Catherine Barton Realty - 12 Game Day Health - 11

Today we maximized during our last bat in the seventh to win by one run. This win was especially fun as we were down 8 to 0 going into the third inning. Our defence tightened up in this inning which helped to get us back in the game. Thank you to our subs, Patrick Tim and Tom for helping us get on the winning side of this game.

Gameday came out literally on fire today,,   Jumping out to an 8- 0 lead after 2 innings,,  But that is where the wheels came off.  Gameday was only able to score 3 runs in the next 5 innings, falling to Barton 12 -11.  Kirk Andes was our only perfect batter today going 4 for 4.  Scott Boyd and Mike Martin were 3 for 4, with Curtis Rhoades and Joe Osoweic going 2 for 3.

Desert Sands Cons - 11 FastSigns - 20

It was a tough loss for Desert Sands Construction 20-11 to FastSigns. The score does not reflect the game. The game went back and forth with lead changes through 6 innings. Then in the top of the 7th trailing FS 13-11 DSC made some errors, bad throws and some timely hits by FS to plate 7 runs. In the bottom of the 7th we went down 1-2-3. Our hitting was good today with Randy Ratcliff going 3-4 a double & 2 RBI's, John Hammel 3-4 & 3 RBI's, Jeff Nickerson 3-4 & a RBI, Chris Espejo 2-3 & 1 RBI, and Tom Yurkunas 3-3. A special thanks to Gary Finer and Norm Volk for subbing today.

Fast Signs played one of its best games of the season against a very tough Desert Sands Construction team. FS had 35 hits - hitting close to 800 for the game. Six players had 4 hits - Ken "K2" Krzemenski (3R/RBI); Mike "Mad Dog" Martin (R/3RBI, 2B and 3B); Rick "EE" Pearson (3R/2RBI, 2B); Chip "the Rip" Stanczak (2R/4RBI, 3B); Phil "Philly Special" Hughes (2R/2RBI) - and John "Nico" Nicodemo (3R/3RBI, 2B and ITP HR). Everyone had at least 2 hits today - Paul "Cinnamon" Jinneman had 3 hits (2R/RBI); Mike "MJ" Jordan (2B), Sal "Vatore" Politi (2R/RBI), Laura "Nana" Johnson (R/RBI) and Lonnie "Says" Saiz (R/2RBI, 2B) all had two hits! Despite a couple of miscues in the field, the defense held and made some plays when it counted - and Phil pitched a terrific game! Special thanks to Mike Martin for super subbing. Thank you to Kirk King and Brian Walters for umpiring - and to Scotty Boyd in the Tower. Thank you also to Tammy for keeping the scorebook and doing a lot of writing!

A very tight game today, right to the last inning. Bad luck with the needed bats in the seventh inning for Catherine Barton‘s team. We lost by one run to the first place team. Thank you to Tim Mitchell, Bill Tierney, and John Boland for adding to our fun factor as subs today. 

Game Day Health - 10 FastSigns - 13

Gameday belted out 23 hits but could only push 10 runs across the plate.  To many mistakes/errors.  Kevin Katsui and Mike Martin were a perfect 4 for 4 at the plate, with Mike leading with 3 rbis.  Will try again next week.

Wow, what a difference 48 hours makes!  FastSigns came out as hot as the Surprise heat (109 at one point), building a 8-1 lead after 3 innings.  After some very shaky defense on Tuesday, we played really well on defense today!  We scored just enough runs to maintain the lead and pull out a win over the first place team (tied with Desert going into today).  Glenn T is out for the session due to a painful chip in his glove hand.  Phil Hughes has joined us and pitched a great game today - this change allowed Laura to roam in RC!  We had some solid plays by Rick the Rover, Chip made a quick throw to assist on an out to Sal, who made a great catch at home.  Paul made a running catch in Right to help in the 7th.  Mike made many good plays at 1b and Ken continues to play well at the hot corner.  Just a fun day at the park!  Offense was good but today was about the defense!! I will add, Nico led the way with 4 hits and Chip had 3!  Thanks to Joel and Dick umpiring in the heat and Mick and Randy V in the tower!!

