As we transitioned back to the Diamondplex last week, there were plenty of players from both leagues. Both days, the American league had a 2-team game and the National League had a 3-team game. 

On Friday, the managers in the National League were Bob Vandenberg (Vandy), Robert Spitaleri (Spit) and Fred Dampier (Fred).  Spit started out fast with a nickle in the first inning but after 5 innings it was Fred 6, Vandenberg 11 and Spit 10. Vandy did end up on top with a final of 13, 12, 7.  It was a very well-played game with many fine defensive plays as the score indicates. Perhaps the most notable play was by Debbie on Spit's team behind the plate when she charged out in front of the plate to snag a pop up that landed nicely in her glove. 

The hitters. 

3 hits.   O'Callaghan, Rodriguez,  

              Reagen, Hudson 

2 hits.   Hicks, Burtner, Dampier,

              Vanderhyde, Jose L.,

              Dowd, Zelazny, Mathew,

              Debbie, Spitaleri 

Weather is supposed to be great. See y'all Tuesday.

Welcome back to Diamond Plex!

After eagerly awaiting the return to our home field, the American League players came back with a vengeance. Two talented teams faced off, with Team Lou dominating early on by scoring runs in every inning up to the sixth. Team Tommy seemed rusty, with no runs scored until the fifth inning. It appeared that Team Lou would easily win, but Team Tommy had other plans. By the end of the eighth inning, Team Tommy had ten runs while Team Lou had twenty-two. However, in the ninth inning, Team Tommy exploded with fifteen runs, taking the lead with a score of twenty-five to twenty-two. The future looked grim for Team Lou, but they refused to give up. With two quick outs, Joe D’Herin stepped up to the plate and delivered a crucial base hit. This sparked a rally, with hit after hit tying the game. Finally, Dana Ferrande hit a game-winning base hit, securing the victory with a final score of twenty-five to twenty-six. Team Lou celebrated another thrilling win, and it was an incredible feeling to be back at the Diamond Plex.

Well, the Mets and Coconuts met today in the game of the year.  The score at the end of five was 19-10 Mets and when the Mets scored l0 in the top of nine bring the score to 35-l8 Mets. Game over----------NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.   The Coconuts came up with 13 in the bottom of nine for a final score 35-31 Mets.  In all of my senior league playing only one other game was more amazing.

The ninth inning took almost an hour to play.  Hitting highlights for the Coconuts were Gary B and Gary Anderson going 6-7 and Anderson hit several over the fence as he did in the last game.   The difference was today they were doubles and Tue. they were outs. Jose joined in with 5-6 and a base on balls.

The Mets featured Reagan, the only player going perfect for both teams with 7-7.  Following with 6-7 was Gelinas, Vining, Boito, and Toro  5-7. Last but not least was Knox with 6-8. Thanks to Reagan, B.J and Mathew for filling in from the pool and finally the winning pitcher was Lopiccolo and he also went 5-7.

Both teams exhibited good sportsmanship by approving the other team fill ins at the position needed by the opposition.

Today was another great day at the ole ball park@
