Solivita Recap
Thursday 30 May 2024.
The Winter Haven travel team embarked on a thrilling journey to Solivita for a two-game matchup. The first game was an absolute nail-biter, with Winter Haven quickly scoring five runs and showcasing impeccable defense, holding Solivita to only seven runs. The final score was a triumphant 13-7 victory for Winter Haven.
The second game took a different turn, as Solivita came out swinging and Winter Haven struggled to score more than eight runs throughout the game. In the end, Solivita emerged victorious with a score of 19-8. Despite the outcome, we are eagerly anticipating our next competition next month. Let's bring our A-game and show them what we're made of!
Notable hits.
Mike Vaccaro 4/7 2-HRs
Rocco Morris 2-HRs
Dana Ferrande 4/6

A very close 3 team mixed game today with the pitchers being Pat Lopiccolo, Ron Thompson and Wally. Couldn't tell who the managers were as the sheets just said hit, sit, field. I also can't do all the hitters as 1 sheet had no registration of how they got on base, but all runs were kept accurate as the final score was Pat 19, Ron 17 and Wally 16. Thompson led the entire game and were up 16, 11, 11 going into the open inning where they only plated 1 run and Wally scored 5 but Pat's team came up with 8 runs for the final.
I will note that Kathie had a perfect day at the plate with a walk and 2 solid singles. She also made a fine catch in deep right field off the bat of one the American league sluggers, JD Davis.
I would also like to welcome newcomer Dave Rounds who sent the first pitch thrown to him to the left field fence for a triple and followed that up with 2 singles for a perfect day at the plate in his WHSS debut game.

The schedule is out for the FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD GATOR REDLEG SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT scheduled for this Saturday at the Diamondplex. Opening ceremonies will begin at 8:00 AM and the games will begin after the ceremonies are complete. Winter Haven Senior Softball has always provided umpires for this one-day fun tournament. Providing umpires at no cost to the FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD allows them to use the funds raised from this tournament to benefit members of the FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD. WHSS is still in need of volunteer umpires. If you would like to umpire, please show up at the Diamondplex at 8:00 AM Saturday morning. There will be a short umpire meeting to discuss the rules and the games will begin after the opening ceremonies. Food and Drinks will be provided to the umpires all day. We will be wearing last year's Grey WHSS shorts and this year's Dark Blue WHSS shirts. If you do not have those items, you can wear something close to that.
Please come support your FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD by volunteering to umpire at this fun tournament.
Don Witmer, Commissioner
