Friday Game Recap

Let's start with the seven inning game played on Field B. JD"s team took on Dave Round's team in what should have been a closer match. Team JD started slow and only managed multiple runs in three innings. Meanwhile, Team Rounds scored in every inning and lost only one of the seven innings. They scored the maximum number of runs in three of the innings. The final score was Team Rounds 18 and Team JD 8.

Outstanding performances

Pepin 3-3

Ayers 3-3

Turchetta 3-3

Dampier 3-3

Carlos Lopez 3-3

Vandenberg 3-3

The game on Field C between Steve Hill and and Bob Spitaleri can be summed up by two words.....Jimmie Williamson. Jimmie went four for four, hitting two homers and two doubles. In total he accounted for 12 of Bob's team's 19 runs. Steve's team didn't reach that total until half way through the eighth inning. Steve's batters were getting good wood on the ball, but Lonnie's great defense snuffed out two promising rallies.  Team Spit was still ahead, having only gotten within one run when the game ended. The final score was Team Spitaleri 19 and Team Hill 18.

Tuesday Games

What a beautiful day to play softball. Augmented by American league players, we managed to field four teams 

On field A, JD Davis and his team took on Sam Lopez and his gang. JD's team took a five run lead in the first inning and never relinquished it, although Sammy's guys did manage to tie the score briefly in the third.The game remained close with no more than one run separating the teams in any one inning going into the last inning. JD's visiting team scored five runs in the open inning as they brought ten batters to the plate. Unfortunately Sammy's guys went three and out to end the game. Final score JD 20 and Sammy 14.

Team Wally squared off against Team Ouding on field B.Don's boys took an early 5-3 lead over Team Wally in the first inning. That was about it for Team Ouding as they only managed one run through six innings. They scored six runs in the seventh and eighth innings. That said, it was not enough, so we called for the flip flop rule to be used. Unfortunately for Don's guys, they went three and out. Final score: Team Wally 20, Team Ouding 12.

**Important League Announcement**

Attention Members,

Please note that Diamond Plex will be undergoing renovations beginning approximately May 18 through the end of July. During this time, the complex will be closed for play.

To ensure continuity, we will relocate our games to the Auburndale Sports Complex (36 Florida Citrus Blvd, Jan Phyl Village, FL 33881), starting Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Many of you may already be familiar with this facility. This transition will require transporting some of our equipment, and I will be working closely with board members to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Please also note the updated schedule:

• Check-in time will now be 8:30 a.m.
• The complex will open at 8:00 a.m., so plan to arrive on time.

Additionally, our field will be closed on May 15 due to a tournament; however, we will still play on Friday, May 15, which will be our final day at Diamond Plex before renovations begin.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this transition.

Sincerely,
Lou Guzman
Acting Commissioner

Friday Game

We had a great three team game with 14 players per team. Again, big shout out to Don Ouding, Sam Lopez, and Wally for managing this morning. Don was the hitting team and jumped out to an early lead by scoring five quick runs. Unfortunately they were one and done, managing only two more runs the rest of the way. Wally's sitting team didn't score until the third inning but then scored eight in the 4th and five in the 5th to take the lead. Sam's guys put up 11 runs in the first three innings but couldn't score again until the 9th. Trailing by six, they managed to score three runs making it close at the end. Fiinal score Team Wally 17, Team Lopez 14, and Team Ouding 7.

Travel Team Update.

Thursday, April 23, 2026

It was another beautiful day for softball at Solivita, and the American League Travel Team made the most of it.

Game One:

The bats were alive early as the team came out swinging, launching an impressive seven home runs. Along with the power at the plate, the defense held strong and made key plays throughout the game. It was a complete team effort, and the squad cruised to a solid 22–16 victory.

Game Two:

However, game two was a different story. The offense seemed to run out of gas, managing just two home runs and a total of thirteen runs. Meanwhile, the Solivita team’s bats came alive, putting together a strong offensive showing and scoring twenty-six runs. The final score was 26–13, giving Solivita a well-earned win.

We look forward to next-week as we will return for another battle.

American League – Tuesday, April 21, 2026

Another beautiful day for softball as members of the American League were able to cobble together teams, with help from a few National League players. The teams met on Field “C” ready for battle.

Team JD took the field while Team Lou stepped up to bat. Both teams came out strong, each putting up two runs in the first inning. From there, it turned into a nail-biter, with neither side giving an inch.

Heading into the top of the seventh inning, the score was tied 14–14. That’s when Team Lou made their move, rallying for four runs to take an 18–14 lead.

Team JD had one last chance to walk it off, but Lou’s squad held firm on defense and shut the door.