Desert Sands Cons - 9 Game Day Health - 10

Desert Sands Construction dropped their second game this session to the tough GameDay Health 10-9. Once again we did not play good defense. Numerous errors resulted in extra outs & runs for Gameday. Hitting was not great. We had the tying run on 3rd & winning run on 2nd but could not get them home. Randy Ratcliff is still going strong 4-4 a double & 2 RBI's, John Hammel 2-4 a double & 4 RBI's, Jim Mathews 2-3. A special thanks to Craig Nelson for stepping in for an injured Brad Brulotte. Also a thank you to Norm Volk for subbing.

Wasn't  Gamedays most stellar performance,  but just enough to pull out a win.   Brian Pin and Scott Boyd were both a perfect 4 for 4 at the plate.  RBI leader today was Mike Martin with 6 runs accentuated by an out of the park grandslam. 

Catherine Barton Realty - 15 FastSigns - 14

Way too much fun today! Catherine Barton’s team scored six out of seven innings to win a very tight game 15 to 14 against fast signs. Two on base , two out in the bottom of the seventh… I, Jocelyne, was confident that Jay being at the plate would secure the one run we needed to win the game. Ugh! Way too much pressure; Jocelyn had to bat with bases loaded, and holding the job of bringing in the winning run. I’m not going lie, succeeding at the plate in this instance was super fun! Thank you to our three subs, John, Laura and Ed for helping us out today. Thank you so much to Joel today for being such an incredible team player. His decisions made a very significant contribution to the outcome of this game and many others. 

"Another tough day at the yard! FastSigns jumped to a quick 8-3 lead after two vs Catherine Barton. Barton climbed back into the game in the 3rd and, well, it is Senior Softball and today our defense struggled a bit as well as several balls that dropped in between our fielders. With the win, Barton climbed to within a game of Fastsigns. Our offense did pretty well today - leading the way was Mike “MJ” Jordan with 4 hits, Nico and Glenn chipped in 3 hits while Ken, Rick, Laura, Chip and Sal all rapped out 2 hits. Laura pitched another good game. Thanks to Nick and Brian for umpiring and Kirk in the tower. On to Thursday……

FastSigns - 14 Desert Sands Cons - 13

" It was a hot morning at the field of Dreams! The only things hotter may have been the FastSigns bats, banging out 23 hits in a 14-13 walkoff win vs the extremely tough Desert Sands Construction. After a late night strategy session we focused on hitting it where Brad B wasn’t and it worked!! Super Sub John “Johnny B” Boland led the way with 4 hits and was followed by Nico (leading off the 7th with a single) Ken (who remains on a torrid hit streak!), Rick (game winning 2 run single in the 7th), and Chip (4 RBI in 3 ABs) with 3 hits. Sal and Glenn rapped out 2 hits! Our defense played well after a shaky 2nd inning where we gave them 5 outs BUT held them to one run! Laura pitched a stellar game and made a couple of plays up the middle! Thanks to John, Tim, and Ed for subbing on this hot morning. Thanks to Mike M in the tower and Don and Charlie working the umpire duties. Great team win and really fun to be a part.
"

Desert Sands Construction suffered its first loss today to FastSigns 14-13. DSC did not have a good day hitting or fielding. We had missed opportunities to score and too many errors. Hats off to the FastSign squad who's bats were hot today. We started off the day great, scoring 4 in the 1st inning but then only 1 in the next 4 innings. In the 6th inning we were down 12-5 but put up 4 runs and held FS to zero runs. In the 7th we scored 4 and with the bases loaded could not get another run but still had a 1 run lead. Then in the bottom of the 7th, FS put up 2 good hits and with the bases loaded had a deep shot to the wall and scored 2 for the win.

Thanks to our defense for the win today.  Gameday was only able to come up with 15 hits.  Hot bats were Brian Pin, Mike Martin and Sean Baker. Top RBI producer was Kirk Andes pushing 6 runs across the plate.

