Game Reports

Janelle Hansen Realty 15     Angelas Kitchen 3

(editor side note:  score may not be exactly accurate, but you get the drift)

Pauls take: Janelle Hanson got a nice win over Angela's Kitchen with good offense and defense throughout the entire line-up. The offense was led by Joel Breiner 4/5 with another huge HR. Ralph McKeever 5/5, Lee Libera and Joe Guzzo 4/5 and Ed Hickcox 3/3. Great job by all. 

Verns take: Just for the record our play on Tuesdays is getting very old! We faced off against Paul’s Janelle squad. It was close after our bat in the 2 nd inning, then Janelle stepped on the gas and scored 5 in 2 and 3 to take a big 13 -3 lead. Angela’s had no answer and we went quietly into the morning Sun as we failed to score in the next 3 innings and Janelle finished a run shortened game in 5.  Thanks to our subs Brian Knight and game time injury replacement Scott Kibby, we appreciate your efforts. Thanks to Jeff N , Pete S for umping and Craig N in the tower as he took Scott’s place. I would mention our key hitting stars but there were none!  We did improve our run production from last Tuesday by 50% up to 3 from 2!  Congrats to Paul and his Janelle Hansen squad, they had some key hits and defence to hold us at bay.  Let’s get it together for the last game on Thursday and see what we can produce !

Camino del sol Chapel   11     Implant Periodontics 4

Jamies take: Camino Del Sol Chapel played a strong defensive game this morning, defeating Thomas Pham 11-4. The Orange outfield of Sluys, Fusaro, Wagaman and Wong hauled in everything that Kibby's squad hit, making several outstanding catches to limit them to 4 runs. A couple key double plays by mid-infielders, MacQueen and Blevins also loomed large in our victory. Ted was once again very consistent on the mound, as usual. Pete S had 4 hits and 3 RBI's, 3 hits each by Dave F, Troy (and a dinger), Dave H and Jamie. Super sub, Judd Pape had 2 hits, which included a blast over the LF wall. Nice shot Judd. Ed H and Joe called a good game, with Brian C in the replay booth upstairs. Thanks guys.  

Scotts take: Congrats to Jamie and Dave’s team for playing a solid game and getting the W.  For the Thomas Pham team everyone had at least 1 hit, but unfortunately the timely hit was elusive as the dentists left 11 men on base in the 7 inning game.  Leading hitters were Jeff Nickerson 3-4, a double and 3 RBI’s (of the 4), Scott Kibby 3-4 with a double.  2 hits for sub Doug Miller, Jim McDonald and Eric Shouse.  Brian Pin was on twice with a hit and a walk.  Getting 1 hit were Ron Coleman, Dave Archer, Dave Elkins and Randy Cihlar.  Thanks for Ed and Joe for umping and Brian on the scoreboard.  TP Dentists are back in action with the first game of the afternoon session on Thursday and we look forward to playing the great game of senior softball.

Implant Periodontics 18   Ranalls Realty 16

Jerrys take (yawn):     In game where the score was close throughout, Implant Periodontics came away with the victory 18 to 16 over Ranalls Realty. Implant jumped out to a 5 to 2 lead after the first. Both teams scored 2 in the second. In the third things changed as Implant failed to score while Ranalls scored 3 to tie the score. In the fourth inning Implant scored 4 runs, but Ranalls just kept hitting and scored 5 in the bottom of the inning to take a 1 run lead. It remained a 1 run game through the sixth inning with Ranalls leading 16 to 15. Implant was finally able to take the lead in the seventh by scoring 3 runs in the top of the inning and held Ranalls scoreless. The key to Implant’s victory was scoring 5 runs in the first inning and 4 runs in the sixth inning after two outs had been recorded. The bad news for Implant was that Chip Robertson was injured attempting to run down a fly ball early in the game. Early reports indicate Chip will unfortunately be on injured reserve list for the remainder of the session. We hope that Chip makes a quick and full recovery. The leading hitters for Implant were Dale Halder who went 5 for 5, Doug Miller who went 4 for 5 with a home run a triple and 2 doubles, and Les Zirbel who went 3 for 4 with 5 RBI’s.  Matt Seeliger returned from the IR list and went 3 for 5 including a home run and 5 RBI’s. Thanks to Troy MacQueen who filled in after Chip Robertson’s injury, substitutes Doug Miller and Pete Sluys. Thanks to plate umpire Jamie White and base umpire Troy MacQueen Craig Nelson. Thanks also to scoreboard operator Dave Archer.

Erics take: Another gorgeous day at the ballpark. Ranalls Reality lost a tight game against a tough Implant team 18-16. Ranalls Reality ended up with 25 hits on their 16 runs. Lloyd Newlands, Don Ranieri and Mike Martin (HR) were 4-4. With three hits each Pete Semenak, Tom Ranalls and Brian Combs
