| Backbone: After clinching the White League Championship on Tuesday, BackBone Chiropractic closed out the season by winning by a final score of 12-4 over Homesmart to finish with a 14-4 won-loss record. Every player had at least one hit en route to the win. More remarkable, the defense with no player except Randy Biko and Dennis Vance at a position played during the season, was at its best. Patrick Hansen made two catches in deep right center and also threw a runner out at first base. Greg Martin made several nice plays at 3rd base. Richard Szymesko caught every ball hit to the Rover position and also threw a runner at 1st base from short center. Offensively, the team leaders with 2 RBi each were catcher Chip Stanczak 3 for 3 with a triple; left center fielder Tim Schiewe 3 for 4 with a double; Tom Gruzs 2 for 3; and Greg Martin 2 for 3. Winning pitcher Randy Biko 2 for 3 with a walk, shortstop Frank Sandomenico with a hit, second baseman Ken Krzeminski with a hit, and left fielder Jim Opyd with a hit each plated a run. Dennis Vance went 3 for 4 with a double on the day; and Patrick finished the season 1 for 2 with a walk and 2 runs scored. | ||||||
| Homesmart: Well it was the last game of the season and unfortunately the results are the same. The Homesmart Ezell Realtors just couldn't put a complete game together and lost today by a score of 12-4. The weather was perfect the crowd was great and our opponents hit very well. The highlight of the game was relief pitcher John Recob came in and pitched a great game in relief. Although the season is over we need to thank our manager Randy VanWagner for sticking with us in the good and bad times. Thanks Randy. See you all next season. | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz 16 Susy's 4 | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz: On a cold morning for the last game of the season the hot Kraker Biszantz Realty team didn’t disappoint, keeping up the hitting and playing great defense. We scored 5 in the bottom of the 1st and never looked back. Winning pitcher Dennis Kartcher pitched a gem holding Susy’s Home Cleaning to just 4 runs in 6 innings, final score 16-4. Offensively we made use of 6 doubles and 3 triples to tally the 16 runs on 27 total hits, keeping Mike Wunsch busy at 3rd base. Leading hitters were Brian Martin 4/4(2doubles), sub Randy Van Wagner 4/4, sub Frank Carter 3/3(triple and a sac fly) in his first game at Grand(Welcome aboard Frank!), Glenn Griffin 3/4 (double), David Power 3/4(triple), Jay Corbett 3/4(double), Brian Pin 2/4(double), Gary Armstrong 2/3 with a walk, Tim Brown 2/3(triple) and Dave Dompier added a double. Thanks to subs Randy Van Wagner and Frank Carter. It was a great season, lots of fun, and once we got going, we were hard to beat down the stretch winning 8 out of our last 10 ballgames. Hats off to every team in the league for a competitive, fun fall session. Special thanks to Commissioners Rick Armentano and Chip Stanczak for putting together a well-run White League. |
||||||
| Susy's: On a cool January morning Susy’s Home Cleaning squared off against the hot Kraker Biszantz team for their last game of the fall session. The game started poorly for the home cleaners when we failed to score in the first inning but gave up the maximum five runs to the Kraker Biszantz team. To shorten what could be a long story suffice it to say things didn’t improve for Susy’s as they were outscored in every inning. The mercy game ended after six innings with the score 16-4 in favor of the Kraker Biszantz team. Congratulations to the team and managers on the win. Susy’s just couldn’t get their bats working although a number of well hit balls went straight to defender gloves. Although it seemed we couldn’t catch a break the team fought hard all the way to the final out. Thanks to Roger Gabbart for subbing for us. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator. Thanks to Jeff and Cathy for coaching and keeping the scorebook. |

| Dynamic 11 TP Dentist 3 | ||||||
| Dynamic: And that’s a wrap! We started the season going 3 - 1 in the first 4 games. And, we finish the season going 3 - 1 the last 4 games. The problem was going 0 - 9 - 1 in the middle 10 games! During that 10 game span we had a tie, two 1 run losses, one 2 run loss, and one 3 run loss.All close games that with a bounce here, a seeing eye lawn dart there, could have made for a different season. In spite of the 10 game winless streak, it was sure a fun time playing together as a team. In the final Fall White League game, Dynamic Wealth beat the second place Thomas Pham Dentistry in a game that meant nothing to either team from a standings standpoint. Outside of the money managers 5 run outburst in the 3rd inning this was a pretty low key affair, with neither team scoring more than 2 runs in any other frame. The final score was Dynamic Wealth 11, Thomas Pham Dentistry 3. Leading the way for Dynamic Wealth was Mark Beckner and Jeff Heary, both going 4 for 4. Mark set the table at the top of the order scoring 3 runs. And Jeff, in the run producing 3 hole, had 2 triples, a run scored, and a team leading 6 runs driven in. Nice game guys! Andy Campbell, Kevin Katsuki, Dave Swanson, and Sub Gary Armstrong were all 2 for 3. With Andy hitting a double and knocking in 2. Kevin hit a double and drove in 1 run. Dave hit a double and scored 2 runs. Bob Lessard and Jon Chlebeck each had 2 hits, with Jon scoring a run with 1 RBI. And Bob scored 2 runs with 1 run driven in. Sub Gary Armstrong pitched well and kept the Dentists at bay all game. It was an all around team win! Thanks to Becky Holliday for keeping the scorebook while nursing her injury. And thanks to Gary Armstrong for subbing for us! We hit the reset button and start the Winter season next week with a new team. It's been a blast! Thanks guys for a fun season! | ||||||
| TP Dentist: Dynamic Wealth played good defense behind the pitching of Gary Armstrong as our Pham Dentist team could only muster 9 hits in an 11-3 loss. Wayne pitched well for us and he deserved a better fate. Paul Larson (3-3) and Dave Nathe (2-3, 2B) had more than half of the Pham hits with the former having 2 doubles. On defense Kim was busy as she had a part of 10 outs from her second base position. Our Pham team had a good season finishing 11-6-1. Thanks to Kris for keeping a neat and accurate book all season. |

We fell behind in the first inning but added runs in the second, third and 5th to go ahead 8-2. Dynamic scored 5 in the bottom of the 5th to pull close, but a 5 run 6th for our side put us ahead for good, with the final being 14-7.

| Dynamic: This was a tight game until Kracker-Biszantz put up back to back 5 spots in the 5th and 6th innings while limiting the money managers to its only 5 run outburst in the bottom of 5th inning.

| Susy's 12 Homesmart 9 | ||||||
| Susy's: Another perfect day for softball. Susy’s Home Cleaning hosted the Homesmart eleven for an early afternoon contest. Homesmart quickly scored two runs in the first inning only to have Susy’s answering with five runs in the bottom of the inning. Good defense by Susy’s held Homesmart scoreless for the next three innings while scoring two runs themselves in the second and fourth innings. With the score 9-2 going into the fifth inning Homesmart came alive pushing five runs across the plate while holding Susy’s scoreless. Suddenly a comfortable lead evaporated and the score was 9-7. Susy’s was able to blank Homesmart in the sixth inning while adding three runs to their tally….12-7. Homesmart added two runs in the top half of the seventh but a great double play ended the game giving Susy’s the 12-9 win. Susy’s found their bats today pounding out 24 hits with everyone getting in on the action. RBI’s were distributed among eight players. This was the first time since the second game of the season that Susy’s fielded their original team and everyone contributed to the win. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator for your under appreciated work. Thanks to Jeff and Cathy for coaching and keeping the scorebook. |
||||||
| Homesmart: Another beautiful day but the Homesmart gloves were not up to speed. Jumping off to an early lead the Realtors couldn't hold on as Susy's pulled away. The team produced 19 hits but only 9 runs. John Gavazza was the hitting star for the Homesmart Ezell Realtors, going 4 for 4 with a triple. Congratulations to a good Susy's team for a good victory.

| Backbone: BackBone Chiropractic emerged with a 4-1 win over Susy's Home Cleaning in a well-played pitcher's battle.

