While there was considerable fog early on, it started to clear at game time and we actually had ideal playing conditions. We had enough players to manage two games, albeit with ten players in some cases.I cannot begin to tell you what a difference it makes to play with only four outfielders and no middle infielder. Needless to say there were a lot of hits created by the gaps. Before covering the games, I need to acknowledge the guys who stepped up to manage today....Fred DeLoach, Juan Toro, Don Keller, and Mark Tutrani.
Team Toro faced off against Team DeLoach on field one in a game that was exciting, but not ever close.The only inning that Fred's team outscored Juan's was the sixth. The final score could have been much worse if not for the flip flop and the four run per inning rules. There were a combined ten balls that left the park by both teams. Another curious fact was that Juan's players were able to hit nine grounders between first and second bases. Both statistics have to be a record..The final score was Team Toro 27 and Team DeLoach 17.

Team Tutrani took an early lead and held it through the fifth inning when Team Keller scored four runs to take a razor thin one run lead. Obviously feeling their oats, they went on to outscore Mark's group by six runs in the next two innings. Mark had the top of the line up coming to bat, needing seven runs to tie. With big hitters coming up it looked like there was a chance if they could just get a rally going. Unfortunately they were not able to score a single run and the game ended as Team Keller did not have to bat in the ninth. Final score Team Keller 16 and Team Tutrani 9.
