On Monday, Blue Thunder played Broward Factory Service and won decisively 20-8 in 5 innings. We were helped by Ron Swanson (3/3, 2 RBI, double, scored twice) in place of injured Karen Olsen. The offense and defense made significant contributions; 27 hits overall, scoring 4 runs in every inning; everyone in the lineup had a hit! Final score: Blue Thunder 20 – Broward 8.

Homesmart Camerons - 5 WaFd Bank - 6

HomeSmart came, we played, we lost. The score was tied 3-3 in the 3rd inning. After that WAFD took it home for a final score of 6-5. As far as multi base hits, Joe Stempniewski had a triple and Tammie Songer smacked a double. Every other player got on base with singles. Thank you to our sub Charlie Campbell playing right center. 

The 11:00 game featured the WaFd Bank against a strong Homesmart-Camerons Team. I was ready for a who scores last, wins the game, but it ended up a defensive battle. After 2 innings it was 1-1. After 4 innings it was 4-3 Bankers. The bankers blanked the visitors in the 5th and deposited 2 for the home team, giving WaFd Bank a 6-3 lead. The realtors added 1 in the 6th and 1 in the top of the 7th yet feel short by 1 run and gave the win to the Bankers. The bottom of the 6th was a crazy inning for the Bankers. This was a well-played hard-fought game by both teams. Defensively Sub Kris Koch made a great catch in deep left field and Kirk King had a big catch in Left Center. Carol Cemensky and Chris Zerr both played well and kept the ball contained. The infield had a good day starting with Pat Moriarty grabbing a few at 3rd. Don Cleveland picked off a few grounders and a pop up. Again, Ric Brucia was all over the field getting a pop up and putting together a double play. Dan Davidson had a few grounders and they know call Barney, Stretch Armstrong after the doll. The battery of Sam Bernhardt and Phil Hughes had a solid game with Phil fielding a few grounders for outs at both 2nd and 1st, one for a double play. Offensively, this was a tough game for the Bankers as we had only 14 hits. On the bright side Pat Moriarty was 3/3 with 2 RBIs and Sam Bernhardt got on base all 3 times with 3 walks (Good Eye Sam). Collecting 2 hits were Dan Davidson, Kirk King, Phil Hughes triple 2 RBIs and Carol Cemensky. Getting on base were Don Cleveland walk, Ric Brucia RBI, Chris Zerr, Kris Koch walk RBI and Barney Armstrong was 1/2 with a walk. Big thank you to Kris Koch for subbing and Joan Casazza for working our scorebook.

Carrousel Travel - 6 Game Day Health - 17

Today, I think it is fair to say we “bottomed out” as a team as it totally came apart. We had no defense and only 13 hits in 7 innings, scoring in only 2 innings. Of these 13 hits, 11 were made by the top 5 in our batting order and of our 6 runs the top 5 were responsible 5 of our 6 runs. This is a formula that must be changed if we expect to win another game. A rundown of our almost no offense is as follows: Joe Gonski 4/4 HR 3RBI. Jeff Bearth 1RBI, Tom Gobin and Bob Cary 1RBI went 2/3. Norm Volk, Kurt Kanoush 1RBI went 1/2 while Klaus Holt went 1/3. A special thanks to Tom Gobin for subbing at 3rd. Thanks Yvonne for scoreboard.

GameDay Health played a solid game against a good Carrousal Travel Team and pulled out a 17-6 win in a 6 1/2 inning game.  GameDay took the lead 5-0 thru the 2nd inning.  Carrousel scored 4 runs to 1 run for GameDay to narrow the lead to 6-4 thru the 3rd inning.  GameDay scored 11 more runs to 2 runs for Carrousel to close the game out 17-6.  GameDay’s defense played well with Jeanne Lushaw making numerous plays at 2nd base and our pitcher Joe Sowder, back from an illness, pitched a good game with 5 shutout innings.  A good team effort.  GameDay was led by Dave Holub 4x4 4 RBI’s 1 triple,  Dave Michels 3x3 1 RBI 1 bb,  Jeanne Lushaw 3x4 2 RBI’s,  sub, Murray Lushaw and Steve Coffman 3x4 1 RBI each,  Frank Preite 2x4 3 RBI’s 1 HR,  Jim Tomich 2x3     1 RBI,  Gary Kuhlman 2x4 1 RBI,  Joe Sowder 1x3 2 RBI’s,  Mike Kachurak 1x4 1 RBI,  sub, JIm Collins 1x3.  Thank you to our subs, Murray Lushaw, JIm Collins and to Joan Casazza for keeping our book.  

Karen Olsen Realty - 16 Goodman Dermatology - 17

Another beautiful day at the ballpark, we were behind the whole game and got 6 runs at the top of the 7th to take the lead by 1, but couldn't hold on and Goodman got 2 at the bottom of the 7th to win. Team batting 20/37 .540 Batting to day Greg  Szlak 4/4 Grand Slam Home Run 4 RBI's, Brian De Herrera 3/4 HR 2 RBI's, Paul Jinneman 3/4 6 RBI's, Sub John Lesh 3/4, Don Trenda 2/3, Sherry Westland 2/3, Doreen Stevenson 1/3 3 RBI's, Norma Lucas 1/3, Sub Eric Redinger 1/3 1 RBI. Thank you Marilyn for doing the book , and thanks to Subs John Lesh and Eric Redinger for filling in today.
"In a high-octane offensive showcase, Goodman Dermatology edged out Karen Olsen Real Estate in a 17-16 thriller. After established dominance in the 1st inning, the Dermatologists maintained their lead for nearly the entire contest until a massive 7th-inning surge by the Real Estate squad forced a dramatic response. The Goodman offense was relentless, banging out 33 hits in 47 at-bats, but it was the steady hand on the mound and the final-inning resilience that ultimately sealed the victory. The Final Inning Drama • The Long Lead: From the end of the 1st inning through the 6th, Goodman Dermatology held the advantage, powered by consistent extra-base hits. • Top of the 7th: Karen Olsen Real Estate staged a stunning comeback, exploding for 6 runs to take a late 16-15 lead.