"In the third inning, the bottom of our batting order started us off with Mick, Dick and Joel all getting on base. Jay being our lead off batter then hit a triple to bring them home. Jocelyne then made a hit to bring Jay in, which gave us the fun, 4 run inning. Thank you to Patrick and Joel for subbing. It was great to have Dick return to playing second base after a bad fall a couple of weeks back."

FastSigns - 8 Catherine Barton Realty - 15

Well, it was a tough day all around for the FastSigns squad on a beautiful morning game at the Field of Dreams.  We played decent defense holding the Realtors to 15 runs but scored only 8 in a 15-8 loss.  We hit .441 over the 7 innings which translated to four innings of no runs - tough task to overcome.  The Barton squad made several great defensive plays that normally would plate some runs.  Leading our team at the plate was Nico with 3 hits, Skip, Laura, and Paul with 2 hits each.  Thanks to Brad in the tower, Nick and Tom Y pulling the umpiring duties.  Thanks to Skip for filling in for Glenn. 

Catherine Barton's team had all that was needed today to secure a win against Fast Signs. Our defense was outstanding the entire 7 innings and our hitting was smart and consistent. Thank you to Tom Ranalls and Norma Lucas for subbing for us today. Super fun game!

Game Day Health - 6 Desert Sands Cons - 12

Desert Sands Construction put up another win this time against the tough 2nd place GameDay squad 12-6. We started out slow with only 5 runs through 4 innings but put up 7 in the last 3. Defense was outstanding again today with John Hammel making a couple of great catches in the outfield, Jeff Nickerson snagging some hits at pitcher and Jim Mathews stopping a hard hit ball at 2nd and making the out.

The Bankers faced some adversity with the season ending injury to our Short Stop Ron Silberman by the 3rd inning. The Bankers never gave up and always supported each other and not once did I hear a negative comment. All the frustration came out in game 12 as the Bankers took on and defeated a determined Implant Periodontics 21 -12. In left field Jim Opyd had a couple of catches, Kevin Katsuki who traded with Wayne Moxley in the outfield, caught a fly ball in left center.

Bob Williams was steady at 3rd and Charlie Greer, learning a new position playing short stop, had a few nice plays for outs. Wayne Moxley got to play rover and caught a pop up and covered 2nd base. Norma Lucas played 2nd for the 1st time this season and held her own. Dave Holub was consistent all season at 1st base. The battery of Wes Mason and Don Trenda again pitched a good game with Wes Mason recording an out at home and Don Trenda fielding his position for some quick outs. Offensively the Bankers had 27 hits including perfect at the plate Jim Opyd 4/4 double 2 RBIs and Kevin Katsuki 2 RBIs. Going 3/4 were Charlie Greer double RBI ( Charlie scored many runs for the team as a pinch runner all season), Bob Williams double 4 RBIs, Dave Holub double 4 RBIs and Norma Lucas 2 RBIs. Going 2/3 were Barney Armstrong in the park HR walk RBI and Wayne Moxley walk RBI. Don Trenda was 2/4 with a double and an RBI. Getting on base were Dede Gaetz double 3 RBIs ( Dede got hurt in the 6th inning and Dick Steiman subbed. Dick was able to walk in the 7th inning) and Wes Mason was 1/2 with a walk.

Today we played the Hanson Realty Team.  It was a very close game. Both teams played good defense keeping the score close for the whole game. We had some good hits that they caught and they had some good hits that we caught. Everyone played well.  A good way to end the season. A special thanks to Jack Miller subbing for Sheldon Rosenthal and Bob Cary for doing the book and keeping the batting order straight in spite of me trying to screw it up.  Have a great summer wherever you may end up and looking forward to seeing you all again in the Fall.