BackBone was led byTim Schiewe 1 for 2 with a walk and 2 RBI, Frank Sandomenico with a hit and RBI, and Greg Martin with 2 hits and a RBI. Combined with TPham's loss to Kraker-Biszantz (the same team that knocked BackBone out of 1st place) in a later game, BackBone moved a half game ahead of TPham in the battle for 1st place.Larry Radant held the team to only 10 its in this low scoring affair; Patrick Hansen was the winning pitcher only allowing a single 3rd inning run. Next tuesday BackBone faces off against TPham. | ||||||
| Susy's: Another crisp early morning at the Field of Dreams found Susy’s Home Cleaning hosting the ever-tough Backbone Chiropractic team. In what proved to be a defensive battle Backbone outscored Susy’s to win 4-1. Neither team scored in the first two innings, then each team scored a run in the third inning to keep the score tied going to the fourth. Backbone scored a run in the fourth and two more in the sixth while Susy’s was unable to score. Congratulations to Backbone Chiropractic on the win. Susy’s played well in the field but just couldn’t generate enough hits to put numbers on the board. Our defense kept us in the game until the very end. Thanks to Mike Hefty for subbing for us today. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator and thanks Cathy for keeping the books. |

| Dynamic Wealth 21 Homesmart 15 | ||||||
| Dynamic Wealth: Dynamic Wealth brought their bats to the Field of Dreams today! Everybody in the lineup had either an RBI, or a run scored. Most had a little of each. The money managers were patient at the plate today taking 5 bases on balls. Plate discipline generally leads to runs scored. Jeff Heary took one deep and over the fence for a 2 run homer in the 3rd inning! The team scored the 5 run inning max 3 times, including three innings in a row, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings. And, when it was needed the most, 5 runs were plated, with 2 outs, in the 7th and final inning. Talk about clutch hitting! The defense was for the most part pretty solid. Kevin Katsuki made a great running catch in left field in the 6th inning. The offense was led by Kevin Katsuki and Mark Beckner, both perfect at the plate. Kevin was 4 for 4 with a clutch double in the 7th, 3 runs scored and 2 knocked in. Mark was 3 for 3 with a double, 3 runs scored, 2 RBI, and 2 walks. Bob Lessard was 4 for 5, had a double, 2 runs scored, and 4 big RBIs. Jeff Heary, Becky Holliday and sub John Bertholdy were all 3 for 4. With Jeff hitting a double, and the already mentioned 2 run HR, he scored twice, and knocked in 3. Becky Holliday scored 3 times, and had 2 RBI. John had 2 runs scored, and 2 RBI. A really nice job by the bottom of the order getting on base! The trio of Swanson - Holliday - Bertholdy were on base in 8 of 11 at bats, and scored 7 runs in turning over to the top of lineup, who in turn did their job knocking them in! This was a nice all around team win! Lots of dark diamonds on the scorebook. The pencil will need to be sharpened for next Tuesday's game! Thanks to John Bertholdy for subbing! Thanks to Dave Nathe for keeping the scorebook. |
||||||
| Homesmart: Another day and another loss. Wise I could say another win but we didn't play well enough to get a victory. We actually lead 6-5 after 2 innings but then our bats failed us and the Wealth Management guys got rolling. Most of the time our defense was good except the middle innings when we couldn't keep the ball in the gloves. Hitting stars today were Randy VanWagner, John Gavazza and Dave Anthony each with 4 hits. Over all we had 27 hits but left too many runners stranded. Thanks to Greg Carley and Mlke Dakak for subbing. Looking forward to next week to start a new winning streak. | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz 13 TP Dentist 8 | ||||||
| Kraker: Great game today by Kraker Biszantz Realty. We took on the tough first place team, Rod Wilterdink’s TP Dentist in an exciting game that didn’t start well with the Dentists scoring 5 in the top of the first inning. We got a couple in the bottom of the first and then tied them in the second inning. After Three we were down 2, then held them scoreless the rest of the game on outstanding defense and great pitching by Dennis Kartcher while scoring a big 4 run 6th inning for a final score of 13-8. Timely hits, great defensive catches and double plays contributed to this win. This team is really playing well right now as a unit. Leading hitters keeping Mike Wunsch busy at third base were Glenn Griffin 4/4 with a highlight reel catch in short left field from shortstop, sub Mitch Craun 4/4, Brian Pin(double), Allen Bellew(double)and Jay Corbett all 3/4 . Tim Brown was 2/3(double) and Dave Dompier 2/4 also with a double. Thanks to umpires Curtis Rhoades and Jim Courtney, and Eve Burnett in the tower (flawless job up there)! |
||||||
| TP Dentist: Our Thomas Pham Dentistry team battled the Kraker Biszantz squad with the home team Kraker walking off with a 13-8 win. We started out with bats a blazin" as our first 8 batters got a hit to give us a 5-0 advantage, but Kraker pitcher Dennis Karcher held us in check the rest of the way. Our defense was pretty decent, but Kraker hit the ball well while our offense fizzled in the later innings. Kim had just an excellent game at 3B and Wayne made a running catch in the gap to highlight the defense, On the offensive side of the ball, Jeff Tucker(2RBI) and Paul Larson led the way with 3 hits in 3 at bats. Ron MIchalski, Wayne W, Tom Gibans, and Ray Ray made just a single out, Tuesday, we play the tough Backbone outfit with first place on the line. Nice job of umping today by Curtis Rhoades and Jim Courtney. |

Last game's hero, Wayne, was 3 for 3 while Todd F, Dean, and sub Jay Corbett made only a single out. Kim continued to hit the ball well and made a clean pick of a one hop throw to home to cut a Homesmart rally short. Bud(3 RBI) had a busy and successful day at SS, while fellow middle infielders Ray Ray and Jay also did a good job of clogging up the middle. Gibans recorded an out on a missile up the middle and Rod made a couple nice plays at 1B. Coach Ted got the defense in the right place and Kris did her usual great job on the scorebook. | ||||||
| Homesmart: Another beautiful day to play softball. The Homesmart Ezell realtors came out swinging jumping off to a 6 - 0 lead.