• Bottom of the 7th: With the top of the order up, Goodman stayed composed. After tying the game, Murray Lushaw delivered the decisive blow—a towering hit to deep center field that drove in the winning run. Offensive & Defensive Highlights • Barry Schwartz: Provided the spark in the 3rd inning with a massive home run. • Dan Sykes: The 1st baseman added to the 3rd-inning damage with a stand-up double. • Glenn Turner: The shortstop ripped a triple (3-bagger) in the 4th inning and a double in the 6th. • Murray Lushaw: Secured the victory with his walk-off hit to center field. Key Takeaways • Pitching Excellence: Despite the high-scoring nature of the game, the pitching was exceptional today. The staff showed incredible control and composure, consistently hitting their spots and keeping the hitters off-balance through the middle frames to protect the lead. • High-Efficiency Offense: A team batting average of roughly .702 (33-for-47) ensured the pressure never let up. • Top-End Clutch: The top of the order proved their worth by immediately answering the 7th-inning rally with the 2-run walk-off.

Goodman Dermatology - 15 General Exterminating - 16

"What started as a dominant performance quickly turned into a heartbreaker, as Goodman Dermatology surrendered a commanding lead and fell to General Exterminators 16-15 in the bottom of the seventh inning. The early morning sky was sunny and warm, and the energy on the field matched the weather perfectly. Goodman Dermatology came out firing on all cylinders, posting the maximum run total in each of the first three innings while holding General Exterminators to seven runs. At the end of three innings, the score stood at 12-7, and a comfortable victory still seemed well within reach. Then the bats went cold. Goodman Dermatology was held scoreless in both the fourth and fifth innings, managing only three more runs across the final two frames of play. Meanwhile, General Exterminators found their rhythm, chipping away with three runs in each of the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings. A string of errors compounded the offensive drought, swinging the momentum entirely in the opposition’s favor and turning what had been a five-run cushion into a deficit. When the dust settled, General Exterminators had completed the improbable comeback, plating the winning run in the bottom of the seventh to take the game 16-15. Offensive Highlights: Despite the loss, there were plenty of individual bright spots at the plate. Leading the way was Murray Lushaw, who finished a perfect 3-for-3 on the day, including a double. Right alongside him was Dan Sykes, also going 3-for-3 with an impressive hitting cycle of a single, a double, and a triple — way to go, Dan! Sub Jeff Bearth had a powerful 2-for-3 outing, connecting for a home run and a double, providing some much-needed pop in the lineup. Glenn Turner was solid at 2-for-3, as was Sub Gary Christofferson who also went 2-for-3 with a double. Sub Jim Parry contributed a 2-for-3 performance as well. Ed Campbell went 2-for-4 with a double, and Jack Braly rounded things out going 1-for-2 with a walk. Ray Hensley went 1-for-3 on the day. Defensive Highlights: On the defensive side, the team turned one double play on the day — a bright spot in an otherwise difficult outing in the field. Eliminating the costly errors that opened the door for General Exterminators’ comeback will be the top priority heading into the next game. The team thanks Jeff Bearth, Jim Parry and Gary Christofferson for subbing for us today. Lastly a big thank you to Yvonne Becker for doing our scorebook.
"

Gen Ex has been struggling both offensively and defensively in the last few games, but today it all came together in a 16-15 win over a very good Goodman Dermatology team.

Bad day for Broward F.S. only 10 hits for the game. Wayne Moxley was 2-2.Bob Williams was 2-3, scored once. Sub frank Preite was 2-3, double, scored once, 1 R.B.I. Jim Parry and Ed Musgrave had an R.B.I. each. Doug Asleson scored once. Thanks to frank Preite and Phil Sargent for subbing for us today.

On a beautiful day at the ballpark the WaFd Bank Team went up against a very stout Broward FS Team. The Bankers were in for a fight as Broward had scored 23 runs in their last game. The game started slow with only 2 runs apiece after 2 innings. The Bankers deposited 4 in the 3rd and Broward picked up 1 in the 4th. Noone scored in the 5th. The Bankers put up 4 in the 6th to take a 10 -3 lead. Broward was blanked in the 7th giving WaFd Bank the win. Defensively the outfield (Ron Rogerson (3 innings) Dede Gaetz (4 innings) Kirk King, Carol Cemensky and Chris Zerr did a good job containing the outfield. Kirk King had a nice catch in Left Center. Pat Moriarity had a pickup at 3rd while Don Cleveland had multi plays at Short Stop. Ric Brucia was busy moving around to different positions and caught a pop up and was part of a double play. Dan Davidson made a couple of plays at 2nd as did Barney Armstrong at 1st. The battery of Sam Bernardt and Phil Hughes had a whale of a game. Phil not only pitched a good game but his fielding was stellar today and a big part of holding Broward to 3 runs. Offensively perfect at the plate were Don Cleveland 4/4 RBI, Phil Hughes 3/3 2 RBIs and Chris Zerr 3/3 RBI (Good Job Chris). Dan Davidson was 3/4, Pat Moriarty was 2/3 double 3 RBIs and Ric Brucia was 2/3. Kirk King was 2/4 2 RBIs and getting on base was Carol Cemensky with an RBI and Dede Gaetz. WaFd Bank would like to thank Ron Rogerson for subbing and Dede Gaetz for subbing for Ron in the 4th inning. Big thank you to Joan C for holding down the scorebook. 

