Tuesday Games

We managed to field four full teams today as we had a number of American League players join us. I sometimes fail to mention the guys that make this happen every week.So here it goes... I don't know if you are aware that Richie Marino, Jim Williamson, and Loren Fabian show up every day around 06:30 to determine if we can play based on field conditions and then set up all the fields. This includes lining the fields, setting the bases and bringing out the equipment.Make sure you thank them when you see them.

Team Ouding and Team Rounds fought it out on field one. To say it was strange is an understatement. It was bizarre. Team Ouding jumped out to an early nine run lead and it looked like it was going to be a blow out. Then came the  bottom of the fourth, and Team Rounds came roaring back by scoring nine runs and tieing up the game. It remained close through the eighth inning with only two runs separating the two teams. Then the bats came alive again for Team Ouding as thirteen batters came to the plate and managed to score ten runs. Down by twelve, Donna led off and scored. Good defense shut them down leaving the final score Team Ouding 28 and Team Rounds 17.

Team Tutrani faced off against Team Dampier on field two. What should have been a very exciting and close game, with tons of runs being scored, turned out to be a low scoring lopsided affair. Team Tutrani managed only three runs through four innings, but that was more than enough to open a lead, as Team Dampier failed to score through the third. They put up two runs in the fourth and that proved to be the only runs they scored the entire game..Meanwhile, Mark's guys scored multiple runs in each of the remaining innings. The final score ended up Team Tutrani 13 and Team Dampier 2.

Outstanding performances
Nestor 4-4
DeLuca 3-4 w/homer
Knox 4-4
Capozzi 3-3
Soto 3-3