Copper Division

Ex Imports Auto - 7 Ranall's Realty - 17

Well the Exclusively Imports Automotive Repair team started and ended the season with lopsided defeats. However it was the ten games in between that showed the true makeup of the team. Rallying from a 1 and 3 start, the EIAR team claimed a share of the championship with JD’s Ranalls Realty team. Congratulations to both squads! With a chance to win an outright title, the Exclusively Imports team came out flat as beer after extra innings while the Ranalls team was just the opposite. Leading hitters for EIAR were Pete Sluys and Bruce Lowe with three hits each. Collecting two hits were Greg Roehm, John Hammel, Les Zirbel Roger Guth and Don Ranieri. Brian Combs, Gary Ambruz and the Coach each chipped in with one hit. So, as the Spring Copper League session concludes, let’s thank all the players, coaches, sponsors, ground crew, fans, commissioner and all the behind the scenes people for making this a successful league played at a great facility. Have a great summer.

Well, Ranall’s Realty wrapped up the season today with a strong finish, earning a solid 17–7 victory over a very tough EX Exports Auto team. We knew it would take our A+ game to come out on top, and the team delivered from start to finish.  We came out with sharp, decisive defense and played together as a cohesive unit every inning. Runs were hard to come by early on, but once the bats started heating up, we found our rhythm and put together a strong offensive surge through the middle innings and into the finish.  (Sub) Craig Nelson got the attack rolling with a perfect 5-for-5 day at the plate. Other key standouts were (sub) Jeff Nickerson and Tom Gibans, both going an impressive 4-for-5. At the same time, Gibby put on an outstanding pitching performance, keeping EX Exports Auto to minimal runs and giving us the stability we needed on the mound.   A huge thank you to everyone on this team for your excellent play both on and off the field. The spirit, teamwork, and camaraderie all season long have been fantastic. It was a pleasure ending the season on such a positive note and sharing in the title together!  Let’s Party!

Catherine Barton Realty - 10 Homesmart Ezell Reaty - 17

Terry’s take: The final game of the spring session was somewhat of a synopsis of the entire session. Some ups and some downs. Some games we found all the holes and others that seemed like we were facing 15 defenders. Things didn’t go our way this session but it wasn’t for a lack of effort by the CB crew and I appreciate all of you for that. It was a very balanced league and I enjoyed being a part of it. Thanks to everyone for making it so fun. As for the game, CB took a 4-2 in the first thanks to Joel’s 3 run homer. The bats went cold in the second through fourth inning while the HS club plated 11 runs to take a 13-4 lead. HS came up with 3 runs in the top of the fifth (looked pretty dire going into the bottom half of the inning trailing 16-3) but the never quit CB squad dug in their heels scoring 4 runs on 8 hits capped off by Jeff’s double and Lloyd’s triple to close the gap to 16-8. Shutting out HS in the sixth Jeff led off the bottom half with a double followed by Joel’s home run. HS added 1 run and shut out CB in the seventh for the victory. Top hitters: Brad Brulotte 4-5, Jeff Nickerson 3-4 2 doubles, Joel Breiner 3-4 2 HRs, Les Zerbel 3-4, Bill Tirney 3-4, Lloyd Newlands 2-4 1 triple, Bill Parker 2-4, Roger Guth 2-4, and Joe Pioli adding a hit. Thanks to our subs for their fine work, you are greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the umpires and scoreboard operators. Thanks to Joel and Jeff for managing in my absence, excellent job guys! Thanks again to Bruce Spiegel and to Pierre for his work with the write ups. Thanks to everyone in the club for making this such a great place to play!!!

Well, that’s a wrap……HomeSmart finished out the season on a high note, beating Catherine Barton 17-10 in the last game of the session. Congrats to both Ranalls Realty and Exclusively Imports for taking top honors. With the win, HomeSmart finished a game out of a tie at the top. I enjoyed this group a lot! Jay remained red hot following Tuesdays 5-5 with a 4-5 today. Mike kicked in 5-5 and Jim and Randy had 3 hits each. Special thanks for Tom Gibans coming out of the stands to finish up the last five innings for Glenn who reinjured his hand. >> Thanks to Dave and Judd for umping and Lisa in the Tower. Happy Birthday Sean Baker!
