Angela's Kitchen - 10 Karen Olsen Realty - 5

Angela’s locked up the Championship in the Saturday Spring League with a 10-5 win over Karen Olson. Good defense and timely hitting were the keys to the win. The outfield of Danny Wood, Greg Alseitz, (sub) Mike Kachurak, and Joe Stempniewski caught almost everything. The infield led by Ken Chapman (who put on a pop fly catching clinic throughout the game), Marty Jiminez, Chip Stanczak, Eric Coudret, and (sub) Curtis Rhoades played another superb defensive game. Angela’s Hitting: Greg Alseitz 3-3 (2 2B/3B/rbi), Ken Chapman 2-2 with a sac fly (2B/3B/3rbi), Danny Wood 2-3 (rbi), Sub Mike Kachurak 2-3, Sub Curtis Rhoades 2-3 (rbi), Marty Jiminez 2-3 (rbi), Chip Stanczak 1-3, Eric Coudret 1-3 (rbi), Greg Church 1-3 (2rbi) and Joe Stempniewski 1-3.

It was a good morning for Senior Softball with a good result, unfortunately for the wrong team Angela's. Congratulations to the Angela's team for a season well played and a Championship of the Spring League. The offense for the K/O Realtors was not enough to get the job done. The Realtors had chances but could not get the big hit when needed. Tom Ranalls lead what offense there was going 2-2 with a walk, while Joe Eschenbrenner and sub Larry Radant were both 2-3. Thanks to Larry Radant for subbing. Also a big thanks to Eileen for her big assistance in keeping the scorebook. It was a good season for the K/O Realtors, but we came up short in the final game. The good thing is there are more Senior Softball games to be played in the next season.

A fun Game and an end to the session.  Many Thanks to Russ and Eileen.   Game Day played a good game, but couldn't keep up with a strong hitting Thomas Pham team.  John Bertholdy, Dan Newman, John Hammel and Glen Turner had a good day at the plate.  Game Day had a great team even with a couple low T days in the middle of season.  For the season. Paul Becker, John Bertholdy, Dan Newman and Glenn Turner all hit over 700.  The team on base average was 551 and plus slugging was 709.  Thanks to a great team that made it an enjoyable session. 

Shannon Bizsantz Realty - 12 BackBone Chiropractic - 4

Shannon Biszantz again faced Backbone for the final game of the spring Saturday season. The Shannon Biszantz team played its best game and won 12-4, earning a fourth-place finish. Jay Schirpke had a scorching hot bat and was 3-3 with 2 HR’s, a double and a team high 4 RBI’s. Wayne Weidenbach also achieved perfection as he was 3-3 with a double. Mike Kachurak was 3-3 with 2 RBI’s. Thanks to John Nicodemo, Dorothy Mazur and Marty Jiminez for substituting. As the season has now ended, Team Manager, Greg Roehm, would like to thank the following: Commissioner, Russ Figueroa for his leadership, Eileen Figueroa for keeping the hitting statistics, Ray Gibson for being at every game and coaching base runners despite his injury, and sponsor, Shannon Biszantz.

The game started with bright sunlight and a warm day and the Backbone team bats came out hot and took a 3-2 lead after the first inning.   The problem was they had to play the other 6 innings.  The team just could not mount any additional rallies.  They hit the ball hard but a lot of line drives and fly balls that found gloves did them.  Give credit to Biszantz pitching and fielding.   Offensively 6 players had two hits each – Les Zirbel, Joel Breiner, Chris Espejo, David Power (sub), Ron Swanson (had the teams only extra base hit) and Ken Kessler (sub).  Getting a hit each were Eric Coudret (sub), Ed Deussen and Ed Hart.  Thank you to the subs (Eric, David and Ken).   Thank you to the umpires Danny Wood, Michael Dakak, Jerry Eastham up in the tower and Eileen Figueroa keeping the book.  Backbone finished the Spring session at 1-5 but played hard but just didn’t get the results they were looking for.   Thank you to the entire team for making it a fun season.
