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.
Outstanding Performances
Rabineau 5-5
Ott 4-5
Johnston 4-5

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.