Gothic Landscaping - 15 Carrousel Travel - 13

Well, we won our game Monday because we had a balanced attack between defense and timely offense. Today each of those categories fell short. Although we started off with our typical 4 runs, we could not maintain timely hitting despite having 23. Gothic kept pressing ahead and tied the game in the 5th inning. Gothic scored 4 runs in the in the 6th, and we had 2 chances to find 3 runs to win the game!!!... but we did not do it. An analysis is as follows: Joe Gonski 4/4, HR, 6RBI, going 3/4 was Sue Cary, Kurt Kanouse, 2RBI Jeff Bearth 1RBI while Bob Cary went 2/4 with 2RBI’s. Don Cleveland (sub) 3/3, 1RBI. Sal Politi went 2/3 as Dick Steiman and John Smith went 1/3 to finish our hitting attack. Hopefully we will get back to a balanced attack on Monday.

Karen Olsen Realty - 11 Homesmart Camerons - 13

A beautiful day at the Ballpark, our bats were warm but our "D" was on the cool side. It is what it is. Team Batting 23/37 .624 Paul Jinneman 4/4 2 RBI's, Greg Szlak 3/4 HR 3 RBI's, Brian De Herrera 3/4 1 RBI, Coral Estes 3/4 1 RBI, Sub Ron Swanson 2/3 2 RBI's, Don Trenda 2/3 + BB, Phil Murry 2/3 1 RBI, Sherry Westland 2/3 2 doubles 1 RBI, Doreen Stevenson 2/2 +BB Want to thank Ron Swanson for subbing and Yvonne Becker for doing the book

Steve Armstrong almost had an out of the park home run with a huge hit to the fence- woohoo! Next time just a couple of feet higher Steve lol At the plate Mike Kachurak, Bob Higgins and Joe Gonski were all 3/3. Thank you to our subs Brent Schulte, Joe Gonski and Mike Kachurak and Marilyn for scorekeeping.

FastSigns - 14 Blue Thunder - 15

"Woulda, coulda, shoulda! One of those games you play over in your mind and find four or five plays that could have changed the outcome. 29 hits was a season high for us. To only score 14 runs was an underachievement as we had three runners thrown out at home. The bright spot for team FastSigns is that we played our best game of the season against the best team. I hope our guys realize we can be competitive if we play hard and believe in each other. The entire lineup hit well today. Sub Kandi Patrick went 4/4 and Skip Pavitt, Tom Gobin, Charlie Counts, Pierre Boudreau, Paul Pearson and Ed Abrams clocked in at 3/4. Skip Pavitt was the big RBI leader with 6. Jim Mathews, Tim Mitchell and Jim Collins each contributed 2 hits while sub Annie Lowe picked up a hit and RBI. Defensively the old saying “a game of inches” came to haunt us today. Annie Lowe in left center had two fly balls that would have been caught if she was two inches taller! Great try on those two Annie! Charlie Counts had a popup go off his glove that a taller SS would have caught. KO had a three run homer for Blue Thunder that was fair by inches to send us to another loss.
All in all Tom and I are proud of our team for the effort we put out and hope we continue to play hard. Thanks to Joan Casazza for keeping our scorebook and to the umpires and scoreboard operators and Bob Cary, Jeff Smith and Mike Kachurak for helping secure the field. "

On Wednesday, Blue Thunder played host to a very good FastSigns team. The 1-run margin victory was indeed a close game to the end. Blue Thunder struck for 4 in the first inning, holding FastSigns to no runs. The second inning proved to be the reverse, FastSigns scoring its 4 runs while holding us scoreless. Both teams scored 4 in the third. FastSigns took a 2-run lead in the fourth, and Thunder struck back with 4 in the fifth, taking its own 2-run lead. Both teams scored 3 in the 6th, maintaining the 2-run margin for Blue Thunder. In the top of the seventh, Blue Thunder got the lead batter out on a line drive back to Pete. The following four batters singled, scoring a run to cut the margin to 1. The second out came on a bases-loaded pop-up to first baseman, Harold, holding the FastSigns runners at their bases. The next batter hit a pop-up that dropped right between Harold, Joe (2nd base) and the left fielder, Mike Mcginn, whose forward momentum allowed him to grab the ball on the bounce and throw a strike to Pete covering first base, to end the game! Final score: Blue Thunder 15 – FastSigns 14. Offensively, we had 19 hits in our 6 innings at-bat: Scott Boyd (3/3, 3-run HR, 4RBI); Mike Jordan (3/3, 3RBI); Joel Last (2/2); Karen Olsen (2/3, 3-run HR, 4RBI); Ken Kessler (2/3, double, 2RBI); Charlie Greer (2/3, triple); Jerry Eastham (2/3); Pete Simoneau (1/2, triple, BB, 1RBI); Joe Osowiec (1/2, 1RBI); Mike Mcginn (1/2). Defensive highlights included double play on a pop-up to Joe Osowiec and a 4-3 tag at first by Harold; Scott had two catches in the outfield, MikeM had one; two out plays at home plate with a throw from MikeJ to Joel, and a throw from KO to Pete to Joel; Pete had one strikeout and 4 pop-up/line drives for out2 and a couple of ground-out assists, and the aforementioned final out of the game Mike M to Pete covering first. Thanks to Stephanie for keeping the books, Bob Topham & Coral Estes for umping.

