WyYerd Fiber - 6 Fast Signs - 13

"WyYerd started the game with goose eggs in the first 4 innings and we were never able to recover, losing to the session champs FastSigns 13-6. While we had a couple of double plays and some good defense, the hard hitting FastSigns kept hitting the ball away from us. Offensively both SS Ken Silva and LF Danny Wood had 3 hits, both with a double, run scored and an RBI, 2 for Ken. Following with 2 hits were P Tom Gibans (RBI), 1B John Hammel, LC Chris Espejo (double), and 2B Wes Mason. Adding a hit were 3B Greg Roehm, C Ed Hart and RF sub Kat Melton (RBI). Rov Dick Steiman added an RBI. Thank you umpire crew Eddie Campbell and Arte Stackpole and birthday girl Norma Lucas in the Tower. Thank you to Christina Silva for keeping our scorebook."

"Fast Signs pulled off another win today over Wyyerd 13-6. We had a fun day letting everyone play different positions and it worked out well. Good defense (except for a Hee Haw inning of chasing the ball around). There were some good catches in the outfield, turning a double play on a relay throw to 2nd and a great throw and catch to get the runner out at home. Hitting was solid again. Jay Schirpke was 4-4 & 3 RBI's, Steve Willoughby was 4-4 & 2 RBI's, Dan Newman was 3-4 & 3 RBI's, Dave Power was 3-4 & 2 RBI's, Brad Brulotte was 3-4, and our long lost traveler Sheldon Rosenthal was 3-4, Greg Church 1-4 & 1 RBI, Jerry Eastham was 1-4, Joel Last was 1-3, and Frank Sandomenico was 2-3.

"Petelin Vision ran into a very hard hitting Ranalls Realty Team today. Petelin had the mercy rule applied to them 17-5 after 6 innings.

"

Petelin did score 4 in the third closing in on Ranalls 9-5 but after that Ranalls plated 8 Runs while keeping Petelin scoreless, thanks to some amazing defense. Right from the get go in the first inning after a base hit J.D. Dillree to Craig Nelson to Ed Calmpbell turned a double play. In the second inning Craig Warner used every single inch of his height and his arm length to snag a hard hit line drive.

Ranall's Realty - 12 Fast Signs - 13

"The most crushing defeat of the season for Ranalls Realty losing to Fast Signs 13-12 and most likely unless the sky falls, gives Fast Signs the championship. It would take not only Ranalls winning their last 3 games which is possible but also Fast Signs losing all three of their games unlikely. But I'm sure the team will take a positive attitude until it's official. The Realtors led in the game 4-1 after one inning, 8-2 after 3 innings and 12-6 after 6 innings. Then Fast Signs came alive and plated 7 Runs and then shutdown Ranalls 1-2-3 in their half of the seventh. One of those outs, the first actually was an unbelievable catch by their Left Fielder, which if he didn't catch it the tying run may well have been on third base with no outs. Our defense was good through the first six innings but if I list all the plays I may run out of space. So Right to Offense, Craig Nelson, Jeff Watson and J.D. Dillree all were 3 for 3, Nelson Grand Slam inside the park Home Run (some might say a Double with some bad throws involved), all four Runs crossed the plate including Craig who never stopped running so to me it's a Home Run. Nelson also had a Double, 3 Runs Scored and a total of 5 RBI, Watson Double and 3 Run Scored and Dillree 2 Doubles, 2 Runs Scored and 3 RBI. Dick Nunez 2 Hits and 2 RBI, Howard Sumner a Hit and Run Scored, Craig Warner Hit and RBI, Mike Ryan Hit, Walk and RBI. "

"Another exciting finish for Fast Signs in a come from behind win 13-12 in the 7th inning against a hard hitting Ranalls team. We did not have our best game today. There were some defensive plays where the ball got thrown around and our hitting was a little off but we kept charging on. As our defense tightened up, we then put up 4 in the 5th inning to set up our 7th inning. In the top 7th inning we were down 6 runs but our bats came to life scoring 7 runs to get a 1 run lead going into the bottom of the 7th. Ranalls first batter hit a hard deep fly ball to left and Dave Powers made a great game saving snow cone catch for the 1st out. Then 2 more fly balls and we had the win. Hitting Dan Newman was 3-4 & 5 RBI's, Jay Schirpke was 3-4, Frank Sandomenico was 2-2 with 2 walks, Brad Brulotte 2-4, Skip Pavitt 1-3 & 2 RBI's, Jerry Eastham 2-4, Greg Church 1-4 & 1 RBI, Mike Kachurak 2-3, and a big thanks to Jeff Smith for subbing and helping out.

Fast Signs - 9 Petelin Vision - 5

"Fast Signs came through with another victory over a tough Petelin team, 9-5. With this win, Fast Signs claimed the season championship. We had another great day of defense (except 1 inning). Brad Brulotte at SS made a diving stop and from his back made the throw to 2nd to get the out. The outfield did a great job making some good catches for outs and not letting any balls get behind them. We had some good timely hitting, even a 2 out rally. Jay Schirpke was 3-3 & a HR, Dan Newman was 2-3, Frank Sandomenico was 1-3 & 1 RBI, Brad Brulotte was 3-3 with a HR & 2 RBI's, Dave Power was 2-3 & 1 RBI, Greg Roehm, came in as a last minute sub, was 3-3, Jerry Eastham was 1-3 & 1 RBI, Larry Radant was 1-3, a welcome back to Joel Last who was 2-3 & 1 RBI. I want to express a big thank you to everyone who has helped out and subbed for us this season, We even had a joke going around that our name should be changed to Fast Subs.
"
Petelin Vision played Fast Signs and lost 9-5. Our defense has been fairly steady the last half of the season. Holding the first-place team to 9 runs gives credit to Petelin's defense.

Defensively John Boland put together a scoop and touch of second and a throw to first for a double play. Thom Yurkunas scooped one out of the dirt for the out.
