January 2nd Games

Before we recap today's games I want to remind everyone of the opening day luncheon on Tuesday, 6 January. It will be a hectic morning as we will be issuing uniforms, taking team pictures, and playing exhibition games,.... all before lunch. We would ask everyone to be on time. That time is 09:00. Report directly to your assigned field. Pool players need to sign in at the desk.

Field B

Team Tutrani took on Team Rounds in the first game of the new year. Dave's guys started slow but managed to tie Mark's team after two innings. The next four innings saw Team Tutrani extending their lead every inning. After six innings, they enjoyed  a ten run lead. The seventh inning was exciting for both teams. Dave's guys put up six to narrow the lead, but then Mark's folks responded with five of their own. Team Rounds only managed three runs in the last two innings, so Team Tutrani did not have to bat in the ninth. Final score Team Tutrani 19 and Team Rounds 15.

Needing three to tie, Team Hill failed as they only managed to get one hit in the ninth. The final score was  Team Ouding 22 and Team Hill 19.
