Game Reports

Ranalls Realty 12    Camino Del Sol Chapel 4

Erics take: Ranalls Realty recorded a  12-4 win over Camino Del Sol this morning. It was the 1st game of the winter session, very early 8:00 start. Ranalls placed their sponsor (Tom) on the mound. Tom allowed 4 runs while striking out one. Behind Tom Brian Combs turned an amazing double play, almost got the third out for a triple play. Hitting Star of the day Lloyd Newlands 5-5. Adding 3 hits each: Pete Semenak, Don Ranieri, Dean Schoeberl, Eric Swobody and Gary Ambruz.  Thanks to our umpires Gary Weslosky and Bruce Lowe. Thanks to Dave Fleck in the tower.

Jamies take: Wakey, wakey boys, the first game in the morning now starts at 8:00 AM. Time to rub the sleep out our eyes. Well, that didn't happen so well for the newly sponsored and different jersey team, Camino Del Sol Chapel. The bad news, Ranalls Realty took us to the woodshed and gave us a thrashing,12-4. The good news, we are tied for 2nd place. Well, maybe not, one team hasn't played a game yet. We had 17 team hits, which won't win any games in our league, and 11 guys left on base. Troy, Prez Ted and Jamie each had 3 hits. We were missing a couple of our guys, (Fusaro and Sluys) floating on a boat, but had very capable super subs with Vern and Mike Fanselow. Thanks guys. We are looking to turn this ship around on Thirsty Thursday and get in the win column.

Angelas Kitchen 17  Thunderbird Auto 10

Johns take: Angela's took on a very tough Thunderbird team, grabbed an early lead and maintained a small lead throughout the game. Thunderbird pulled very close in the 6th inning at 14 to 10 with Angela's still holding a small lead. Angela's then put up 3 runs and was able to hold off Thunderbird from making a last inning charge. Special thanks to subs Dave Elkins who pitched a great game and Brian Combs who reeled in everything in right center today. The entire team played very good defense all game long. Craig Nelson was the star on offense going 5 for 5 with a critical 3 run blast in the 6th inning with 2 outs. In addition to Craig's home run, he also had a double and led the team with 5 RBI's. Gary finer (double) and John Boland (triple) had 4 hits each. Brian Combs (double), Ken Silva, Kirk Andes, and Dave Elkins had 3 hits a piece. Mike Hirsch played a stellar shortstop today and had a pair of hits. Vern Mclean (double) and Terry Graves (double) had a hit each both contributing to the RBI count. Congratulations to both Thunderbird and Angela's on a well played opening session game!

 Robs take:  Thunderbird got beat on both sides of the ball today.  We will learn and move forward. Congrats to Ralph on a strong 4 hit day at the plate.  Thanks to JD, Ron Wong and the great John Blevins for their administrative duties.

Janelle Hansen Realty 16   Periodontic Implants 0

Pauls take: Janelle Hanson started off the new season with a win over Implant Periodontics with a score of 16 to 0. All players had at least one hit but the hit of the day goes to Joel Brenier with a 3 run blast over the left field fence.  The defense was led by Lee Libera who made several good plays at 2nd base. Thanks to our subs Mike Hirsch and Pete Semenak.

Jerrys take: It was a miserable start to the winter session for the Implant Periodontics team. Paul Becker’s Janelle Hanson Realty One team embarrassed Implant Periodontics 16 to 0 in a mercy game that only lasted 5 innings. Implant Periodontics went the first two innings without a hit or a base runner and it didn’t get much better after that. The team ended up with only 5 hits for the entire game, and unfortunately, IP’s defense wasn’t much better. On the bright side, our performance probably can’t get any worse, and we look forward to the opportunity to redeem ourselves on Thursday. Congratulations to the Janelle Hanson team for their win and to Joel Briener who thoroughly baffled all of our hitters. Thanks to our substitutes Roger Guth, Craig Nelson and Jamie White. And thank you to umpires Rob White and Ralph Hollis.
