Tuesday's Games

Before I recap todays games, I need to announce that effective Friday, games will start at 09:00. That means that you must sign in or call by 08:30.

Field A

In the first inning, both teams scored five runs and it looked like it was going to be a slugfest from the outset. Unfortunately that did not turn out to be the case as the fielding team's bats went cold. They did not manage to score again until the fifth inning and that was for only one run. They only managed one multiple run inning for the entire game. and that was in the seventh.

The hitting team lived up to the name as they seemed to score at will, scoring multiple runs in every inning except for the second. Obviously they built up a substantial lead going into the eighth inning.. They had built such a significant lead that the flip flop run was put into play.

The fielding team  team had to score 12 runs to tie after the flip flop.. Unfortunately they went three and out in both of the last innings. The final score was hitting team 24 and fielding team 12.

Outstanding performances

Jeff R 6-7

John T 5-5

Rusty 4-5

Jeff 4-5

Jerry Ryan 5-5 and winning pitcher

Raymundo 4-5

Field B

Team Zelazny faced off against Team Lopez.. The game started slow with only one run scored in the first inning..Both teams rebounded in the second with Team Z scoring five, and Team Lopez scoring six, tying the score. That was as close as it got, as Team Zelazny scored five runs in six of the eight innings while Team Lopez only managed multiple runs in two innings going into the eighth inning when they crossed the plate three times. Unfortunately they still found themselves chasing 13 runs. Consequently, our game also instituted the flip flop rule. Team Lopez was not to be denied and they batted around and managed to score six runs. Unfortunately it was not enough to overcome the lead Team Zelazny had built..THe final score was Team Zelazny 34 and Team Lopez 25.

Friday Games

Two games today. A mixed American League game on field B and a National League 3 team game on field A. The Managers were Wally, Spitilari and Zelazny. After 1 inning it was Wally 4, Spitilari 3 and Zelazny 2. In the 2nd inning no team scored and the only other goose egg recorded was in the top of the open inning by team  Wally. The fact there was much scoring and players going on and off the field was very slow may be why we didn't get out of the Diamonplex until after 12:30. We only have those fields until noon on days we play and I was reminded of that by a city employee. After 4 innings it was 11, 11, 8 with Team Zelazny having the 8. Final was team Spitilari 22, team Wally 17 and team Zelazny 13.

5 hits.      Jorge, B.J. Spitilari

4 hits.      Testa, Lopez, DeLoach,

Fwd: Fw: 4-1-25 field 2 at Sertoma.

The new rule on this field proved to be a good move as many opportunities to throw a runner out from the outfield could not develop.  

Managers were Lopez, B.J. and Vanderhyde even tho he played defense for all 3 teams. 

All teams scored in the first inning with team Vanderhyde 5, team B.J. 3 and team Lopez 2. After 5 innings it was team Vanderhyde 11, team B.J. 8 and team Lopez 7.  Vanderhyde won the game without ever having an at bat with a score of 15, 13, 7.
