Ranall's Realty - 15 Homesmart Ezell - 17

Momma said there would be days like this, and this was one of those days. This was a close game, and we fought to get a one-run lead going into the 7th inning. The Homesmart team put up three runs in the top of the 7th as our defense had a couple of whoops moments, and we unfortunately went down in order in the bottom of the 7th. Ouch! We batted 634% for the day as everyone had at least 2 hits. We look forward to ending our loss skid on Thursday. Thank you to our umpires and scoreboard operator today. 

Happy Cinco de Mayo! It was a beautiful morning at the Field of Dreams and we faced the first place Ranalls Realty team with Tom on the mound - Always a tough assignment. The HomeSmart team came to play today - securing a 17-15 win! A couple of tough defensive innings led to 8 runs but we tightened up the D and held RR scoreless the last two frames. The offense was sharp with our first four hitters going 15-19 with a walk and scored 12 runs. Jay and Mike had four hits and Jim chipped in 3. Eric, Glenn and Sean had 2 hits each - Sean has been on fire since moving to the 10 spot in the line. Glenn pitched another gem - giving up single digit earned runs! Thanks to Brian C and Jeff S for umping a great game and Greg R in the tower. Enjoy the margaritas, chips, and salsa today!

Catherine Barton Realty - 15 Ex Imports Auto - 19

Terry’s take: It was a very pleasant morning at the Field of Dreams this morning, perfect weather to play ball. The Ex squad found the gaps early and in the middle of the third inning were up 10-1, but quit isn’t a word the CB crew believes in, responding with a five spot of our own capped off by Jeff Nickerson’s first home run of the day. Down 14-8 going into the bottom of the fifth inning the top of the order loaded the bases and Jeff sent the ball out again for a grand slam. Down four in the sixth the CB boys were unsuccessful to add any runs but added two runs in the bottom of the seventh off of Jeff’s THIRD home run of the game. It was an excellent effort by the CB crew, we just came up a bit short. Jeff had a great game, solid at third base and super at the plate. Three home runs, ten RBI’s, and a sacrifice. Tom Ranalls was perfect at the plate with four hits including two doubles. Ray Gibson was perfect with two singles and a double. JP with two hits and a sacrifice. Kirk, John Boland and Lloyd each with two hits including Lloyds triple. Brian, Bill, and Terry each added a hit. Thanks to our subs Tom Ranalls and John Boland, and to Eric and Brian making the calls and Mike in the tower. Great job everyone!!!

Good things happened in threes for Exclusively Import Auto Repair today. . We won our third game in a row after losing 3 of our first four games. Three of our regulars had three hits. Unfortunately those threes were negated by EIAR hitting into three double plays and Jeff “Sunday” Nickerson hitting three home runs, each of which was a no doubter. By the way, Jeff plays for the Catherine Barton Realty team, today’s opponent, whom we were playing for the third time. And fortunately, the third time was the charm, as Exclusively Imports came away with a 19-15 victory.Just like a fine tuned Ferrari, the mechanics came out with their hitting shoes poised for a big day. Leading the charge for the EIAR squad was Les Zirbel with a perfect 5/5 day at the plate. Les is now 12/14 in his last three games. Sub Ken Silva was 4/4 while also contributing to the offensive hit parade were sub Mike Hirsch, Bruce Lowe, John Hammel and the Coach with three hits each. Everyone else had at least one hit, with three players having two hits.As the session enters the last five games, the Copper league finds all 4 teams within one game of each other. Teams are either 4-3 or 3-4. Looks like it will be a fight to the finish for the coveted league championship trophy and rings.

Ranall's Realty - 10 Ex Imports Auto - 18

Not one of our better days today, both teams were tied at 7 runs each after 2 innings and then EI pulled away, we really never recovered. EI was hitting gaps well and also sailed a couple of balls over our heads in the outfield as well. EI currently is our number 1 nemesis having given us our only losses so far. We didn't play at the level we have in other games and we have to tip our hats to the EI team. We had our lowest hitting average of the year at 512 percent which is quite a bit lower than our average for the year. Hopefully we will get back into the win column next week.

