Petelin Vision - 7 Fast Signs - 13

For the 3rd time Petelin Vision went up against the Fast Sign Softball Team and for the 3rd time Petelin Vision went down in defeat. Defensively we didn't play poorly, with some nice defensive play including, John Boland made a great pickup on a hard-hit grounder then racing to 2nd base for the force-out and a hard throw to 1st base for the double play. Randy Ratcliff made a running catch on a well hit ball in Right Center Field for a big out. The defensive play of the game was made by Dave Swanson who was playing Left Field Linebacker. Seeing John Nicodemo in Left Center Wide Receiver going out for a pass on 3rd and 10, Dave, went for an above the waste tackle on John to break up the play. John, having great hands, pulled the ball in as they both fell to the ground. 1st and 10 what a play!! Offensively Fast Signs hit the ball well today while Petelin Vision could only muster 15 hits. Rick Pearson was 2/2 with a SAC Fly and an RBI. John Boland was 3/4 (triple), Laura Johnson was 2/3 (RBI), Paul Larson 2/3 (double), John Nicodemo 2/4 (3 RBI's). Picking up 1 hit were Dave Swanson, Randy Ratcliff, Thom Yurkunas (RBI), Greg Church 1/3. Petelin Vision Thanks Kathy Boland for keeping our Scorebook.

Fast Signs had another great game to top a hard running Petelin 13-7. Fantastic defense was on display today with Brad Brulotte running from shortstop position to basically bare hand catch a flying ball in foul territory for the out. Frank Sandomenico jumped to make a catch and then scooped a fly ball out of the dirt for 2 outs. The outfield was solid making all of their catches. Jay Schirpke was 3-3 a HR & 3 RBI's, Kevin Katsuki was 3-3 & 3 RBI's, Frank Sandomenico 3-4 & 3 RBI's, Jerry Eastham 2-3 & 1 RBI, Brad Brulotte 1-4 1 run, Ted Grove 2-3 2 runs, Don (I am finally back) Trenda 1-4 & 1 RBI, Martin Jiminez 1-4, Scott Boyd a walk and run scored, hurt himself running to home. A special thanks to Ed Campbell for filling in for Scott and going 1-2

WyYerd Fiber - 10 Ranall's Realty - 14

After we took a 7-5 lead starting the 5th inning, Ranalls Realty scored 9 runs to our 3 runs and they pulled out a 14-10 victory over our WyYerd Fiber team. We played very good defense with a lot of nice catches in the outfield, especially the line drive out to RCF Ken Silva ranging to his right and making a back-handed-knee-high catch . SS "Nick" Nickerson made some great plays and 2nd baseman Wes Mason made two nice ground ball plays and fired to 1st baseman John Hammel. As usual P Tom Gibans pitched a great game. Silva led the way going 4/4 scoring 4 runs with a triple and 2 doubles. 3rd Baseman Greg "Maverick" Roehm was also perfect at the plate and had 3 RBI and LF Danny Wood hit enough bloops to drive in 3 Runs. Contributing hits were Hammel 2/4 with a double and a triple and Tom Gibans 2/3 with a triple and an RBI, Nickerson had an RBI, LCF Chris Espejo 1/3 with an RBI and C Ed Hart (burned the LF) bringing in a run and RF Jeff Smith. Rover Dick Steiman worked a walk (hard to do with the flyin' Hawaiian pitching). Relative new-comer Frank "Sando" Sandomenico and long-time player/umpire Dan "Hello" Newman officiated the game perfectly and Jerry Eastham was great in the tower.

In a hard fought game, Ranalls managed to hang on. Leading hitter was Dick Nunez 4/4 triple. JD Dilree double and Jim Opyd were 3/4. Howard Sumner was 2/3. Jeff Watson double, Craig Nelson 2 triples, Craig Warner double, and Ed Campbell were all 2/4. Thank you to Daren Proctor, Marty Jiminez, and Greg Church for subbing.