Goodman Dermatology - 10 Carrousel Travel - 11

It was a chilly Monday morning when Goodman Dermatology took the field against a tough Carrousel Travel squad, and much like the temperature, our bats needed a little time to warm up. The early innings were sluggish on both sides, but as the sun climbed and the air warmed, so did the offense. By the end of five innings, the two teams had battled to an even 7-7 tie, setting up what promised to be an exciting final stretch. Goodman Dermatology came out swinging in the top of the 7th, putting together a strong frame and plating 3 runs to take a 10-7 lead heading into the bottom half. It felt like the boys had done just enough. Unfortunately, Carrousel Travel had other plans. Their top hitters came alive in the bottom of the 7th, stringing together hits and capitalizing on every opportunity. When the dust settled, Carrousel Travel had crossed the plate 4 times, walking off with an 11-10 victory and handing Goodman Dermatology a tough loss. On the offensive side, there was plenty to celebrate despite the outcome. Ed Campbell was an absolute machine, going a perfect 4 for 4 on the day. Sub Ron Swanson had a tremendous performance of his own, going 3 for 4 with a home run that gave the team a big lift. Murray Lushaw was equally productive, also going 3 for 4 and adding a double to his line. Jim Toker chipped in 1 for 3 with a double of his own, while Dan Sykes and sub Don Cole each went 2 for 4 to keep the lineup rolling. Glenn Turner was 1 for 3 but drew an intentional walk, a sure sign that the other team respected what he brings to the plate. The subs were equally impressive on the defensive side of the ball. Subs Ron Swanson and Jocelyne George turned heads in the outfield with some outstanding catches that kept the score from getting out of hand sooner. Sub Don Cole was a standout at second base, making the position look effortless and giving the infield a real anchor. It was one of those games that had everything — a slow start, a comeback, and a heartbreaking finish. Tip of the cap to Carrousel Travel — they earned it. Goodman Dermatology will look to bounce back next​​​​​​​ game.

Today was a complete game for the Carrousel team consisting of great defense and timely hitting.  5 of the 7 innings our defense held Goodman to 1 or 0 runs, only getting them back in the game late to tie the score.  Carrousel only had 18 hits, but sometimes it’s not quantity but quality that matters as we bunched up 4 runs, loaded the bases when a triple and a single gave us just what we needed to end the game.  The hit attack is as follows:  Joe Gonski 3/4, HR, 3RBI, Steve Foster, 3/3 with an RBI.  Going 2/3 were Sue Cary, Jeff Bearth (2RBI) Dick Steiman (2RBI) and John Silva. Our hit attack was followed by Kurt Kanouse ? (triple, 3RBI), Norm Volk, Bob Cary and and Sal Politi ended our offensive performance.  Good baseball balance ended up well.

WaFd Bank - 7 Blue Thunder - 11

Today the WaFd Bank took on the 1st place Blue Thunder and fell short 11-7 in a 6-inning game. After 4 innings, the Bankers were down 8-6. Blue Thunder picked up 3 in the 5th to the Banks 1 giving Blue Thunder an 11-7 lead. The Bankers could not score in the top of the 6th inning to end the game. Congratulations to the Blue Thunder Team. Defensively though not our best game, some nice plays were made included Doreen Stevensons catch in Left Field. Barney Armstrong played deep and picked up a grounder and an underhanded throw to the pitcher Phil Hughes for the out at 1st. Ric Brucia had a couple of nice play both with a pop up and an out at 2nd. Dan Davidson grabbed a grounder for an out and Pat Moriarity picked up a grounder for an out a 3rd. Don Cleveland had a few put outs at 3rd, 2nd and 1st. The outfield (Doreen Stevenson, Kirk King ( had a nice catch in Left Center), Carol Cemensky and Chris Zerr again kept most everything in front of them. The battery of Sam Bernhardt and Phil Hughes battled hard to keep a good hitting Blue Thunder Team at bay. Phil had a nice grab for a grounder for an out at 1st. Offensively perfect at the plate were Dan Davidson, Kirk King, and Barney Armstrong 2 RBIs. Getting 2 hits were Phil Hughes double RBI and Carol Cemensky. Getting on base were Don Cleveland, Pat Moriarty 2 RBIs, Ric Brucia double 2 RBIs and Chris Zerr. WaFd Bank would like to thank Doreen Stevenson for subbing and Joan Casazza for working our scorebook.

On Monday, Blue Thunder played host to a very good WaFed Bank team in a six-inning game. We also welcomed Ken Kessler to the team, back from his travels to the other side of the globe. Our first game with the fully drafted team on the field. Blue Thunder managed to hold the bankers to only 2 runs in the first, while scoring the 4 allowed to take the lead by 2. Both teams played solid defense and stopped the other team from scoring any runs in 2nd, 4th and 6th innings. Both teams scored the maximum of 4 runs in the 3rd, leaving the 5th as the decisive inning in which WaFed deposited one run in the top of the inning, while Thunder managed to increase its lead with 3 more in the bottom, and came away victorious 11 -7. Offensively, we had 17 hits in our five innings at-bat: Mike Jordan (3/3, double, 5RBI); Scott Boyd (3/3, 1RBI); Ken Kessler (2/2, crawling double, BB, 3RBI); Pete Simoneau (2/2, double, BB, 2 RBI); Mike Mcginn (2/2); Charlie Greer & Karen Olsen (2/3); Jerry Eastham (1/3); Joel Last (BB) Most of the action was in the infield, and the defense held WaFed scoreless in 3 of the 6 innings in which they batted. Jerry had a nice pickup at third and throw for an out at second. Joe and Harold combined for a 3-4-1 out with Pete covering first. Joe, Ken, and Mike had some nice catches, and throws to second and first for outs. Pete had two strikeouts and several plays for put-outs at first and second. Thanks to Stephanie for keeping the books, Ron Burleson & Steve Foster for umping.

Team FastSigns had one of those days where almost nothing goes right. 13 hits and 5 runs scored combined with a dismal showing on defense led to a 17-5 shellacking at the hands of a hard hitting Gameday Health squad. Daren Proctor had a 3/3 day at the plate after a two week absence from a cruise and the flu and Tom Gobin and sub Kandi Patrick were each 2/3. The rest of us were not up to the task today. Our defense was porous and combined with several well hit balls led to a nightmare at the Field of Dreams. We want to thank Kandi Patrick and Norma Lucas for subbing today and to Marilyn Leinberger for keeping our scorebook. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator. 