| Susy's: On a perfectly “Grand” day the Susy’s Home Cleaning team met the Dynamic Wealth Management team at the Field of Dreams for a hard fought, high scoring game. Susy’s, as the visiting team scored three runs in the top half of the first inning but allowed the Dynamic team four runs in the bottom half. Susy’s could only muster one run in the second while Dynamic scored five. Susy’s was unable to score in the third inning but allowed Dynamic five runs. Susy’s found themselves on the bottom end of a 14-4 score going into the fourth inning. Susy’s bats came alive for seven hits scoring five runs while holding Dynamic to three runs in the fourth, then scoring four more in the fifth inning while blanking Dynamic. The scoring gap was closing but the Susy’s team could score only one run in the sixth which wasn’t enough to overcome the run deficit created in the early innings. Congratulations to the Dynamic Wealth team on winning the time-shortened game. Susy’s banged out 26 hits today and scored 14 runs which would be good enough to win quite a few games, however the Dynamic team hit the ball hard and often scoring 17 runs. Thanks to Mike Hefty for subbing for us today. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator. Thanks also to Jeff and Cathy for their assistance with coaching and keeping the books. |

| Kraker Biszantz: A crisp morning game didn’t cool down Kraker Biszantz Realty’s defense as we held off a good HomeSmart team by a final score of 8-5. Several great plays capped by a game ending double play made the difference. Our bats were a bit cooler, but we came thru with clutch hits at the right time led by Gary Armstrong 3/3, Brian Pin and Allen Bellew(double) 3/4, and Jay Corbett 2/3. Great help by both our subs Todd Page and Mark Beckner helped lead to the victory. Thanks to umpires Kenny K and Richard Szymesko and Patrick Hansen in the tower. | ||||||
| Homesmart: Well I wish I could write something different but we lost again. We played great last week but this week we came up a little short. Producing 5 runs on 15 hits was not enough to beat the Kracker Realtors. Seems like everytime we'd hit the ball hard it would be right at a defender and the Kracker guys didn't drop the ball. The offense today was lead by John Recob, John Hammel, Patrick Burnett, Dave Anthony, Dale McLaughlin, Chuck Frazier and super sub Greg Carley each getting 2 hits. Looking forward to next week when we'll try again | ||||||
| TP Pham 11 Susy's 10 | ||||||
| TP Pham: Falling behind 10-0 is not a recipe for success, but we managed to pull a rabbit out of our hat using a 7 run bottom of the 7th to come away with an 11-10 win over the always tough Suzys' squad. The visitors came out with bats a blazing hitting us with two five spots and a 10-0 lead. Meanwhile, nothing was going right for us including 3 DP's turned by the Suzy defense, but Pitcher Wayne Weidenbach and the defense held the viators scoreless the last five innings to give us a chance, setting up the bottom of the 7th rally with our Pham team down 10-4. Still down 10-6 with two out, Todd Page singled, Bud followed with another single, Mitch drew a walk, Chip doubled making it 9-10. That brought Wayne to the plate with the tying run on third and the winning run on second and he hit to the gap in center scoring both runners easily. Everyone on the team contributed a hit with Jeff Tucker leading the way going 3-3. Defensively, Dean turned a running catch into a DP, Ray had a nice game up the middle, and Ron Michalski made a nice inning ending catch of a blooper. Unfortunately, he was hurt on the play. Thanks to subs Chip and Mitch for filling in. Thanks to umpires Tom Gruzs and Randy Biko for calling a good game. | ||||||
| Susy's: A beautiful day for a late morning softball game with the Susy’s Home Cleaning team taking on the #1 ranked Thomas Pham Dentistry team. The game started well for Susy’s with the maximum of five runs scored in each of the first two innings while allowing the Thomas Pham team only two runs. Neither team could score in innings three and four. The Thomas Pham team scored two more runs in the fifth inning while holding Susy’s scoreless again. Neither team scored in the sixth leaving Susy’s ahead by a score of 10-5 going into the final inning.

The back crackers exploded for 10 runs over the 4th, 5th and 6th innings, while limiting the money managers to only 4 runs across over the same stretch. There was a glimmer of hope as Dynamic Wealth finally held backbone scoreless for the first time in the game in the visitor half of the 7th.

| Kraker Biszantz: Kraker Biszantz Realty got off to a hot start today as we got 8 runs in the first two innings and never looked back, defeating Susy’s Home Cleaning 19-7 in a 5 inning game. We knew we had to keep the hitting game going against the pesky Susy’s gang after they came back on us a couple weeks ago. A great game both offensively and defensively with Dennis Karcher pitching a gem. Leading hitters keeping Mike(Wave ‘em home) Wunsch busy were Brian Pin and Rick Armentano 4/4, Brian Martin 3/3 with a double, Allen Bellew(double), Glenn Griffin, Dave Dompier, David Power all 3/4, and Gary Armstrong, Jay Corbett, and Tim Brown(double) all 2/3. A total of 30 hits was our season high. Thanks to umpires Dick Hansen and Roger Neumann and Randy Ratcliff in the tower. | ||||||
| Susy's: After a couple of cool windy days the weather turned perfect for an early afternoon softball match-up between the Kraker Biszantz Realty team and the Susy’s Home Cleaning team. The game started off with the realtors scoring three runs in the first inning and the cleaners unable to answer with any runs. Kraker Biszantz scored the maximum of five runs in the second while Susy’s got on the board with one run. The third inning saw Susy’s holding the realtors to one run while scoring five. Suddenly the game looked much better for Susy’s but the realtors scored five runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings against a single run scored by Susy’s and that was the ballgame. Congratulations to the Kraker Biszantz managers and players on a very well played game. Susy’s generally excellent defense was not up to par today and we continued to struggle at the plate. We will be back!! Special thanks to Becky Holliday for giving us three solid pitching performances, Dan Newman for filling in where needed and to Jim Opyd for subbing for us on short notice. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator. Thanks to Jeff Smith for assisting with the team and coaching third base and as always Cathy Radant for keeping the scorebook. |

| TP Pham 16 Dynamic Wealth 4 | ||||||
| TP Pham: The Thomas Pham bats were red hot delivering 26 hits in 34 at bats for a season high 764 average in a 16-4 romp over Dynamic Wealth team in 5 innings. It was the first game that we had our full roster(counting long term subs) the entire season, and they cliqued beautifully on both sides of the ball. Tom Gibans pitched very well with the help of the defense, a defense that turned 2 DP's, and had an outfield assist by Dean.. All 11 Pham batters had a hit their first time. The bottom 4 in the order were 14-16 scoring 8 times in the process. That group includes Todd Fletcher 3-3(2B), Paul Larson 3-3, Kim contributed 3 line drives and 3 big RBI, Gibans helped his cause going 2-3.