"The weather has warmed up and so have the collective bats of Exclusively Imports Auto Repair. Having won 3 of their last four games, the mechanics have become that object in the rear view mirror, closing in on the Ranalls Realty team. With their second victory of the session against Ranalls, the Copper league has suddenly turned into a four team race! For newcomers to these write ups, there are only four teams)! The hit parade was led by Les Zirbel as he tried to match Ranieri’s numbers on Tuesday., Les was all set for a 5/5 day at the plate until on his last at bat Moondawg got in the way of a Zirbel line drive and recorded the out. Ranieri’s torrid streak continued as he was 3/3 with two walks sandwiched in between single one and three. Other Exclusively Imports players with three hits were John Hammel and the Coach. Amassing two hits to their box scores were Roger Guth, Gary Ambruz, Bruce Lowe and Brian Combs. One of Brian’s hits was a line drive home run over the left center field wall. As we flip the calendar to May, the second half of the spring, Copper league, should be an exciting one. Get your tickets early as shaded seating is limited. Tuesday/Thursday’s game are at 8 and 9:15. Exclusively Imports will play The Barton boys on May 5 in the battle of second place teams. First pitch between 7:45 and 8 a.m. There is no radio coverage but the game is available on The Grand Softball livestream network!"

Homesmart Ezelle - 7  Catherine Barton Realty - 15

It was a tough morning at the Field of Dreams for HomeSmart.  The weather was awesome, the offense was not.  Barton beat HomeSmart 15-7 and the score was not as close as it appeared!  Glenn pitched a good game, our outfield made some nice catches and Chip, subbing for us, made two great stops throwning from a seated position…..great plays.  The offense was led by Jim, Glenn, and Chip with three hits.  Jay, Gary, Randy, and Sean chipped in 2 hits as well.  On to Tuesday!  Safe travels to Russ W and Scotty as they head out tomorrow…..and to all that are heading out this week. Thanks to Bruce and Jeff for umpiring and Brian C in the tower.

Terry’s take:  With promises of mint juleps waiting in the winner’s circle, CB came out of the gate leading by 2 lengths but HS closed the gap and went up by 2 lengths going into the first turn. Heading into the second turn HB kept their lead but coming out of the turn CB with a burst of energy went back up by two lengths. It was nose to nose down the back stretch but CB got to the inside on the third turn and came out with a 6 lengths lead. HB started to gain some ground in the final turn but CB opened up an 8 lengths gap down the home stretch. Top jockeys for the CB crew were JP Guzik and Kirk Andes both 4-5, Scott Kibby and Jeff Nickerson  both 3-5. Lloyd Newlands, Brian Walters, and Terry Graves all going 3-4. Roger Williams and Bill Parker both 2-4 and Ray Gibson  adding a hit. Special thanks to Roger for helping us out in Joel’s absence and Scott who’s headed back to Iowa for the summer. Thanks to the umpire and scoreboard crew. Happy Derby Weekend everyone.

Ranalls Realty - 22 Catherine Barton Realty - 10

It was a gorgeous day to play, and visiting Catherine Barton crew wasted no time, punching us in the face with a 5-run 1st inning. We responded with 5 runs in the 1st inning and 5 more in the 2nd inning. We added 8 more runs in the 3rd and 4th innings and 4 more runs in the 6th inning to put the game away with a 22-10 win. We batted 683% for the game and played well defensively. Tom Ranalls pitching performance limited the CB crew after their 1st inning outburst and only gave up 5 runs for the rest of the game. Lisa Pelletier had another triple in the 1st inning to clear the bases and tie the game up. We had another great team effort. Eric Shouse subbed for us today and had a couple of nice catches as well as a double and triple in the game. Everyone had at least 1 hit and contributed today. It was nice to have Dan Newman back after being out for the previous 4 games. Our thanks to Don Ranieri and Bryan Combs for their fine umpiring, and Jim Wagaman for handling the scoreboard operations today.

Terry’s take: The CB crew took one on the chin against a tough RR squad today. We came out at the bell and got in some strong shots for a 5 count but the RR boys came right back with a 5 count of their own and then again in the second round. We got our wind back in the third and fourth but weren’t able to block their hooks and jabs. We ran out of gas in the  fifth and sixth rounds. So, it’s back in the gym and get our work in and prepare for the next bout on Thursday. Thanks to John Boland for subbing and leading the squad with a 3-3 day. Everyone else chipped in with one or two hits. Thanks to the umpires Don and Jeff and Jimon the scoreboard.

