Tuesday 2 December Game

After sending  a number of players over to play with the American league, we had enough to field three thirteen man teams on Field B. Today's managers were Steve Hill, Dave Rounds, and Mark Tutrani. The conspiracy theorists were out in force after the first two innings, as Stevs Team opened up a big lead by scoring five runs in each of the first two innings. One inning later it was like a Joy Reid Podcast, with the conspiracy theory totally falling apart as Team Tutrani but up some impressive numbers in the last six innings putting up 5-3-5-5-4-4 to build an insurmountable lead.

The real game came down to a very evenly matched teams.Team Hill maintained a comfortable lead over Team Rounds until the fifth inning, when Dave's guys put up four runs to tie the game. With Team Tutrani up by nine over his two rivals, they extended their lead further by scoring four in the top of the seventh. Both Team Hill and Team rounds found themselves chasing 13 runs. Four of the first five batters for Team Hill scored before three fly balls sent them to the field. Bottom line for Team Rounds was that they needed six to take home the silver and 14 to claim the gold. Alsa it was not meant to be. They did manage two runs before the game ended on a hard hit double play. Final score Team Tutrani 26, Team Hill 18, and Team Round 15.