| Homesmart: On a rainy Thursday morning two hungry teams squared off. Evidently the rain slowed everything down because a total of 7 runs were scored by the two teams combined. For the Homesmart Ezell Realtors the gloves were hot and the throwing was strong but the bats needed a little work. Scoring only 4 runs on 9 hits in the shortened 6 inning game, but it proved to be enough to survive a never quit Susys team 4 to 3. The big hit of the game came in the first inning when Dave Anthony laced a line shot to the wall with the bases loaded scoring 3 runs. The rest of the game featured outstanding defensive plays by Dick Hansen, John Hammel, Randy Ratcliff and a great catch by Mitch "I love snow cones" Craun. A big thanks to Mike Dakak for subbing today. | ||||||
| Susy's: On a cool Thursday morning Susy’s Home Cleaning squared off with Homesmart Ezell in a six inning game. Susy’s, as the visiting team, scored two runs in the top half of the first only to be answered by Homesmart’s three runs. Susy’s scored a run in the second to tie the score. Homesmart then scored a run in the third to go ahead by one run. Neither team could score for the remainder of the game. Congratulations to Randy Van Wagner and his Homesmart Ezell team on the win. Susy’s played a solid game defensively but just couldn’t get the bats going. Overall, a good team effort but we fell short of the goal. Special thanks to our subs Dave Swanson and Becky Holliday. Thanks to the umpiring crew and scoreboard operator. Thanks to Jeff Smith for coaching third base and to Cathy for keeping the scorebook. |
||||||
| Kraker Biszantz 10 Dynamic Wealth 8 | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz: In probably the coldest, dampest morning of the season Kraker Biszantz Realty managed 10 runs on only 18 hits to best Dynamic Wealth Management by a 2 run margin. Leading hitters were Glenn Griffin and Dennis Karcher 3/3, Brian Pin 2/3 with a double, Allen Bellew and Dave Dompier both 2/3. Everyone had at least one hit, including a big double by Brian Martin and several great plays on defense contributed to the win in the shortened 6 inning game. Thanks to sub Jeff (yes he got dirty again)Tucker, the umpires, and Ted Grove in the tower who must have been freezing up there. | ||||||
| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth lost another close one today. In a preset shortened 6 inning game, the money managers plated 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th, going up 8 to 6. Only to watch a very resilient Kraker Biszantz squad score 4 runs of their own in the bottom of the 5th to take a 10 - 8 lead. Dynamic Wealth had the bases loaded with 2 outs in the top of the 6th, but came up short scoring any runs. Final score, Kraker Biszantz Realty 10, Dynamic Wealth Management 8. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Sean Baker and Dave Swanson, both perfect at the plate. Sean was 2 for 2 with a walk, 1 run scored, and 1 RBI. Dave was 3 for 3 with a run scored. Jeff Heary, Andy Campbell, and Don Cole were all 2 for 3. Jeff had a triple, 1 run scored, and 3 runs driven in. Andy scored a run, and Don added 2 RBI.

||||||
| Backbone 10 TP Dentist 8 | ||||||
| Backbone: With the rain coming, all games were limited to 6 innings today. That turned out to be a good thing as BackBone carried a 10-2 lead into the top of the 6th inning and had to hold on for a 10-8 victory over 1st place TPham. BackBone was led by Dennis Vance 2 for 3 with 3 RBI. Ken Krzeminski was 2 for 2 and drove in 2 runs. Chip Stanczak 2 for 3 with a triple, Randy Biko with what proved to be the game winning hit, Frank Sandomenico 2 for 3 with 2 doubles, Richard Szymesko with a perfect 3 for 3 day, and Greg Martin with a hit each plated a run. Tim Schiewe went 2 for 3 on the day to continue as team leader in batting average and hits. Patrick Hansen 1 for 2 with a walk picked up his first win as a pitcher. | ||||||
| TP Dentist: In a game shortened to 6 innings due to the weather forecast, our Thomas Pham Dentistry dropped a10-8 decision to the tough Backbone Chiropractic squad. With the game starting 30 minutes before the original starting time, we started shorthanded due to a miscommunication. Once it started, it was all Backbone as they played solid defense and had enough hitting to put us away. We didn't go down without a fight, however. Being down 10-2 going into the sixth inning we put up a six run effort in the open inning. Jeff Tucker was our hitting star with 4 of our 8 RBI including a bases clearing triple in the 6th. He also provided everyone with a big laugh as he crawled into third on his hands and knees on his triple. Other contributors were Tom Gibans, Ray Gibson (2B), Ron Michalski with a pair of hits while Todd Page and Dean were perfect on the day. |

| Susy's: Well, back to softball after a holiday break. Susy’s Home Cleaning took on the always tough Backbone Chiropractic team in an afternoon contest. Susy’s, as the visitors, scored two runs in the top of the first inning but Backbone answered with the maximum of five runs. Neither team could score in the second inning. Susy’s put up four runs in the third and two more in the fourth while holding Backbone scoreless. Neither team scored in the fifth. Backbone added a run in the sixth and Susy’s scored one run in the seventh to make the final score 9-6 in favor of Susy’s Home Cleaning. The win is attributed to a solid pitching performance by substitute Becky Holliday and excellent defense by the position players, particularly the middle infield. Holding the opposition to six runs was particularly satisfying considering the power hitting capability of the Backbone team. We had only fifteen hits which is a testament to the excellent defense of the Backbone team. Special thanks to substitutes Dan Newman and Becky Holliday….you are greatly appreciated. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator. Thanks to Jeff Smith for coaching third base and Cathy Radant for keeping the scorebook. |
||||||
| Backbone: For the 2nd game in a row, the storyline was the team's failure to make key plays in the field while our opponent did. Nevertheless, BackBone still had a chance to snatch a victory when the team loaded the bases in the open inning with no out. Unfortunately, the next batters went down in order 1-2-3 and the team failed to score. Richard Szymesko 2 for 4 with a double plated 2 runs. Jim Opyd 3 for 3, Greg Martin with a hit, Tom Gruzs, and sub Murray Fairweather 3 for 4 each added a RBI. Dennis Vance and Tim Schiewe also were 3 for 4 on the day. Patrick Hansen 2 for 3 made his pitching debut and pitched well enough to win | ||||||
| Homesmart 6 Dynamic 5 | ||||||
| Homesmart: On a beautiful day in Grand two good teams squared of at the sport we love. The Money guys jumped out to an early lead scoring 5 runs in the first 2 innings. The Homesmart Ezell boys never gave up and chipped away at the lead scoring 6 runs in the next 3 innings to take the lead. Great defense and pitching by Dave Anthony, the realtors shut the Dynamic bats down not allowing a run in the last 5 innings. The offense was lead by John Gavazza, John Hammel and Dave Anthony each going 3 for 3. Mitch Craun and Roger Neumann each contributed 2 hits. The new year started off strong with great expectations for a good remainder of the season. | ||||||
| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth came out of the gate hot, scoring 4 in the visitors half of the first, tacking on another run in the second. All while holding Homesmart to zeros in each of the first 2 frames, to take a 5-nothing lead. That lead vaporized over the next 2 innings, with Homesmart scoring 4 in the bottom of the 3rd, and 1 in the bottom of the 4th, making it a tie game at 5 each. Homesmart scored in the bottom of the 5th, while holding Dynamic Wealth to zeros the rest of the game. Final score, Homesmart 6, Dynamic Wealth 5. Becky Holliday again pitched her heart out and we just couldn’t muster enough run support. We played well defensively. Kevin Katsuki handled a number of tough (sun) chances in left field. And Mark Beckner making a great over the shoulder backhand on a popup to short center field, and then having the presence of mind to double the runner off of first base who thought it was a sure hit. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by leadoff man Mark Beckner, who was 4 for 4 with a run scored. Kevin Katsuki and Chuck Frazier were both 3 for 4, Kevin knocked in a run, Chuck scored a run and drove in two. Becky Holliday, Sean Baker, Andy Campbell and Bob Lessard all added two hits. Thanks to Dave Maligro for last minute subbing for us! |