Final Score: Team Lou 18, Team JD 14

Notable hits: 

Lou Guzman 5-5 with a walk

Mike Vaccaro 5-6 with a HR

Frank DeLuca 5-6 with a in-the-park HR

Doyle Hale 5-6 with a HR

Les Jacobson 4-6

Tuesday's Game

Before getting into the game, let me just say it was great to see Loren back at the park. He assures me he will be behind the plate for the next game. l also want to thank today's managers: Steve Hill, Ron Pepin, and Don Ouding.

The wind definitely played a huge role in today's game.I do not think any ball went beyond the orange line on a fly. I cannot remember a game this close through six innings. At no point was the separation between the first and last place teams more than three runs. Through five, only two separated the teams. Ron's guys took a one-run lead in the second inning and held it through the fourth when Steve Hill's guys over took them. As I stated, only three runs separated the teams going into the ninth. The bats came alive for Steve in the ninth inning, as they brought 13 batters to the plate and scored eight runs. Don's guys managed to score one, falling well short of Steve's total. That left Ron's team needing 11 runs to win, but they only needed three to take home the silver medal. Unfortunately they went three and out. The final score was Team Hill 17, Team Ouding 8, and Team Pepin 6.

American League Update – April 17, 2026

Today, the American League took the field on Field “C.” With the help of a few National League players, we were able to put together a great matchup between Team JD and Team Jeff.

Both teams came out swinging, each putting up five runs in the first inning. In the second, JD’s crew added another five while holding Jeff’s team scoreless, taking early control of the game. At that point, JD looked well on his way to a comfortable victory.

But Jeff’s team had other plans.

They battled back throughout the game and eventually took the lead in the seventh inning, going up 17–15. Heading into the bottom of the seventh, JD’s squad needed something special.

That’s exactly what they got.

Rad Pcholinski led off with an inside-the-park home run to spark the rally. Don Fee followed by getting on base, setting the stage for Jeff Stier—who delivered in dramatic fashion with a walk-off inside-the-park home run to seal the win. Final score 17-18.

Notable Hit: Lonnie Netzel also had an inside-the-park home run.

Friday Games

National League had three teams today. With only eleven players per team, you can imagine many runs being scored, and you would be correct. I am trying to remember the exact scoring because the numbers changed between every inning and one team failed to keep the score sheet in the last inning. Additionally, we lost an inning somewhere along the way as we were playing in the fifth and after discussion behind the plate we were somehow playing in the seventh. I can tell you Team Wally scored 33 runs followed by Team Toro with what I believe was 19. Team Dampier brought up the rear with what I believe was 9 runs. Confusing  I know, but no more so than for those of us playing.

More important than the outcome was the fact that Loren came out to assure us of his successful surgery.In all the time he has umpired, he has never lost an inning. Get well soon.

American League Update – Tuesday, April 14, 2026

It was a beautiful day for softball as members of the National League joined forces with the American League on Field “A.” The matchup between Team JD and Team Dana got off to a wild start, with both teams scoring 5 runs each early on.

After the opening inning, Team Dana began to pull ahead, building a solid lead. By the 4th inning, Dana’s team was leading 17-12. Team JD fought valiantly, keeping the game competitive, but in the end, Team Dana held on to win 17-15.

A great battle and a perfect day for softball!

Tuesday Game Summary

Today was one for the record books. After providing ten players to the American League, we still managed to play a three team game on Field B. Today's managers were Don Ouding, Wally, and Steve Hill. With Loren recovering from back surgery, the man behind the plate became the men behind the plate, as we relied on the sitting team to provide someone to call balls and strikes. I think everyone would agree that we missed Loren..

So what about the records shattered today? First is total runs scored in a five-inning game..67.Second was the time it took to complete five innings of play: 2 hours and 17 minutes. I am sure you noticed that we completed two less innings than we would normally play. That is because the consensus was that we had played long enough, scored enough runs, and had too many people that had appointments.

At the end of the first inning the scores were 4,5,5. After two inning the scores were 9,8,10 It remained close after three innings 14,10,15. Each team scored two runs in the fourth inning (the lowest score for any inning). It was at this point that the managers elected to shorten the game. Don's team scored five runs in the fifth inning to retake the lead. That lead was short-lived as Steve's team scored 12 runs and ended up going from last to first. Wally tried to motivate his team as they chased nine runs. The first two batters got on base and scored and it looked like if they couldn't over take Steve, they could catch Don. Unfortunately for them they then went three and out. Final score: Team Hill 26, Team Ouding 21, and Team Wally 19.

American League Updat

 

Friday, 4/3/26

Players from the National League teamed up with the American League on field “A”. Team JD vs Team Mike. It was a back-and-forth game all the way to the last inning when Team Mike took a five-run lead, and  JD team could not close the deal.

