Angelas Kitchen 14  Camino Del Sol Chapel 2

Game Reports:

Johns take: Another perfect weather day at the Field of Dreams. Angela's scored regularly throughout an inning shortened game today against Camino. Angela's came away with a 14 to 2 win attributed to good pitching and good defense. Nice job Glenn Soles on a well pitched game. The infield of Jeff Nickerson, Brad Brulotte, John Boland and Greg Kastelic were making all the infield plays necessary to keep Camino at bay. The outfield of Garry Weslosky, Mike Martin, (injury sub) Greg Allseitz and Vern Mclean reeled in everything in outfield. And the battery of Glenn Soles and Les Zirbel kept their hitters off balance all game forcing a good many ground balls. Jeff Nickerson was on fire at the plate with a 4 for 4 day, 2 home runs with one of them a grand slam!  Not to be outdone Greg Kastelic was also a very nice 4 for 4 today. Greg Allseitz was pressed into service when Mike Martin pulled a muscle. Heal up Mike! Greg was a very nice 2 for 2 while Mike Martin was 1 for 2 with a double. Brad Brulotte (triple),  Brian Combs, and Les Zirbel were all 3 for 4. Garry Weslosky (double), John Boland, and Vern Mclean chipped in with 2 hits each. Really nice team win by Angela's.

Thunderbird Auto 19   Ranalls Realty 7

Robs take:    Air-tight defensive and consistent down-the-order offensive enabled the T-Birds to make quick work of our friends in blue.   JC pounded 4 hits, with hat tricks going out to Greg, Matt, Ralph, Ken, Bruce and ZZ Top.  Thank you to subs Gary Finer and the human vacuum Bob Kloehn at 1^st base.   Excellent officiating by Joel Beiner and Roger Guth.

Erics take: Ranalls Reality took a beating from a strong hitting Thunderbirds team today. Thunderbirds won in a shortened 5 inning game 19-7.  Ranalls offense scored 7 runs on 12 hits. Collecting 2 hits each: Mike Hirsch, Dave Elkins, Ted Schnieder, Tom Rinehart and John Nicodemo. In the 2nd inning John Nicodemo had a 3 run double to the right center field wall.  See everyone on Thursday afternoon.

Janelle Hansen Realty One   16        IP Periodontics 14

Jeffs take: It was a bright, sunny but cool morning as the Janelle Hansen Realty One (JHRO)team took to the Field of Dreams versus Jamie’s Implant Periodontics (IP). The JHRO team put up bookend zeros in the first and seventh inning, however from the second through the sixth we tallied 16 runs. Meanwhile, the IP team fell behind 15-9 after 5. Fortunately their two inning rally fell short as the JHRO squad held on for a 16-14 victory.  The JHRO defense had their usual steady day including a relay throw from Coleman to Calliouette to Pearson to cut off a run. Our third baseman, Joe Guzzo, stopped a hot shot at the hot corner, to start a. Inning ending double play which is always a pitchers best friend. Leading the offense today was Rick Pearson with three clutch, two out hits. Jay Schirpke was 4/5 while Ron Coleman was 3/5 including a three run home run in the fifth which proved to be the game winner. Joe Guzzo and Don Ranieri were both 2/3 with a walk. The Coach, who keeps promising us a trip to the DQ, was 3/4 and Pete Houghton chipped in with a 2/4 day.  Our game did not match last Thursdays nail bitters but it was our third win in a row. Next up before the holiday break is Camino Del Sol on Thursday at 12:15. Thanks to Randy Cihlar and Rob White for umpiring and to Ken Shick in the tower. 

Jamies take: I am writing this report as a roving reporter, 1500 miles away, in Medicine Hat. AB. Although, I did watch the entire game on our diamond webcam, so I kinda know what's going on. The marvels of modern technology. First game of the morning, Janelle Hansen Realty defeated Implant Periodontics, 16-12. Watching from afar, it was a close game all the way through, IP was only able to score 4 runs the last 3 innings, Janelle scored 8. Roger G and Joel each had 4 hits. Dave F, Scott, John B. and Jim Wagaman had 3 hits. We had 2 super subs this morning, "rookies" Judd Pape and the aforementioned, Jim Wagaman. Welcome to our league to both of you guys. And to the superb umpiring duo of Rob and Randy (what a team), and Ken S upstairs. Cheers everyone.