General Exterminating - 9 Homesmart Camerons - 15

Gen Ex just couldn't get their bats going consistently and lost to Homesmart-Cameron 15-9.  They continued to try to come back and put up 4 in the 4th and 6th to come within 6, but that didn't get the job done.  Gen Ex had some fabulous defensive catches in the field by Laura Johnson and Art Molina. Sheldon Rosenthal was 2 for 3 with a walk, Dave Bagwell was 2 for 3, Dan Hodges was 2 for 3 with an RBI, Art Molina was 2 for 3 with a DBL and 4 RBI, Laura John was 2 for 3 with a DBL and an RBI, Sub Gary Christofferrson was 1 for 2 with a walk and an RBI, and Jake Groh was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI.  Many thanks to Gary Christofferson for subbing.

Holy Bageebas...2 in-the-park home runs by Bob Higgins & John Holten, plus a terrific catch by Tammie Songer for our 3rd out to end the game! It was another Goldilocks day at the Field of Dreams. Not too hot, not too cold..... it was just right to start our climb out of the basement. We started off the first inning with 3 runs and never looked back. Our defense was on point today and our bats were hot. Rod Dand had 4 hits. Bob Higgins had 2 singles, a triple and a home run. Joe Stempniewski had 3 singles and a double. John Holten has a single, a double and a home run. Steve Armstrong, Annie Lowe & Ed Hart had 2 singles. Bob Topham & Tammie Songer each had a hit.

FastSigns - 7 WaFd Bank - 11

FastSigns loses again. I’m as frustrated writing this as I’m sure my teammates are living it. We have two bad innings defensively but play relatively well on that side of the game but our bats go silent with only 15 hits and 7 runs scored. Leadoff hitter Skip Pavitt had a good day going 3/4 with 2 runs scored and a RBI. Dan Hofeditz up next with a 2/4 day and run scored.  Tom Gobin was 3/4 with 2 runs scored and a RBI. Charlie Counts had 2 triples and 4 RBI with a run scored in his 4 at bats.  Jim Mathews picked up a RBI and a hit. Ed Campbell, Tim Mitchell, Ed Abrams and Pierre Boudreau all contributed a hit. Pitcher Dan Hofeditz was busy in the field and had several putouts and pop flies. Rover Skip Pavitt made a number of nice plays while Tom Gobin at third did a good job defensively including being the pivot man on a double play. The outfield was steady. Thanks to Joan Casazza and Marilyn Leinberger for keeping the scorebook and to the umpires and scoreboard operator. 

On a brisk morning at the Field of Dreams the WaFd Bank went up against a strong FastSigns Team. The Bankers started fast with an 8-0 lead after 3. The Bankers continued with an 11-2 lead after 5. Over the next 2 innings FastSigns came alive with 5 runs and holding The Bankers yet this was not enough as the WaFd Bank took the win 11-7. Our defensive continues to improve and today was our best showing so far. The outfield of Ron Rogerson, Jocelyne George, Carol Cemensky and John Smith held it together, keeping most of the balls in front of them. Pat Moriarity played a good 3rd base picking up a grounder and a line drive. Don Cleveland continues to vacuum up everything in the short stop area. Ric Brucia is improving every game (as he gets to know the batters) at Rover catching pop ups and grounders and executing double plays. Dan Davidson plays a solid 2nd base and Barney at 1st base likes to visit with the opposing team. The battery of Sam Bernhardt and Kandi Patrick again had a wonderful game. Sam recorded an out at home plate catching a throw from 1st base. Kandi pitched well with strikeouts and fielding grounders and line drives for outs. Offensively perfect at the plate were Don Cleveland 3/3 double and Barney Armstrong 3/3 RBI. Collecting 2 hits were Dan Davidson, Kandi Patrick double 2 RBIs, Pat Moriarty Triple 4 RBIs, Ric Brucia double 2 RBIs and Jocelyne George. Getting on base were Carol Cemensky RBI, Ron Rogerson and John Smith Triple RBI. WaFd Bank would like to thank our subs Jocelyne George, Kandi Patrick, Ron Rogerson and John Smith. Thank you, Joan Casazza, for getting up early and working our scorebook.

Highlights included a nice running outfield catch by Scott Boyd, Charlie Greer had a catch and a 9-3 assist; and the infield (Joe Osowiec, Mike Jordan, Charlie Counts, Jerry Eastham and Harold) made several good plays getting the needed outs at first, second and third base.

Gothic Landscaping - 17 FastSigns - 8

Gothic went up against the Fast Sign Team today in an early morning game. Gothic started out strong with 3 runs in the first inning while holding Fast Sign to only 2 runs. In the 2nd inning we put up 4 runs and never looked back, putting up 3 or 4 runs in all but 1 inning. Our hitting was lead by Kandi Patrick and Gerry Boesche with 4 hits each, followed by CL Eversman, Sub Don Cleveland, Kevin Gillette and Lonnie Saiz each with 3 hits, followed by Bob Dye and Dave Safran with 2 hits and Dorothy Muzar added a hit for the win. Our next game is Wed. 2/18 @ 12:15. No one has any duties on that day.