| TP Dentist 8 Kraker Biszantz 7 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: After a two week break, play resumed Tuesday under beautiful Arizona blue skies at our precious Field of Dreams. The bats for both teams took a while to shake the rust off and in the end, we were able to walk off with an 8-7 win with a Dean Schoeberl outfield throw to Paul Larson for the tag and the final out preserving the win over the tough Kraker squad. The game was a defensive battle with our squad holding a 3-0 lead after four before both teams started hitting. Our big inning was the fifth where we scored the maximum 5 runs on 7 hits with Ron Michalski(2-3) capping off the inning with a bases loaded hit good for 2 of his 3 RBI's. On offense, Todd Fletcher was 2-3 and a line drive out while Todd Page and Dean were both 3-3 and scored twice. Sub Kevin Katsuki and Wayne W contributed a pair of knocks. Pitcher Tom Gibans pitched very well and contributed a double to the cause. Bud Bandfield had an excellent day at SS and contributed an RBI as did Ray at Rover. Kim had numerous putouts at 2B and had a key hit in the 5 run rally. | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz: Hoping for a win on a great softball weather day but it was not to be. We struggled to get our bats going and ended up with with 19 hits and 2 runs short of a win. Brian Pin was 2 for 4, sub Ronnie Silberman was 3 for 4 with a triple. Dave Dompier went 3 for 3 and had a great defensive game. Sub Greg Martin went 2 for 3, Gary Armstrong went 3 for 3, and Brian Martin went 2 for 3. Thanks to our subs Ronnie Silberman and Greg Martin. If the rain doesn't’ get us, we will give it another try on Thursday. |

We came right back in the bottom of the first with 5 out of the first hitters getting on including a bases loaded double by Murray Fairweather, giving us 5 of our own. The rest of the game went back and forth with several great defensive plays and a gem pitched by sub Becky Holliday, keeping the hard-hitting Backbone gang at bay for a 14-12 win.

| Backbone: The storyline for this game was the team's failure to make the plays in the field to hold the leads of 5-0 and later 12-9 as BackBone dropped the game 14-12 and fell out of 1st place. Chip Stanczak 2 for 3 with a double, losing pitcher Randy Biko 2 for 3, sub Paul Larson with run-scoring outs and Jim Opyd 2 for 3 each plated 2 runs, Tom Gruzs 2 for 4, Frank Sandomenico 3 for 3 with a double, sub Patrick Burnett 2 for 3, and Ken Krzeminski with a hit each added a RBI.

| Susy's 10 Dynamic 6 | ||||||
| Susy's: Another perfect day for softball. The Susy’s Home Cleaning team met Dave Swanson’s Dynamic Wealth Management team for what would turn out to be a defensive battle. The first inning saw the Cleaners hold the Money Managers scoreless while securing one run in the home half. The Money Managers scored two runs in the top half of the second while holding the Cleaners scoreless. Four runs were put on the board by the Dynamic crew in the top half of the third only to be answered by five runs scored by Susy’s crew making it a 6-6 game at that point. Susy’s defense played supercharged and refused to allow the Dynamic team another run for the remainder of the game while putting up four runs in the bottom of the fifth to secure the win. Susy’s had another good team effort today with everyone, including subs, contributing to the win. Our defense was nearly flawless today which makes the pitcher look and feel good. Our hitting was less than spectacular but again, everyone on the team contributed. Congratulations to the players and managers of the Dynamic Wealth Management team for a well played game. Special thanks to our subs Dave Maligro, Chip Stanczak and Mitch Craun who all made positive contributions to the team Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator, to Curt Rhoades and Jeff Smith for coaching the bases and Jim Courtney for leading the cheers.

| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth was on the short end of a 10 - 6 score at the hands of Susy’s Home Cleaning. Becky Holliday again pitched well for Dynamic Wealth and deserved better than she got. You don’t win many slow pitch softball games when you hit under .500 as a team. Today, we hit .438 as a team today. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Jeff Heary. Jeff was 3 for 3, with a run scored. Don Cole, Kevin Katsuki with Subs John Gavazza and Jeff Tucker were all 2 for 3. With Don and Jeff each knocking in a run, and John driving in 2 runs.

| TP Dentist 21 Homesmart 13 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: n the last game before Christmas break, our Thomas Pham Dentistry group eventually drilled Homesmart Excell 22-12. It was a game that started off as a slugfest with both teams hitting it all over the yard for the first couple of innings. The middle 3 innings settled down into a defensive game with good defensive plays by both teams and it was a 10-10 tie after five. At that point our offense exploded and we cruised in with a flip flop win. We had a true team effort with everyone contributing to the 34 hit attack., but Todd Page was definitely the leader going 4-4 including 2 triples and a HR with 3 RBI and 4 runs scored. Bud led off the game with a walk and added a hit. Sub, Frank S was 4-5 with 4 RBI. Paul and Mac in had 4 hits in 4 at bats with the latter having 4 RBI. Ray Ray and Wayne were dependable as always with 3 hits each including a double. Pitcher Tom Gibans helped his cause with 3 hits while sub Steve Willoughby also chipped in with 3 hits. Todd Fletcher had 2 hits including a big 6th inning double to give us the lead for good and Jeff Tucker added a pair of hits for good measure. We also had generally good defense with Frank making a running catch by the warning with his back to the plate while Mac did a nice job with the senior once hop throws at 1B. Lastly, Gibson made a couple nice plays to get us out of innings. THatnks to Kat fot filling in as scorekeeper for an early game. | ||||||
| Homesmart: TP Dentist 21 - Homesmart Ezell 13 What a game today. The Homesmart Ezell Realtors came out with bats blazing leading a very good TP Denistry team for the frist 5 innings. Unfortunately for the Realtors the Dentist's bats woke up and they scored 11 runs in the last 2 inning to pull away to a 21- 13 victory. Hitting stars for the Homesmart boys was lead by jumping John Hammel going 4 for 4 with 3 doubles and a triple. Mitch Craun continued his hot bat with 4 hits, while Paul Jinneman, John Gavazza and Dave Anthony each contributing with 3 hits. The best part of the game was that we had fun and no one was injured.

| Dynamic Wealth: We had a scare in the first inning when Rover Mark Beckner lost a high popup in the sun and took a ball off his cheekbone. Sometimes it can be tough when a teammate goes down. Mark stayed on the bench for a bit, showing his teammates he was ok. We were then able to settle down and focus. Get well quickly Mark! There's holiday celebrating to participate in! This was a really tight game. The score was 6 all after 2 innings. And 11 all after 4 innings. It was one of those kinds of games where no one could break away. Backbone added a lone run in the visiting half of the 5th. No one knew at that time that would be the last run of the game by either team. Dynamic Wealth put up zeros in the 5th, 6th and 7th innings. The final score, Backbone 12, Dynamic Wealth 11. Pitchers Randy Bilko for Backbone, and Becky Holliday for Dynamic Wealth both pitched outstanding, and both kept hitters off balance. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Jeff Heary. Jeff was 4 for 4, with a double, and a triple, a run scored, and 3 RBI. Chuck Frazier, Becky Holliday, Bob Lessard and Dave Swanson were all 2 for 3.