Ex Imports Auto - 20 Homesmart Ezell - 19

"The Exclusively Imports Auto Repair had only scored 33 runs in their previous 4 games. Today, against a formidable opponent wearing the Homesmart/Ezell Realty jerseys, the mechanics put up 20 runs without hitting in their half of the seventh inning. The result was a hard earned 20-19 victory. Despite some “you can’t make this stuff up antics” defensively, early in the game, the EIAR righted the ship and earned their second victory. Offensively the team was running on all ten cylinders. Every player scored at least one run and every player had at least one hit. Leading the offensive explosion from the lead off position was Don Ranieri. The guy who can tell you anything and everything about a softball bat, showed us all how to use one. Don was 5/5 with four singles and a double off the wall. He also scored 5 runs. Other teammates with multiple hits included Les Zirbel 3/4, Gary (birthday boy on Wednesday) Ambruz was 3/4 as was John Hammel. Two of Hammel’s hits were clutch ones which help keep rally’s going. Subs Roger Williamson was 3/4 with a walk and home run while Matt Seeliger was 4/5. Thank you both. The Exclusively Imports team will try and even their record as they do battle against the always tough Ranalls Realty team on Thursday at 8 a.m.
Tip of the cap to Scott Kibby in the tower and Jeff Nickerson and Terry Graves for umpiring today’s contest."

Another beautiful morning at the park.  HomeSmart played a tough Exclusively Imports team.  After opening the top of the first with 5, we turned around and our defense game it all back with 5 unearned runs.  We both battled back and forth until the 6th….we put up a goose egg Eximport put up 4 in the bottom and held us to one in the open inning to win 20-19.  We had our best hitting game and after the first, played pretty good defense.  It was a fun game to play in.  Leading hitters were Eric, Glenn, and Randy with 4 hits followed by Mike and Sean with 3.  Jay, Jim, and Gary had two hits each.  Thanks to Terry and Nick for umping a flawless game and Scott handling the tower perfectly!  See you on Thursday …….

Lots of fans enjoyed the game today at the softball fields and what a game it was.  Implant Periodontics (IP) defeated the league leaders and previously undefeated Jenelle Hansen Realty team 13 - 12,  The game started slow with neither team scoring in the first.  Big Hitting Joe Stempniewski got the Implants on the board with a solo home run to lead off the second and would finish with a 3/3 day (HR, 3B, 2B) and 6 RBI’s.  The Implants took the lead with 4 in the third but the Realtors quickly took a 10 - 5 lead after 4.  The finish was special as IP scored 3 in the 5th and 5 in the top of the 6th, with the bottom of the order coming through for IP with 4 straight hits, and IP took a 13 - 12 lead.  The Realtors loaded the bases in the bottom of the 6th but Phil Murray snagged a hard line drive at third to finish off the game.  Once again a total team effort with everyone getting on base at least once with a hit or walk and nine players scoring runs.  Glenn Turner, John Holten, Tammie Songer and Lonnie Saiz all had multi hit days.  Laura Johnson had two walks and, as pitcher, notched her second win in a row.  IP is now only 1/2 game out of first.  Thank you to Ron Swanson for filling in for an injured Mike Sterricker who took a bad spill rounding third but got up and scored anyway.  Also thanks to Betty Saiz for keeping our score book.

Ex Imports Auto - 9 Catherine Barton Realty - 20

"Once again it was Exclusively Imports Auto Repair against another realtor. This time Catherine Barton’s team scored in every inning and held E.I.A.R. to three goose eggs. Combine that with 13 runners left on base and you have a 20-9 route by Barton’s. Interim manager Pete Sluys had the boys within striking distances after the first two innings as the Auto Repair guys only trailed 7-5. Unfortunately we only managed 4 runs in the final four innings as we ended our one game win streak. Contributing three hits apiece were Greg Roehm and sub Matt Seeliger while Sluys, Brian Combs. Les Zirbel, Gary Ambruz and sub Tom Gibans each chipped in with two hits. Congratulations to the Catherine Barton team on their convincing win. Hopefully the Exclusively Imports Auto Repair squad will get some clutch hitting as we enter week three of the Spring campaign. All the players are free agents after this session and combine that with a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) on the horizon it’s time to step up to the plate! Thanks to the scoreboard operator and our two umpires."

