Then in the top of the seventh with the tying Run at the plate and 2 out, Sheldon Reynolds caught a hard hit grounder up the middle and threw to second for the force to end the game. Defensively there were some good plays and some not so good and that Darn Pitcher Artie Stackpole (that would be me) walked 4 batters late in the game but managed to get through the game with the win, thanks to our offense. Everyone on the team got at least 1 Hit and overall there were 30 Hits. Sub. Norris Carpenter and Kirk King (in his first game back) got 4 Hits each, Carpenter had 4 Doubles (that's right I said 4 Doubles), 3 Runs Scored and 2 RBI and King a RBI.

Sheldon Rosenthal, Denise Gibala and Joe Osowiec each contributed 2 Hits, Rosenthal Run Scored and RBI, Gibala 2 Runs scored (3 if you count her running for me) and RBI, Osowiec Run Scored and RBI. It was the most complete team effort offensively that anyone could ask for. Even I got on base twice (a small miracle). a walk and a ground ball to the infield that I was sure would be an out but somehow I managed to make it to first, guessing it was misplayed.

The team had some really good hitting, getting 22 hits, but too many miscues in the field led to the loss. The team played hard, but came up short, as everyone was feeling the heat. Big hitters, getting 4 hits each were Les Zirbel (2 doubles) and Curt Rhoades. Getting 3 hits(double) was sub Barney Armstrong. Getting 2 hits each were Dave Powers, Don Trenda, Jeff Smith and Wayne Moxley (triple).