| TP Dentist 21 Susy's Home Cleaning 16 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: Thursday, our Thomas Pham team slugged and survived our way to a 21-16 win over a" never say die "Susys team. In a game where we had a season high hits(31-40)and runs, we had to survive a furious late rally by the home as they scored 11 unanswered runs before Jeff Tucker secured a long fly ball for the final out. We had built up a 16-5 lead after 5 innings and 21-6 after the top of the 6th. All over, right? Nope, Suzys scored 5 in the sixth and and another 6 in the 7th in a flip flop situation as they got red hot in a game where it looked like it would never end. Every one on our Pham team scored at least one run and ten players had an RBI. Tucker(3-3) led the Rbi parade with 4 while our rookie Kim Macqueen came up big time time going 3-3 with 3 RBI. The following 4 players scored 3 times-Wayne (3-3), Ray (3-4), Tom Gibans(3-4) and Tucker. Kenny K was an awesome sub going 4-4 and playing a great all around game.

| Susy's: On a perfect sunny afternoon the Susy’s Home Cleaning crew met the Thomas Pham Dentistry team for a softball contest. The dentists batted first and put up a maximum 5 runs while the cleaners were unable to score. In the second inning the dentists scored two against the cleaner’s one. The third inning saw the visitors put up four runs and the home team plating three. The fourth inning saw the dentists continuing their hitting rampage and again scoring the maximum five runs while the cleaners were unable to get anyone across the plate. At the conclusion of four innings the score was ugly with the dentists ahead 16-4. The cleaners gained one run in the fifth by holding the dentists scoreless and scoring a run. The sixth inning saw both teams scoring five runs and forcing a “flip-flop” in the seventh. Susy’s made a valiant come-back attempt scoring six runs but just couldn’t overcome the huge run deficit accrued in the first five innings. Congratulations to the Thomas Pham Dentistry players and managers on a well played game. The Susy’s Home Cleaning team had pretty even hitting across the board just not enough in the early innings. Thanks to our subs Dave Maligro, Mitch Craun and Chip Stanczak for helping us out. Thanks also to the umpires Jeff Heary and Randy Biko and Greg Martin for scoreboard duty. Thanks to Jeff Smith and Curt Rhoades for base coaching and Cathy Radant for keeping the scorebook. |

| TP Dentist 8 Dynamic Wealth 3 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: In a defensive battle, our Pham team notched an 8-3 win over a tough Dynamic Wealth team to run our record to 5-2-1. It was a 5 run fifth inning that was the difference as we broke a 3-3 tie and held them scoreless the rest of the day. Bud(3-3) led off the fifth inning with a has third hit, and after Todd(2-3), Dean(3-3), Ron(3-3), Ray(2-3), and Patrick(2-3) singled, we had a nice 8-3 lead which held up fine behind great pitching by Tom Gibans(2-3) and strong defense. Dean showed the way, defensively, with a nice catch at the warning track in the first inning and Wayne capped it off with a good catch or two late. Our rookie, Jeff Tucker played a strong 2B in his first game as long term sub. Ray Ray had a lot of action at rover and contributed nicely to the defense. On offense, Ray, Dean, and Todd each had a double. Leading in RBI's were Ron Michalski and Patrick Burnett with 3 and Dean with a pair. Thanks to our subs who all did well- Greg Carley, Richard Szymesko, and Patrick Burnett. | ||||||
| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth was up 2 to 1 after the first inning, and held that lead until the dentists plated 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th, taking a 3 -2 lead over the money managers. The money managers pushed a run across in the top of the fifth to tie the game, but that was all she wrote. Thomas Pham Dentistry scored the maximum 5 runs in the home half of the fifth to take a 8 - 3 lead. It was a lead that they would keep. As the Dynamic Wealth squad was inept at the plate, laying goose eggs in the 6th and 7th innings. We had only 15 hits, and none for extra bases. Becky Holliday pitched a nice game, holding the dentists to only 8 runs, but the money managers let down their pitcher again, showing little offensive effectiveness. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Jon Chlebeck, going 3 for 3 with an RBI. Mark Beckner was 3 for 4 with a run scored. Jeff Heary was 2 for 3 with a run knocked in. And Kevein Katsuki was 2 for 4 with a run scored, and a run driven in. Thanks to Kim MacQueen for subbing for us! |

| Dynamic: It was a tale of two halves. Dynamic Wealth Management was being beaten badly by the house cleaners 12 to 1 after three innings. The money managers scored 11 runs in the last three innings of the time shortened 6 inning game to make the game a respectable 17 -12 final. The first 2 innings, Susy’s dinked, dumped and donked hit after hit in front of the helpless Dynamics outfielders. After 2, The money managers outfielded played in for the rest of the game. Coulda, woulda, shoulda…. It was too late. Our cold bats the first three innings, coupled with our defensive faux pas in the outfield sealed our fate. We dug a hole, and we couldn't get out. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Don Cole and Sub Paul Jinneman, both perfect at the plate, each going 3 for 3. Don had 2 RBI, and Paul scored a run and drove in a run. Kevin Katsuki, Jon Chlebeck, Sean Baker and Bob Lessard were all 3 for 4. Kevin knocked in 3, and scored twice. Jon hit a triple, had 2 RBI, and scored once. Sean scored 2 runs, and knocked in 1.

| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth Management put big crooked numbers on the board in the first inning with 3, and the third inning with 5, and never looked back. Dynamic Wealth was leading after 4 innings 8 to 1, when Kraker - Biszantz had a 4 run outburst in the top of the 5th inning. This made the score 8 to 5. Tending to business, Dynamic Wealth plated 4 runs of their own in the home half of the 5th, pushing the score to 12 to 5 in favor of the money managers. Dynamic Wealth tacked on 2 insurance runs in the 6th, while holding Kraker - Biszantz scoreless the last two frames. Dynamic Wealth pitcher Becky Holliday was outstanding! Becky held the Kraker - Biszantz lineup scoreless in 5 of 7 frames. Becky pitched to her defense and had the Kraker - Biszantz hitters off balance, beating the ball on the ground to the Dynamic Wealth infield trio of 3rd baseman Sean Backer, Short Stop Andy Campbell, and Rover Mark Beckner. The outfield caught everything catchable hit their way. But today was the day for infield defense! I hate to leave 2nd baseman Don Cole out of the action, but he just wasn’t as busy on the right side as they were on the left! Although Don made a couple of nice plays himself. Dynamic Wealth Management had a solid day offensively with 25 hits as a team. Led by Jon Chlebeck and Andy Campbell, both perfect at the plate. Jon went 3 for 3, with 2 runs scored, and 3 runs driven in. Andy was 4 for 4, a run scored, and 2 driven in. Sub Frank Sandomenico, Chuck Frazier, and Kevin Katsuki were all 3 for 4. With Frank hitting 2 doubles, and scoring 4 runs. Chuck hit a double, scored 3 runs, and drove in 2 runs. Kevin scored twice and knocked in 2. With 2 hits each were winning Pitcher Becky Holliday, Bob Lessard and Sean Baker. Bob scored 2 runs, and Sean knocked in 3. Don Cole and Dave Swanson added RBI hits. It was a very well rounded team win. Everyone had a hand in the victory on both sides of the field. A big thank you to Frank Sandomenico for subbing for us today! |
||||||
| Kraker: Dynamic won this one 14-5. On a beautiful day in Surprise we struggled to get many hits. The total was 18 and not enough to win the game. Dave Dompier was 3 for 4 and a double. David Power was 3 for 4; Jay Corbett was 2 for 3; and Dennis Karcher was 3 for 3. Good hitting guys. Subs Jim Courtney was 2 for 4; Chip Stanczak was 3 for 4; and Greg Carley also had a hit. Thanks to our subs. We will be back on Tuesday and have full expectations for our first win. | ||||||
| Backbone 6 PT Pham 5 | ||||||
| Backbone: Deja Vu all over again. For the second time this week, BackBone Chiropractic escaped with a 6-5 decision over our opponent. BackBone held a 6-2 lead after five innings; but yielded 3 unanswered runs to TPham in the sixth. Nursing a one run lead in the seventh, TPham got the first base runner in. After one out, BackBone Chiropractic turned a game-ending double play. Tom Gruzs with a double, Frank Sandomenico with a double, and Patrick Hansen 2 for 2 each plated two runs. Randy Biko 2 for 3 with a run scored won the pitchers duel with strong defensive support. | ||||||
| PT Pham: On a beautiful Thursday morning, our Pham team lost a pitchers duel to Backbone Chiropractic by a 6-5 score. Ironically, in a game highlighted by good defense by both teams, most of the runs were unearned as errors opened the door. Sub, Dave Anthony pitched well for us while we could muster only 10 hits and 4 walks off of Backbone's Randy Biko. Todd Fletcher led the meager Pham offense going 2-3 and two RBI while Bud Bancroft and Anthony chipped in with a pair of hits. Ray Ray and last second sub, Ron Silberman were 1-2. Ron was filling in for Ron MIchalski who got hurt in the first inning of his season debut, Talk about a rough start! At least it turned out to be relatively minor. We have had at least 2 subs each game and that looks to continue next week, unfortunately. Pregame introductions continue. |