The Barton Realty Team brought out the bats Thursday, scoring in every inning and putting up three 5-spots.  They batted 30-39 for a .769 average for the day.  Leadoff JP Guzik was 5-5 with a double and 3 rbi’s.  Kirk Andes had 3 hits and 3 runs scored.  Jeff Nickerson had 3 hits a double and 3 runs scored.  Scott Kibby was 4-4 with a homer, double and 4 rbi’s.  sub Roger Williamson banged out 4 hits including 3 doubles and 4 rbi’s.  Lloyd Newlands had 4 hits and 3 runs scored.  Pitcher and sub Ted Schneider was 3-3 with 3 runs scored.  Bill Parker was a perfect 4-4.  Sub Joe Pioli had 3 sac flys and 3 rbi’s and Ray Gibson knocked in 2 rbis as well.  It was a great team win and we look forward to getting our manager Terry Graves back on Tuesday.

Homesmart Ezell - 13 Ranalls Realty - 19

Another beautiful day at the park.  HomeSmart was riding a 2 game win streak but did not make it 3, losing 19-13 to the RR crew.  We were in the game all the way but just didn’t score enough runs to pull it off.  We didn’t hit as well as during “the streak”……Jay led the way going 4-4 with a walk.  Jim W kept up his torrid pace going 3-4.  Brian P, Mike, Glenn,Gary and Randy all had 2 hits.  The RR squad had good pitching, defense, and offense….and deserved the win! Thanks to JP and Lloyd for umpiring and Les in the tower.  

A great team result today, we came out hitting today, jumping out to a 13-5 lead after 3 innings, but Homesmart made a great effort to get back into the game putting up 5 runs in the 5th inning and tightening up the game considerably. We scored 6 more runs in the last 3 innings to come away with a 19-13 win. We batted 813% today, which was great; our infield played some great defensive ball. We limited errors and had a great effort from everyone today. Our difference makers were Lisa Pelletier, hitting a nice triple in the 1st inning to get us going, scoring-wise, and Chip Stanczak hitting a 3-run homer in the 6th inning to increase our lead back to a comfortable level. Lisa and Chip also plugged up the middle, coming up with some nice defensive plays today. Everyone had at least 1 hit and Dave Fusaro led us with a 5-hit day. We thank our umpires, JP Guzik and Lloyd Newlands, as well as Les Zirbel, who handled the scoreboard duties; they all did a fine job.

Implant Periodontics - 14 Carrousel Travel - 13

Another great Field of Dreams softball game.  Everybody contributed as the Implant Periodontics (IP) had its full lineup today and defeated Carrousel Travel 14 - 13.  It was anybody’s game until the final at bat but after a loss and a tie, IP finally wins one and sent the Travelers packing with a one run loss.  IP started slow with only one run in the first on a HR by John Holten.  However in the second and third innings, IP had 12 straight hits and two sacrifices without an out (the sacrifices scoring the 4th run in each inning).  The Travelers were able to tie it up at 11 all in top of the 5th but IP finally put it away in the bottom of the 6 inning game on a hit by John Holten and double by Michael Sterricker.  Not a great defensive showing but offense was clicking on all cylinders with 26 hits on 35 at bats (734 average).  Every player had at least one hit,10 players scored at least one run and eight players had an RB.  John and Mike led the way with 4 hits each and 5 RBI’s between them.  Joe Stempniewski (3/3, 2B), Ed Campbell (3/3), and Phil Murray (2/2, sac, 3 RBI’s) were perfect at the plate and Glenn Turner (3B), Gerry Boesche (2 RBI’s), Tammie Songer, Lonnie Saiz, Laura Johnson and Deb Kanouse all had at least one hit.  Looking forward to the next game Wed against the Janelle Hansen league leaders.      

Janelle Hansen Realty - 9 Goodman Dermatology - 8

Thanks to Jocelyne for subbing, Ronnie and Ron for umpiring and scoreboard operator for scoreboarding.

