Copper Division

Wheeler-Riley Realty - 19 Carrousel Travel - 8

What a decisive victory for Char Wheeler in their first game of the Copper session! They powered their way to a commanding 19-8 win over Carrousel in what can only be described as a high-scoring affair. From the first pitch, Char Wheeler seemed to have Carrousel on their heels, consistently putting runners on base and driving them in with authority. The offensive firepower of Char Wheeler was truly something to behold. They showcased a potent combination of timely hitting, smart base running, and perhaps even a few well-placed extra-base hits that kept the scoreboard ticking in their favor. Every inning seemed to bring more runs for Char Wheeler, putting increasing pressure on the Carrousel pitching and defense. While Carrousel managed to put eight runs on the board themselves, it simply wasn't enough to keep pace with the offensive onslaught from Char Wheeler. They likely had moments of strong hitting and capitalized on opportunities, but the sheer volume of runs from their opponents proved to be too much to overcome. This game undoubtedly highlighted the offensive capabilities of Char Wheeler. They demonstrated an ability to consistently generate runs and maintain pressure throughout the contest. For Carrousel, this game will likely serve as a reminder of the importance of strong pitching and tight defense when facing a hot-hitting team. Ultimately, the final score of 19-8 tells the story of a dominant performance by Char Wheeler. Congratulations to them on a well-earned victory!

The Carrousel bats took a hiatus today and could only muster a .459 on base average and 8 runs. Congratulations Char Wheeler to a well played game. Thank you to Ken Silva for stepping up to sub for us today. Thank you Mark Jessen for manning the score tower and Dave Zuker and Wayne Weidenbach for umpiring. Also a HUGE THANKS to all the players who displayed their purple support in their garb and painted purple finger nails in support of Linda and Craig Nelson!

General Exterminating - 24 Homesmart Realty - 14

Well a new season started at the "Field of Dreams" today and what a pair of games General Exterminators and Homesmart had. Both teams through the 5th inning either scored 0 or 5 each inning for a 15 to 10 lead for Gen'l Exterminators at that point. Homesmart scored 4 in the 6th with Genex's 1 to bring the score closer. But the bats came back to life in the unlimited 7th inning where Genex scored 8 in the top half and they didn't score any in their half. A real hitters dual! The Genex 10 batted .729 for this game, 35 hits on 48 at-bats and scored 24 runs. Leading hitters were Greg Allseitz (5/5, 3 runs) and Kenny Shick (4/4, 4 runs). Others gathering 4 hits were Mike Hirsch (4/5, 3 runs), David Zucker (4/5, 3 runs) and Wayne Weidenbach (4/5, 2 runs). Everyone else had 3 hits for a well contributed game. Also to show support for the Nelson's and their fight, thumbs were painted purple and pictures taken. We are all here to support them!

HomeSmart started out the spring session on a bit of a tough note! The defense was pretty solid until the open frame but the offense didn’t follow suit, tallying 14 runs over 7 innings while giving up 24 - 8 in the final frame. Jeff, Frank, and John N led team with three hits each and everyone had at least 1 hit. Thanks to Lisa, Ken, and Jeff S for subbing. Thanks to our umps John and Brian, along with Mark in the tower.