| Susy's 12 Homesmart 11 | ||||||
| Susy's: On a perfect morning for softball the Susy’s Home Cleaning crew showed up ready to meet the always tough Homesmart Ezell team. The first inning saw Homesmart go up 3 to 1.

| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth Management squeaked one out, beating a very good Homesmart - Paulette Ezell squad 8 - 7. It was a pitching and defense kind of game. Dynamic Wealth jumped out and had a 4 to 1 lead at the end of 4. It expanded to a 6 to 3 lead at the end of 5. Luckily we tacked on 2 additional runs in the 6th inning, because Homesmart exploded for 3 runs in the seventh. With a grounder to short stop Andy Campbell, throwing over to First baseman Chuck Frazier to record the final out to a thrilling game. We had everyone contributing defensively. We had a 3rd to home double play in the 6th, with sub Chip Stanczak snaring a grounder, tagging 3rd for 1 out, and throwing to Bob Lessard for the 2nd out at the plate. Dynamic Wealth Management was just good enough offensively to win. Led by Kevin Katsuki and Chip Stanczak, both perfect at the plate. With Kevin going 3 for 3, with a run, and Chip going 3 for 3, with 3 knocked in. Mark Beckner, Don Cole, Jon Chlebeck and Chuck Frazier were all 2 for 3. With Mark scoring a run, and knocking in one. Don scored a run. Jon scored a run, had an RBI, with a double. Chuck scored 2 runs and had 1 RBI. Bob Lessard had a double and an RBI. Tim Schiewe knocked in a run. Gary Armstrong did a great job pitching for us, subbing for Becky Holliday, who has been solid as a rock on the mound. Special things happen when you can win games like these! Thanks to Chip Stanczak, Tim Schiewe and Gary Armstrong for subbing. Thanks to Eileen Figueroa for keeping the scorebook! Thanks to Jon Chlebeck for taking over manager duties while I tended to some family stuff! |

| Homesmart: It was a beautiful in Surprise to play softball. Weather was perfect. Unfortunately the score didn't cooperate. After trailing for most of the game Homesmart produced a gallant comeback in the 7th inning. We came close but wound up 2 runs short. Defensively we had our ups and downs but our bats finally came alive. In our loss we pounded out 18 hits. Hitting stars were Captain Randy VanWagner and sub Glenn Griffin, both going 3 for 4. John Gavazza, Mitch Craun, John Recob, Randy Ratcliff and Patrick Burnett all collected 2 hits a piece. Dynamic played a solid game and we give them credit for a nice win. We're looking forward to Thursday to get back on the winning track. Thanks Glenn Griffith and Kim McQueen for subbing today. | ||||||
| Backbone 6 Susy's 5 | ||||||
| Backbone: With our sponsor David Backus in attendance, BackBone Chiropractic escaped with a 6-5 decision over Susys. BackBone held a 6-2 lead after five innings; but yielded 3 unanswered runs in the sixth. Nursing a one run lead in the seventh, Susys got the first base runner in. But for two outstanding defensive plays by Frank Sandomenico and Dennis Vance the outcome of the game might have been different. Vance 3 for 3 with 2 doubles scored 3 times and plated 2 runs. Tim Schiewe 2 for 3 also plated 2 runs, including the game winner. Richard Szymesko and sub Greg Carley each had a hit and RBI. Tom Gruzs with a double and 2 runs scored, Chip Stanczak, and Ken Krzeminski went 2 for 3 on the day. Randy Biko won the pitchers duel with strong defensive support. | ||||||
| Susy's: The Susy's Home Cleaning team met the formidable Backbone Chiropractic team on a sunny Veterans Day afternoon. Susy’s came up short in final tally, losing 5 - 6. The game proved to be a great defensive battle with Susy’s showing a very solid defense. However, Susy’s could not get the bats warmed up and mustered only 15 hits for the game due in part to a good Backbone defense. Congratulations to Backbone Chiropractic on the win today. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator today. You are always appreciated. Thanks to Sean Baker for subbing for us today, thanks to Jeff Smith for helping with the team and coaching third base and to Cathy Radant for keeping the scorebook. |

| TP Pham 14 Kraker Biszantz 14 | ||||||
| TP Pham: The game ended in a 6 inning tie, but the Kraker Realty walked off the field with smiles on their faces, while the Thomas Pham Dentistry boys were disappointed that their 12-4 lead a couple innings previous did not hold up against the suddenly hot Kraker bats. Our Pham squad bats were hot the first four innings as we jumped t0 a 12-4 lead after four innings of play. But then our bats cooled and Kraker came alive with a pair of 5 run innings to charge from behind to tie the game. Good job by the Holliday gang by never giving up. Our defense was strong early with a nice catch on the warning track by Dean Schoberl, Fred snaring a couple hard grounders, and Page with a sliding catch. Todd Fletcher again player a good game in the OF. Hats off to our subs as Randy VW played a strong IF in a 4-4, 5 RBI game while Dave Anthony went 4-4. We had some strong performances from our regulars with Todd Page 3-3 plus a walk, Dean and Bud each 3-4, and Dave Maligro 2-3. We welcome Ron Michalski to the team as he will be joining us Thursday. |
||||||
| Kraker Biszantz: Crazy game today!! Kraker Biszantz started off real slow. In the 4th inning we were behind 12-4. In the 5th something happened and we made 5 runs. Going into the 6th, we were down 12 to 9. In the 6th, TP Pham made 2 runs but we made 6 to tie the game 14 to 14. We only played 6 innings and had 19 hits. Our team made a great comeback. In his first game this season, Jay Corbett made some outstanding catches in left field. Sub Mark Beckner was 4 for 4 and a double. David Power was 2 for 3 and a walk. Sub John Chlebeck was 2 for 4 and a double. Sub Greg Carley was 3 for 4. Brian Martin was 3 for 3 and 2 rbi’s. Thanks to our subs for playing great. | ||||||