WaFd Bank - 9 T Pham Dentist - 16

The 10:30 game featured the WaFd Bank up against a hard-hitting Thomas Pham Dentistry Team. As visitors, the dentist came out fast with 11 runs after 3 innings. The Bankers started slower with only 6 runs after 3. The 4th inning had TP pick up 4 and the Bankers with 3 leaving the score at 15-9. The last 2 innings in a short 6 inning game produced only 1 run which went to the winning TP Dentistry Team; final was 16-9. Well Done TP Dentistry. DDefensively, it was a tough day for the Bankers and a good day for the TP Dentistry. Alot of their hits fell in spots we were not in. Carol Cemensky had a nice catch in left field and Jim Opyd had a basket catch in left center. Charlie Greer had a big unassisted double play. Dede Gaetz had a nice pickup for an out at 2nd. Curtis Rhoades at short stop had a nice pickup of a grounder for an out at 1st. Yvonne Becker had a nice out at home. Offensively perfect at the plate were Dave Holub 4/4 triple double 2 RBIs, Barney Armstrong 2/2 walk and Carol Cemensky 1/1 2 walks. Charlie Greer was 3/4 2 doubles and Curtis Rhoades was 3/4 double and an RBI. Collecting 2 hits were Jim Opyd walk 2 RBIs. Getting on base were Bob Williams walk, Dede Gaetz and Wayne Moxley 2 RBIs. WaFd Bank would like to thank Curtis Rhoads and Carol Cemensky for subbing today and Yvonne Becker for subbing at the last minute. Thank you goes out to Marilyn Leinberger and Joan Casazza for working our scorebook. 

Today the Dentists went up against the Bankers in a time shortened game. Both teams played well but the time seemed to evaporate. We made some great plays on runners trying to get extra bases but we weren’t allowing any  of that today. Our defense was solid without any errors. Great job Team. Our hitting was lead by Phil Hughes, Sal Politi, Sue Cary and Jake Groh all perfect at the plate.  Followed by Sheldon Rosenthal, Mark Cemensky and Paul Larson all with 3 hits and Kirk King, Dick Steiman and Jack Braly all contributed a hit for the win.  A big thanks to Paul Larson for subbing today and Bob Cary for keeping the book straight, keeping the batting order moving along and helping position players. Our next game is Wed 4/22 @ 8:00. Sheldon Rosenthal has Scoreboard duty after the game.

Catherine Barton Realty - 11 Homesmart Ezell - 18
Terry’s take: The CB squad controlled the front part of the game heading into the 5th inning leading 8-5, but a tough Homesmart crew took control from then on scoring 13 runs to our 3 runs. Ouch, that even hurts just typing it out. Top hitters were Brian Walters 4-4 and Ray Gibson 3-3 and a sacrifice. Bill Parker and Scott Kibby both went 3-4. Jeff Nickerson, Roger Williamson, and John Boland each had 2 hits. JP Guzik, Kirk Andes, and Terry Graves added 1 hit apiece. Special thanks to our subs Roger and John for their efforts. Thanks to the umpires Tom Ranalls and Pete Sluys and Gary Ambruz on the scoreboard.

Another great day at the ballpark - perfect weather for the 8am start.  HomeSmart played Catherine Barton in the opener and after 2 zeros in the first two innings, the coffee kicked in and we scored 18 over the last 5 frames.  In addition, the pitching and defense turned in a great performance.  So, after an opening day loss, we have turned in two good performances in a row.  Jim Wagaman and Randy Van Wagoner led the offense with 4-4 performances.  Mike Martin and Eric Swobody has 3 each and everyone contributed at least one hit.  Thanks to Tom and Pete for umpiring and Gary A in the tower….flawless game by all three!

Ex Imports Auto - 12 Ranalls Realty - 8

If your team is not running on all cylinders, victory is that much more difficult in the Spring Copper League. Today the Exclusively Import Auto Repair team went to their sponsor for a tune up and came away with a 12-8 victory over the previously undefeated Ranalls Realty team. The game was close for the first five innings as each team failed to lap the opponent by putting up goose eggs in the second and fourth innings. Ranalls tied the game in their half of the fifth, but the mechanics plated a single run to take the slimmest of leads 7-6. Ranalls scored two in the sixth and then EIAR put up the only five run inning. And it was accomplished without registering an out. Then the Ranalls team put up their fourth goose egg of the day in the open inning. Exclusively Auto Import Repair had secured their first victory of the season. The monkey is off their backs; the pressure has been relieved and ownership has given everyone on the team a vote of confidence. The offensive stars today were Pete Sluys 3/4. Don Ranieri 2/3 and a walk, Brian Combs 3/3, all which were doubles, and Greg Roehm 3/3. The second go around of the spring session begins on Thursday as the team plays the Catherine Barton squad at 8am. Thanks to Eric Swobody and Brian Pin for umpiring and to Sean Baker on the scoreboard. Special thanks to Joe Guzzo for keeping an accurate scorebook.