FastSigns suffered a beat down today at the hands of Gothic Landscaping by the score of 17-8. It was one of those days that we couldn’t string any hits together. Of course our opponents played great defense as it seemed our best hit balls were caught. Leadoff hitter Skip Pavitt tried to pull us along with a perfect 4/4 day that included 2 triples and a double with 2 RBI. Charlie Counts was also perfect at bat with a 4/4 day as was Pierre Boudreau getting a single, double and triple in his 3 plate appearances. Tom Gobin was 2/4 on the day while Dan Hofeditz, Jim Mathews, Jocelyne George and Tim Mitchell each picked up a hit. Defensively it seemed Gothic hit the ball just out of reach. Couple that with too many errors when given the opportunity to make a play and the result was a resounding loss. Hopefully this will bring out the competitive fire in team FastSigns and result in a better effort next game. Thanks to Jocelyne George and Ed Hart for subbing today. We truly appreciate you! A special thanks to Joan Casazza for keeping our scorebook on this early morning game. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operators and to Bob Cary and Jeff Smith for all they do for the club.

General Exterminating - 9 Blue Thunder - 14

General Exterminating put up a good fight against a very hard hitting Blue Thunder team.  Gen Ex played some good defense and held Blue Thunder scoreless in 2 innings.  In the end, Blue Thunder just had too many big hitters.

Goodman Dermatology - 6 Game Day Health - 8

"Goodman Dermatology Falls to GameDay Health 6-8 in 7 innings, well… 6 1/2 innings. The weather matched our bats on this cloudy, cool afternoon as Goodman Dermatology dropped a hard-fought contest to GameDay Health, 6-8. Goodman Dermatology came out swinging early, building a lead through the first three innings and looking poised for victory. But the momentum shifted dramatically in the 4th inning when GameDay clawed back to knot the score at 6-6. From that point forward, our offense went ice cold. Despite multiple opportunities, Goodman Dermatology couldn’t push another run across the plate. Meanwhile, GameDay Health capitalized on their momentum, tacking on 2 more runs to secure the win. In what turned out to be a low-scoring affair, the final tally read 6-8 in favor of GameDay Health. While the loss stings, the team showed heart in building that early advantage. The challenge now is to rediscover that offensive spark and carry it through all seven innings. Next game, we’ll look to warm up those bats and get back in the win column.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Defensively we had some good plays and catches in the outfield. Offensively, four players were 2/3, Ed Campbell, Murray Lushaw, sub Shawna Fletcher and Barry Schwartz with a triple. "

GameDay Health & Goodman Dermatology battled in a low scoring game with GameDay pulling out a 8-6 win in a 6 1/2 inning game.  Good pitching and defense was the name of the game today for both teams.  Paul Plapp pitched another good game with 5 shutout innings.  At 3rd base, Dale Huffine made some nice plays.  GameDay was led by Dave Holub 3x3 3 RBI’s,  Frank Preite 3x3 1 RBI 1 HR,  Steve Coffman 2x2 1 RBI 1 sac,  Dale Huffine 2x3 1 triple,  Gary Kuhlman 2x3 1 RBI,  Jeanne Lushaw 1x3 1 RBI,  Jim Tomich 1x2, Dave Michels 1x3,  Mike Kachurak 0x3 1 RBI, sub, Joel Last & Paul Plapp 0x3 each.  Thank you to our sub, Joel Last and Joan Casazza for keeping our book.

FastSigns - 8 Karen Olsen Realty - 10

Another walk off loss against a strong Karen Olsen Real Estate team today was quite the contrast to Monday’s loss. With the exception of the seventh inning our defense played good enough to win most games but our offense had a rough day. Ed Abrams with a 3/3 day and Tom Gobin at 3/4 on the day did their part but the rest of us hit it at someone or grounded out. Only Jim Mathews and Pierre Boudreau were able to get 2 hits while everyone else was held to one hit. Defensively Skip Pavitt at Rover was busy and made several nice plays while sub Jocelyne George made a nice catch in LC while also contributing a double and 2 RBI. Thanks for subbing Jocelyne! Dan Hofeditz started a double play with Skip handling the pivot as well as fielding several grounders from his pitching position. Tom Gobin made several good plays at third and Jim Mathews handled first base well while catching two foul ball popups. Sub David Howard caught a foul tip behind the plate. Thanks for subbing again David. Next week is a chance to start a winning streak and have some more fun! Thanks to Joan Casazza for getting out early to keep our scorebook and to the umpires and scoreboard operator. As usual Bob Cary was on hand to get the field open and the scoreboard fired up. Thanks Bob!

Gothic Landscaping - 11 Goodman Dermatology - 15

Gothic went up against a tough Goodman Dermatology team today. Goodman took an early lead and Gothic was  able to keep the game close but we could never catch up to them. Unfortunately in the 3rd inning Gary Ash playing Left Center Field for Goodman had a long fly ball deflect off his glove and hit him squarely in the face. We are all praying for him to make a speedy recovery. Our hitting was lead by Kandi Patrick and Dave Safran with 3 hits each followed by Dorothy Muzar, CL Eversman, Bob Dye and Sub John Smith with 2 hits each. Gerry Boesche, Dede Gaetz and Sub Carol Cemensky all added a hit as well. Our next game is Monday 2/16 @ 8:30. Kandi Patrick has Umpire duty after the game at 9:45 and Dorothy Muzar has Scoreboard duty at 9:45 as well.