The 6th inning made the game interesting. Dynamic Wealth tacked on a single run in the top of the inning, and Susy’s then exploded for 5 runs to tie up the game at 13 apiece. It was gut check time for the money managers heading into the open inning 7th. And we hit. And we hit more. And still, more hitting took place. 14 hitters to the plate, 10 runs scored to take a 23 - 13 lead to force a flip flop. Susy’s plated a run in the home half of the 7th. Final score Dynamic Wealth Management 23, Susy’s Home Cleaning 14. We played better defensively with several above average catches and plays being made. A very good total team win! When you bang out 37 hits as a team, offensively you have a lot of leaders getting ink! Dynamic Wealth Management was led by Don Cole and Dave Swanson, both perfect at the plate. With Don going 4 for 4, 2 runs, 3 RBI, and Dave going 5 for 5, a run scored, and 3 knocked in. Jeff Heary, Bob Lessard, Mark Beckner, and Kevin Katsuki were all 4 for 5.

||||||
| Susy's: On a day of lopsided victories/losses the Susy’s Home Cleaning team could not break the pattern. In a hard fought and evenly matched game through six innings the teams were tied at 13 runs each. However, the Dynamic Wealth team exploded for ten runs in the top of the seventh causing a flip-flop situation. The “Cleaners” were able to score only one run and the game concluded. Susy’s had 25 hits with Ronnie Silberman, Brad Johnson, Jim Courtney, Bill Parker, Ted Grove and Steve Willoughby each getting three hits. Ronnie Silberman led the team with five RBIs. The remaining RBIs were pretty evenly distributed among the team. Defensively we played solid but had some missed opportunities for outs. Congratulations to Manager Dave Swanson and his team for a well played game. Thanks to Tom Gruzs and Randy Biko for umpiring and Dennis Vance for scoreboard. Thanks to Jeff Smith for coaching 3rd base and keeping the scorebook. |

| Kraker Biszantz: Well, what can we say, it was a very long morning at the ballpark for Kraker Biszantz Realty. Hat’s off to a very good Backbone Chiropractic who mercied us in 5 innings. We only garnered 5 hits and 2 runs for the entire game, with our Manager/3rd base coach Mike Wunsch being lonely at third base. The good news, it was a beautiful morning and no one got hurt! Welcome to Bob Tarr as our additional coach after having to go on Injured Reserve for knee repairs. Thanks to Ronnie Silberman and Kim MacQueen for subbing, John Gavazza and Becky Holliday for umpiring, and John Bertholdy in the tower. | ||||||
| TP Pham 12 Homesmart 0 | ||||||
| TP Pham: When you have super pitching, strong defense along with lots of line drives on offense, that's a recipe for a win and Tom Gibans pitched a great game in a rare slowpitch shutout as his curve was working to perfection in the 12-0 five inning win. His teammates give him great support with the gloves highlighted by a shoestring catch by Dean Schoberl and good play by Ray Ray on a flare and sub Rick Armentano was solid up the middle and Todd Fletcher flagged down a shot to RF. The offense certainly did its part as we scored in every inning and all players contributed a hit. We scored with lots of clutch. two out hits with several guys perfect on the day including Todd Page, Bud Banfield, Fred Jensen, Wayne W, and Paul Larson. Thanks to Koch and Koch for their important contributions. We head into week 2 at 2-0. |
||||||
| Homesmart: Well today wasn't our day. Going from a 28 hit attack on Tuesday we only managed 6 hits and 0 runs today. We had several batters hit the ball hard but unfortunately it was right at one of the defenders. Early on our defense struggled but played much better as the game continued. Best defensive play was turn in by John Hammel stopping a line shot at first base that ended the inning with minimal damage. Best part of the game is that there is always next week. Congratulation to the Thomas Pham team. . |

| Backbone Chiro: BackBone Chiropractic opened the Fall Season by besting Dynamic Wealth 12-9 in a highly entertaining game.

| Dynamic: It was a beautiful opening day at the Field of Dreams! Dynamic Wealth tried to notch a win against a very good Backbone Chiropractic squad, but it was not to be. The score was 7 to 5 heading into the third inning. Backbone added a run in their half of the 3rd, taking an 8 - 5 lead. Dynamic Wealth battled back with 2 of their own runs in the top of the 4th, and then held Backbone scoreless in the bottom of the inning, making it a 8 - 7 game going into the 5th inning.

| TP Dentist 16 Susy's Home Cleaning 14 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: Thomas Pham Dentistry rode a couple of early 5 run innings to a hard fought 16-14 win. The defense played very well in typical late afternoon sunny conditions. The dentists seemed to handle the soft infield conditions a little better. Thomas Pham was led by Bud Banfield and Tom Gibans both 4 for 4. Todd Fletcher and Fred Jensen each knocked in 3 runs. Todd Page, Fred Jensen and Paul Larson each had 3 hits. Everybody scored at least one run. Bud Banfield handled SS exceptionally well and Dean Schoeberl made a handful of difficult catches In RCF. The overall defense was good in containing a potential high scoring offense. | ||||||
| Susy's: The Susy’s Home Cleaning team took on a very good Thomas Pham Dentistry team on a sunny Arizona afternoon. Unfortunately we fell short of our goal, but played well overall. Our outfielders had some difficulty with the sun but still made some very good plays. Our infielders had to contend with a soft infield which prevented the ball from bouncing normally at times. Hats off to our opponents as they hit a lot of balls where we weren’t. On the offensive side, as a team we hit pretty well with twenty two hits but obviously needed more to win. Sub Greg Carley was our standout offensive player today as he hit for the cycle and had four RBIs. His home run was a little questionable for style but counted just the same. Big thanks for playing for us today Greg. Congratulations Thomas Pham Dentistry on a well played game. Thanks to Rick Armentano, Dick Hanson and Jay Corbett for umpiring and Tim Brown for the scoreboard. Thanks Jeff Smith for helping with the team and coaching third base. Thank you Cathy for keeping the scorebook. |

| Homesmart 13 Kraker Biszantz Realty 12 | ||||||
| Homesmart: Wow, what a game. After struggling in the first few innings and being down 9-2, the Homesmart boys put together a solid game pulling out a 13-12 victory in the bottom of the seventh inning over a very good Kraker team. Every player contributed at least one hit in the 28 hit attack. Mitch Craun and super sub Glen Griffin led the way each going 4 for 4. Close behind was John Gavazza Dave Anthony and John Bertholdy each with 3 hits. The star of the game however had to go to Patrick Burnett. With 2 out in the bottom of the seventh inning and trailing by 3 runs, Patrick smashed a line drive to left center getting by the fielder and driving in the 3 winning runs. This was a game that was decided by a team that would not give up. Way to go Homesmart. | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz: The first game of the season for Kraker Biszantz Realty was a barn burner. We led the whole game, only to come up short in the bottom of the 7th inning. The final score was 13-12. Even though it was a loss we played a great game, and knocked off some of the off season rust. Leading hitters were Dave Dompier 4/4 , Brian Pin 3/3 with a walk, Dennis Karcher 3/3, Sub Greg Dustball Martin was 3/4, Tim Brown 2/4 and Rick Armentano 2/4 with a big hit in the 6th to score 3 runs.