This was a close game right up until the sixth inning, when Imports put up 5 runs in the bottom of the 6th, and we couldn't come up with any runs in the seventh inning. This was a tough game to lose, as we hit reasonably well (631%) and had some nice infield plays, but just couldn't come up with any big innings score-wise. Tom Ranalls, with 4 hits, led us today, and everyone else had at least 2 hits. As the old saying goes, some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue, and today we were the statue. We tip our hat to Exclusively Imports Auto Repair and hope to get back on the winning track Thursday.

Janelle Hansen Realty -10 Carrousel Travel - 9

Implant Periodontics - 10 T Pham Dentist - 13
A beautiful day for a ball game and what a good game it was.  A great start to the Grand Spring season as Implant Periodontics (IP) battled Thomas Pham Dentistry (TP) and ultimately the dentists prevailed over the Implants 13 - 10.  The dentists jumped out to a 7 - 2 lead but IP came back in the bottom of the third inning using a triple by Glenn Turner and a two run HR by John Holten to make it a one run game.  Michael Sterricker also had an extra base hit with an RBI that inning but the umpire didn’t like his “sliding  into second” and called him out.  The dentists put up a 4 spot in the top of the fourth and again the Implants answered with a 4 spot of their own in the bottom of the fifth but not quite enough to catch up as IP still trailed by 1.  The 6 inning game had some confusion on the outs and runs scored in the top of the 6th but Pham took the lead for good with two runs to seal the deal.  The Implants could not answer in the bottom of the 6th and lost the hard fought game by three.  Leading the hit parade for IP were Glenn 3/3 with a double, triple and 3 RBI’s, John 3/3 two doubles, a HR and 3 RBI’s, Gerry 3/3, Michael 2/2 with two doubles, BB and 2 RBI’s, and Joe Stempniewski 2//3, a double and 2 RBI’s.  Laura had a BB and double but got gunned down trying to stretch it into a triple because of her cheering fan base in attendance. Phil Murray had two BB’s and Deb Kanouse a BB.  Next game Wed at 10:30 and another chance to shine for IP.         
The first game with a new team can be challenging but today everything seemed to fall in place. Everyone played well and in-spite of some confusion in the 6th inning we were able to hold on for the win. Leading the offence were Ken Krzeminski, Phil Hughes and Sal Politi all perfect at the plate. Followed by Sheldon Rosenthal, Jake Groh and Kirk King who got on base 3 out of 4 times followed by Sue Cary and sub Kurt Kanouse who got on 2 times and Dick Steiman and Jack Braly who each got on once. Good job team. Our next game is Wed. 4/15 @ 9:15 again. No one has any duties that day

Goodman Dermatology - 5 WaFd Bank - 17
"The new season started a little rough for the Goodman Dermatology team as they squared off with the WaFd Bank team today. The first inning saw each team scoring the maximum four runs. WaFd Bank put up four more runs in the second inning while holding the Dermatologists scoreless. The Bankers continued to score unanswered runs in the third and fourth innings making the score 13-4 after four innings. Neither team scored in the fifth. WaFd Bank scored four in the sixth inning making it necessary for Goodman to score at least two to keep the game going. Goodman was able to score only one run and the game ended by mercy ruling 17-5.
Goodman batters were able to manage a total of 14 hits. Dorothy Mazur and sub Paul Jinneman were both perfect at the plate going 3/3. Two players had two hits and four had one hit each. Our defense was a little rough today but looking to improve.
Congratulations to WaFd Bank on the win. Thanks to Paul Jinneman, Kim McQueen, Mike Kachurak and Les Notestine for subbing today."
The Spring Season kicked off with the WaFd Bank going up against a strong looking Goodman Dermatology Team. As the visitors, the Bankers put up 4 as did the Dermatologist. Over the next 4 innings, the Bankers put up 9 runs and blanked Goodman. The Bankers added 4 more in the 6th while the Goodman Team scored 1 to give WaFd Bank a 17-5 win in 6 innings. Defensively, the game was an infield game. The outfield of Carol Cemensky, Jim Opyd, Barney Armstrong and Wayne Moxley were fielding grounders. The infield was busy. Bob Williams had a couple of nice pickups. Ron Silberman was gloving everything until a play at 2nd ended Ron's day. Charlie Greer playing Rover had to step in at Short Stop and did a great job grabbing grounders for outs. Ken Krzeminski stepped in at Rover and never missed a beat. Dede Gaetz and Dave Holub were both solid all day. The battery of Don Trenda and Wes Mason put 4 zeros on the Goodman board. Wes had a nice catch of a foul tip and Don had a couple of nice pickups for outs. Offensively perfect at the plate were Jim Opyd 3/3 walk, Ron Silberman 2/2 double 3 RBIs, Ken Krzeminski 2/2 triple RBI and Bob Williams 4/4 2 RBIs. Collecting 3 hits were Don Trenda double 2 RBIs and Barney Armstrong 3 RBIs. Charlie Greer was 2/3 with double in the park Home Run Sac Fly and 3 RBIs. Dave Holub was 2/4 with an RBI, Carol Cemensky was 2/3 double 2 RBIs and Wes Mason was 2/3. Dede Gaetz had a hit and Wayne Moxley walked twice. WaFd Bank would like to thank Carol Cemensky and Wes Mason for subbing today. Big thank you to Ken Krzeminski for coming out of the stands to sub. Marilyn Leinberger did a wonderful job on the scorebook. Thank you!