Friday 4/10/26

Back again on field “A” with members from the National League. Team JD started slow with just two runs. Team Lou started with four runs. This was the only lead of the game as the JD crew just kept scoring. After a flip-flop, Team Lou could only muster up eight runs. Final score was JD 31 and Lou 24.

Special note: Jeff Rebideau scored a home run in the park.

Friday Game Summary

We managed to have a game in both leagues today thanks to some of the National League superstars moving over to complement the American League roster.. We don't have a write-up from that game but here is the write up of a very interesting three team game on Field B. Before we get into the game I want to acknowledge the three three managers..Mark Tutrani, Dave Rounds, and Wally as well as Loren who calls balls and strikes every game. The games don't work without their volunteering.

Wally managed and pitched  for the hitting team. and had them fired up. They scored five runs in each of the first two innings giving them a lead that was not threatened until the last inning. They also played very good defense, holding Dave's team to only eight runs through the eighth inning.

Dave's team trailed after six innings but saved their best for the final inning, scoring five runs. What was really impressive for Dave's team was the defense and pitching. Behind Bobby Ayers' pitching and a very solid defense, they managed to hold Mark's team scoreless through the first six innings. This was no easy feat as Mark's team was very strong.

Despite not scoring until the seventh inning, Mark's team never gave up and battled the entire game.  They finally got the bats working in the seventh inning, as eight batters came to the plate before the  last out. Along the way, they managed to get four of them across the plate.

Final score: Team Wally 16, Team Rounds 13, and Team Tutrani 4.

It was obvious from the level of excitement, that players were glad to be back at the DiamondPlex.Unfortunately we received sad news regarding Joe D'Herin. He passed away peacefully at his home last night. I stopped by and gave Nancy the card each of you signed. She wanted me to thank you for the card and your prayers throughout this journey.

Team Wally and Team Tutrani played on Field A. It was a close game the entire way, with neither team ever able to separate themselves from the other. The largest difference occurred in the first inning when Mark's guys took a three run lead.. They relinquished the lead in the third inning but regained it in the fifth, holding it through the eighth. Team Wally scored three runs in the ninth to take a one run lead. Team Tutrani answered immediately as the first runner scored to tie the game but that was it as they failed to score another run. The game ended in a tie, Team Wally 14 and Team Tutrani 14.

Outstanding performances

Guttenberg 4-4

Team Hill as home against Team Ouding in another very close game. It was a game of feast or famine as both teams either scored mulitple runs or put up goose eggs. After the second inning there was never more than one run separating the teams. Going into the ninth Team Ouding was up by a single run. They were unable to score in the top of the inning. Meanwhile, Team Hill scored two quick runs on four hits. Final score Team Hill 18 and Team Puding 17.

***League News***

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our good friend and board member, Joseph "Joe" D'Herin.

Joe was originally from Michigan and retired from Ford Motor Company in 2001. He later made his home in Lake Wales with his wife, Nancy. Together, they were blessed with three sons and eight grandchildren.

Joe began playing in the WHSS league in 2004, participating in both the American and National leagues. He was also an active competitor in the Florida Half Century League starting in 2005. His dedication to the sport and the community extended beyond the field, as he served on the WHSSC Board beginning in 2014. In recognition of his contributions, Joe was inducted into the Polk County Senior Softball Hall of Fame in 2018.

Joe will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Before recapping today's games I want to acknowledge the Board for putting on a great picnic today following the games. It was particularly nice to see so many family members out  cheering on their spouses,

Secondly to highlight the big news: We will be back at the Diamond Plex starting Tuesday. Sign-in remains 08:30. Make sure you bring your bats.

We had two games again today. Sam Lopez's team faced off against Dave Rounds's team. It was interesting to say the least: neither team scored through the third inning, suggesting a battle of the pitchers. Both teams managed to put up runs in three of the last four innings and the teams were tied after six. Team Rounds failed to score in the seventh, leaving Sammy's team needing one run to pull off the victory. BJ started off th inning and ended up the winning run. Final score Team opez 7 and Team Rounds 6.

Outstanding performances

Teams Tutrani and Ouding played each other on field  one. Don's guys took a one run lead into the second inning and then outscored Mark's team in every inning through the eighth. In that span they managed to outscore their opponent eleven runs to five. Going into the last inning, the score was Team Ouding 15 and Team Tutrani 8. Don's guys were shut out which just left Mark having to score seven to tie and eight to win. They gave it the old college try as they scored four runs and had the bases loaded when the last out was made. Final score Team Ouding 15 and Team Tutrani 12.