"Goodman Dermatology defeats Gothic Landscaping, 15-11 in a 6 inning game. In a hard-fought six-inning battle, Goodman Dermatology withstood a late surge from Gothic Landscaping to secure a 15-11 victory, though the win came at a cost. Goodman Dermatology dominated early, building a commanding lead while keeping the normally potent Gothic Landscaping offense in check. Gothic managed just a single run in the first inning, then went scoreless in the second before adding two runs in the third. The game remained competitive as Gothic chipped away with four runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, but Goodman Dermatology’s offensive firepower and stellar defense kept them comfortably ahead. The defensive effort was nothing short of spectacular, with the infield turning in several outstanding plays to limit the damage and keep Gothic hitters off balance. Despite Gothic’s persistence at the plate, Goodman’s defense made the plays when it mattered most. Offensively, Goodman Dermatology was firing on all cylinders, pounding out 18 hits throughout the game. The balanced attack kept constant pressure on Gothic’s defense and built a lead that would prove crucial down the stretch. The game was marred by a scary moment when Goodman’s left center fielder collided with a fly ball and had to be taken to the hospital. The player is expected to miss several games, casting a shadow over an otherwise strong team performance. Beyond that incident, Goodman played a clean game with very few defensive miscues. With the win, Goodman Dermatology demonstrated they can maintain composure and hold off a determined opponent even as Gothic battled back inning after inning. They’ll need to find a way to fill the void left by their injured outfielder in upcoming contests. Final Score: Goodman Dermatology 15, Gothic Landscaping 11

Offensive notes: Ed Campbell was 2/3 , a home run and a BB and 3 rbi’s, Murray Lushaw was 3/4 , 2 singles, a double and a HR, Glenn Turner 3/3 , Barry Schwartz 3/3 including a 3 bagger, sub Jack Miller 3/3 including a double, Ray Hensley 2/3, Jim Tokar 1/2, a single, BB & 1 rbi, Jack Braly 1/2, a single and a BB, Ron Rogerson 0/0, 3 walks, Yvonne Becker 0/1, a single and 2 BB’s. The team thanks Jack Miller for subbing today at first base and a special thanks to Marilyn Leinberger for doing our scorebook.

Defensively the Bankers had their best game blanking Gen Ex in 5 of the 7 innings. The battery of Sam Bernhardt and Kandi Patrick pitched a whale of a game. The outfield of Sub Charlie Campbell, Claire Lucas, Barney Armstrong and Chris Zerr kept most everything in front of them. Dan Davidson helped in the outfield when Claire Lucas needed to come out and was replace by Ed Hart covering 2nd. The infield of Pat Moriarty, Don Cleveland, Rick Brucia, Dan Davidson (Sub Ed Hart) and Sub Don C Cole played well with Don to Rick to Don for a double play. Don Cleveland caught a nice pop fly in shallow left field. Kandi had quite a few grounders that were grabbed for outs. Dan Davidson had a a pickup for an out as did Ed Hart. Charlie Campbell caught a fly ball in Left field. Offensively perfect at the plate were Don Cleveland 1/1 2 walks and Don C Cole 3/3.

Karen Olsen Realty - 4 General Exterminating - 5

"One of those days, we couldn't catch a break as our bats got cold. 4 runs will not do it We batted 14/32 for a .437 average. Nice throw to 1st by Norma for an out! All in All we played good defence after the 1st inning giving up only 1 run.

General Exterminating took the lead in the first inning and held onto it until the top of 5 when Karen Olsen put a run across to tie the game. Gen Ex answered in the 6th with Dan Hodges hitting a home run to again take the lead 5-4.  Gen Ex was able to hold their lead in the 7th for the 5-4 win. Gen Ex only had 10 hits in the game, but put them to good use, and the defense was stellar against a hard hitting Karen Olsen team. Dan Hodges was 2 for 3 with a Home Run and 2 RBI, Warren Stevenson was 1 for 3 with 2 RBI and Jake Groh was 1 for 3 with an RBI. Our normal pitcher was missing today and team mate Laura Johnson stepped in and did a fabulous job.  Thank you to John Smith for subbing.

WaFd Bank - 12 Carrousel Travel - 12

The WaFd Bank and Carrousel Travel Softball Teams ended in a tie 12-12. The game was hard fought by both teams up until the 6th and final inning. I'm not going into details, lets just say we entered the Twilight Zone with a few bizarre plays. Defensively, the Bankers played a much better game than the opener a week ago. Barney caught a fly ball in Right Center and the outfield of Claire Lucas, Kirk King, Barney Armstrong and Chris Zerr kept most of the balls in front of them. The infield had some nice plays with Don Cleveland catching a line drive at Short Stop and grabbing grounders with throws to 3rd and 2nd for outs.  Dan Davidson played deep and threw a ball to Phil Hughes covering 1st base for the out. Phil pitched a good game and Sam Bernhardt at home caught a throw on a bounce from Don for an out in the final inning. Pat had a pickup at 3rd. Offensively, the Bankers doubled their hitting with 20 hits. Perfect at the plate were Kirk King 4/4 Triple double 5 RBIs, and Barney Armstrong 4/4 2 RBIs. Getting 3 hits was Phil Hughes 3/4. Collecting 2 hits were Dan Davidson 2/4, Don Cleveland 2/3 walk and Rick Brucia 2/4 2 RBIs. Pat Moriarity 2/4 with a double and 3 RBIs and Claire Lucas got a hit with Chris Zerr and Sam Bernhardt each getting a walk. Marilyn did a super job working or scorebook. Thank you. 

Somethings don’t change we play well at the beginning but we lose it in the end. Today was one of those days where the calls go against you. We started out very well we had 3 runs in the first inning, 2 in the second and lead going into the last inning 10 to 7 however we gave up five runs on the top of the inning. We came back with 2 to tie. Kurt Kanouse 4/4, sub John Sliva 2/2 +a walk, Steve Foster 3/4,Joe Stempiewski 1/2 a HR + a walk (thanks for subbing),1/3 Jeff Bearth,Sue&Bob Cary, Norm Volk & Klaus Holt,1/2 Sal Politi, Dick Steinman with 2 walks. Our prayer are with Chip White  in the hospital. Thanks Joan Casazza for keeping the book.

FastSigns - 17 Goodman Dermatology - 18

Team FastSigns scored enough to win today but our defense was not up to par. Goodman Dermatology pulled out the win in the bottom of the sixth with 3 runs.

