully manned teams. Sam Lopez faced off against Dave Rounds in a very competitive game. According to the score sheets it ended in a 16 to 16 tie. Sammy's team started strong with 5 runs in the first and 4 in the second. Daves team matched them with 2 and 7. Over the next four innings the teams remained within two runs of each other and even changed leads a couple times. Going into the final frame, Team Rounds had a two run lead. Team Lopez pushed three runs across to take a one run lead going into the bottom of the seventh.  Willie Morton led off the inning for Team Rounsds and scored to tie the game. Here is where it gets strange. It looks like when he scored, the game was called when they thought they had secured the victory. Unfortunately, Team Lopez only reported two runs in the seventh, while the score sheet clearly shows three.. End result was a tie game 16-16.

Team Hill put up five runs in the first two innings and followed them up with multiple runs in the next two innings. In the same stretch, Wally managed a scant six runs. Both teams were shut out in the following two innings, so at the end of six, Team Hill maintained an eleven run lead Team Hill extended their lead by pushing across five runs in each of the following two innings Team Wally only managed 3 runs in those frames.With the score 27 to 9 at the end of the eighth, we implemented the flip flop seeing as the difference was more than ten runs.