Tuesday's Games

We had four teams today, so we were able to play two nine-inning games. Don Keller's team played Sam Lopez's team in an interesting match. Sammy's time took off like they were shot out of a cannon and held a nine to one lead after the third inning.  Things slowly turned around for Team Keller as they managed to score in every inning the rest of the way while holding Sammy's team scoreless in three of the last six innings. It was tied in the fifth inning, and the lead increased each inning. The final score was Team Keller 19, Team Lopez 12.

The closest the game got was in the first inning when Don's team scored two runs and Freddy's team tallied one. Team Ouding then put up runs in five of the ensuing innings. Unfortunately for Team Dampier they were shut out the rest of the way. The final score was Team Ouding 10 and Team Dampier 1.

Friday Game Summary

With 37 players today, we divided up into three teams managed by Ron Pepin, Don Ouding, and Juan Toro. Ron's group jumped out to an early lead in the first inning scoring four runs. Don's team was shut out and Juan's team scored three. Here is where it gets interesting: Ron's group only managed six runs the rest of the way. They were shut out in three of those innings.Meanwhile, Don's group struggled to score, managing only two runs after five innings, and remained in third place.  In the sixth and seventh innings, they finally scored on back to back homers by Steve Johnston and Ramon, but still trailed Ron's bunch by three runs. What was noteworthy was the run production—or lack thereof—by Team Toro. Although they scored three runs in the first inning, they were shut out the rest of the game, ending with the same total they had in the first inning. Final score, Team Pepin 10, Team Ouding 7, and Team Toro 3.

Before getting to the games, I want to thank those of you who attended the HOF Banquet and helped make it a memorable evening for the inductees.

Please congratulate them the next time you see them.

It seems like this field is quickly getting to be known for producing low scoring games. There were only 13 runs scored in the nine inning game. Each team played six scoreless innings. Team Pepin took the lead in the first and held the lead throughout the game. The final score was Team Pepin 8 and Team Ouding 5.

Don Keller's guys faced off against Fred DeLoach's bunch on the other field. Don's guys scored four in the first but quickly gave up the lead. Fred's group held the lead then through the sixth inning, albeit by a single run.Team Keller maxed out in the seventh to take a scant two run lead. In the eighth, Team Keller again outscored Team Deloach to build a four run lead. Each team managed one run in the ninth, so the final score ws Team Keller 22 and Team DeLoach 17. Before going to  outstanding performance I should point out that Ron Fleming returned from cataract surgery and went five for five. Obviously it was worth it.

TUESDAY'S GAMES

Before recapping this morning's games, I want to remind everyone that the Hall of Fame Banquet is tomorrow night starting at 05:30. The induction ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00. Directions are on the back of your ticket.

On field one, we pitted the two field managers against each other since they played to a tie last week. Well, after today's game, there is no doubt who came out on top. Team Wiliamson took a four run lead in the first and never looked back.. Team Marino only managed to score in three of the nine innings. It might have been closer if they hadn't ended three innings with the bases loaded and two other innings where the stranded two runners. Team Williamson was consistent, scoring in all but two innings. While their bats were hot, their run production was aided by some less that stellar defense by Team Marino.The final score was Team Williamson 15 and Team Marino 7

Team Spitaleri faced off against Team Ouding on Field Two. Team Spit trailed by two after the first inning but took the lead in the second. They extended the lead to two in the third, where it remained until the seventh as each team matched the other in runs scored in each inning. Both scores scored multiple runs in the seventh, but Team Spit extended the lead to three runs..The close games disappeared as Team Spit outscoreed Team Ouding by four runs in the eighth and opening up a seven run lead. Fortunately Team Ouding went three and out to end the game. Final score Team Spitaleri 15 and Team Ouding 8.

Friday Games Recap

On Field one we pitted the equipment managers against each other. Richie Marino faced off against Jim Williamson. Richie surprised everyone by starting himself at shortstop and batting clean up, then proudly announcing to the field "Take that sucker". Actually the game turned out to be very exciting as the outcome of the game was not decided until the last batter came to the plate. Jim's team took a three run lead in the first, lost it in the third, regained it in the fourth and held a three run lead going into the eighth. In the eighth Marino's Yankees(?) scored three tying up the game. In the ninth inning each team managed only one hit and since it wasn't over the fence, the score remained as it was in the eighth...10-10. We will allow them to try again on Tuesday to determine the winner of the Equipment Manager Shootout.

On Field two, two experienced managers faced off. Dave Rounds squared off against Don Ouding.  The box score is very reminiscent of the other game as Don's guys took the early lead and then lost the lead the next inning when Dave's boys scored four in the second while shutting Don's team down. In the fifth, Don's guys shut down Team Rounds and scored four themselves. In the sixth inning, both teams put up multiple runs resulting in a ten to ten tie. The next three innings however, saw the Rounders outscoring Don's guys by 11 runs to take a a decisive lead. Final score Rounders 20, and Ouding's team 9.