Homesmart Ezell Realty - 11 Ranalls Realty - 21
Opening day of the Spring season didn’t start how HomeSmart would have liked.  We trailed the entire game but hung close until the top of 7 - giving up 7 runs before collecting 3 outs, resulting in a flip flop.  Well, a 1-2-3 bottom of 7 was definitely not how we wanted to end game one.  It was great to be on the field with the HomeSmart squad, getting to know each other and figure out where we go from here!  Glenn, Eric, and Gary F all collected 3 hits and all contributed at least one hit.  Our outfield made some nice catches and Glenn pitched well.  We will look forward to Thursday and a bit better offensive show!
In the opener for this session, we played a strong HomeSmart team. Both teams sparred back and forth throughout the first 6 innings, and in the 7th inning, the Rannals team put up 7 runs and came away with a 21-11 win. This was a well-played game, both from an offensive and defensive side for the Rannals crew. Everyone had at least 2 hits, and we had some nice defensive plays. Hats off to the HomeSmart team for matching us throughout the game. As a team, we batted 620% for the day. Six players had 3 hits each, and everyone else had 2 hits. Thank you to Bill Tierney, who subbed for us today. Also, thanks to our umps, Bill Parker and Brian Walters, as well as Scott Kibby in the tower running the scoreboard, who did a wonderful job. We want to wish JD Dillree a very successful outcome with his surgery and hope that he is back playing soon.

Ex Import Auto Rep - 7 Catherine Barton Realty - 18
The second game of the Copper League spring session started out as a close game between the realtors of Catherine Barton taking on the team from Exclusively Imports Auto Repair. (EIAR). After two complete innings the mechanics trailed 3-2. The realtors bats came alive scoring 15 runs in the third through the sixth innings. Meanwhile the repair guys only scored 5 runs even with the flip rule allowing us to hit in the open, seventh inning. Everyone for Exclusively Imports Auto Repair had at least one hit with Brian Combs leading the way with a three hit day. Thursday, EIAR will play Homesmart Ezell Realty at 8 am as the two teams tied for second do battle at the Field of Dreams. Get there early to secure a good seat because the second game of the day features the two teams tied for first!
Terry’s take: The Catherine Barton Realtors squad came out swinging and kept the hit parade going for the whole game. Solid pitching and defense kept the Ex Imports crew in check for most of the game to seal the win. Kudos to Bill Parker at first base for snagging 5 pop-ups in the game, not sure if that’s ever happened before. Topping the hits chart were John Boland with 2 singles, a double, and a home run (great job John). Jeff Nickerson 3-3 and a sac fly,JP Guzik, Scott Kibby, Roger Williamson, Brian Walters, and Bill Parker all with 3 hits. Lloyd Newlands, Ray Gibson, and Terry Graves all with 2 hits. Great day at the plate everyone! Thanks to our subs John B and Roger W today who were a big part of our victory. Thanks to Dan N and John G handling the calls and Lisa P up in the tower.