Goodman Dermatology Rallies for Thrilling Comeback Victory against the FastSigns 11. In a nail-biting showdown that came down to the final inning, Goodman Dermatology pulled off a dramatic come-from-behind victory, scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh to snatch a one-run win against a formidable offensive opponent. The game lived up to its billing as a battle between two competitive squads, with Goodman Dermatology facing off against a team known for their potent bats. Throughout the contest, the visiting team’s hitters kept the pressure on, but Goodman Dermatology refused to fold, matching them stride for stride and keeping the deficit manageable. Despite committing several errors in the field that could have derailed a lesser team, Goodman Dermatology showed remarkable resilience. The defensive miscues were offset by clutch pitching when it mattered most and timely hitting throughout the lineup. Each player contributed in their own way, embodying the true meaning of team softball. Heading into the final frame, Goodman Dermatology trailed by two runs. Rather than succumb to the deficit, the team drew on their collective determination. With their backs against the wall, the offense came alive in the seventh inning. The rally showcased contributions from up and down the order, with players delivering key hits, advancing runners, and putting pressure on the defense. When the dust settled, Goodman Dermatology had plated three runs in their final at-bat, completing the comeback and securing a victory that showcased their character, perseverance, and never-say-die attitude. It was a total team effort and a game that won’t soon be forgotten.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Offensively the top hitter was once again Murray Lushaw going 4/4, 2 doubles, a triple and a single, followed by Ed Campbell with 3/4. Those going 3/3 were Gary Ash including a walk a double and a final single that would have been a 3 bagger but brought in the winning run from 3rd. Glenn Turner including a double, Barry Schwartz, 2 singles and a triple. Dan Sykes, all singles. Jim Tokar was 2/3. Yvonne Becker was 1/2 and a BB, Ray Hensley 1/3, Jack Braly was 1/1 and 2 BB’s. Ron Rogerson hit the ball well but was unable to get on base. The team and the manager want to give Marilyn Leinberger a big thank you for doing our scorebook.

Carrousel Travel - 8 Karen Olsen Realty - 14

"Today’s game is one we just want to forget and move on. We had 8 flyout/line drive outs along with 2 double plays which after our traditional 4 run first, gave us no momentum to ignite a rally. It was not our day. We only had 16 hits thru 7 innings whereas we had 22 hits on Monday in just 5. Ouch!! Jeff Bearth went 3/3 with (1rbi) while Steve Foster, Joe Gonski (2rbi), Sue Cary (2rbi), Sal Politi (2rbi) and Dick Steiman went 2/3. Kurt Kanouch, Chip White, and Klaus Holt went 1/3 while Bob Cary went had a hit/(1rbi) to round out our hitting. We get back to work on Monday!

"
1st game of the session for us as we had a bye on Monday. Started out not so good as we gave up 4 in the top of the 1st inning, we answered with 4 in the bottom of the inning, we then held Carrousel Travel to only 4 runs the rest of the game as we put up 10 runs. Another game where we got our defence working, we had 3 double plays and some clutch catches. Great effort by all. we had 20 hits with 30 at bats for a team average of .667 batting today Sub Ric Brucia 3/3 3 RB's, Don Trenda 3/4 triple 1 RBI, Brian De Herrera 3/4 2 RBI's, Coral Estes 2/3 4 RBI's, Doreen Stevenson 2/2 walk and 1 RBI, Drug Harms 2/2 triple and walk 1 RBI, Sub Joe Stempniewski 2/3 1 RBI, Sherry Westland 1/3 1 RBI, Greg Szlak 2/3 2 doubles,  Want to thank SUBs Ric Brucia and Joe Stempniewski, and Yuvonne Becker for doing the Book

Goodman Dermatology - 19 Homesmart Camerons - 11

"Goodman Dermatology defeated HomeSmart today in an impressive display of softball prowess this game , showing excellence on both sides of the ball in a commanding performance that left no doubt about the team’s abilities.The defense was airtight from the first pitch to the final out. Perhaps most impressively, there wasn’t a single error recorded—a testament to the team’s focus. At the plate, Goodman Dermatology was relentless with everyone getting at least one hit. It was a complete team effort that demonstrated why Goodman Dermatology is a force to be reckoned with on the softball field.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The top hitters were Murray Lushaw going 4/4 including a triple and Ed Campbell also going 4/4. Sub Don Cleveland playing SS went 3/5 today including a triple in the 7th inning. Gary Ash went 3/4 including a double and triple and a sac, Ray Hensley going 3/4 and Jack Braly also managing a 3/4 day. Yvonne Becker banged out a 3/3 day including a base on balls (and I see I incorrectly reported Yvonne as 2/4 on Monday’s game and should have been 3/4, way to go Yvonne). Dan Sykes was 2/4 as was Ron Rogerson. Barry Schwartz hit a double and was 1/4 today as was Jim Tokar. The team thanks Don Cleveland subbing at SS and Marilyn Leinberger for doing our scorebook.
"
Well today’s game was a tough slog for HomeSmart. We just couldn’t get our mojo working try as we might. Goodman seemed to be everywhere we hit the ball. Even with 23 hits we only managed to score 11. Leading the hitting fest was Joe Stempniewski with 4/4, Annie Lowe with 3/4 and pretty much the rest of us were 2/4. Thank you Joan for being our scorekeeper!

Blue Thunder - 16 GameDay Health - 11

Blue Thunder was the visitor v GameDay Health, and with the help of our two subs, Gary Ash (3/4, 2RBI), and Dan Hodges (2/4, 1RBI) we managed to bang out 27 hits and score 16 runs in seven innings. After the first inning jitters, in which GameDay scored 4 runs, the defense settled down and allowed just 7 runs over the next six frames. Final score was Blue Thunder 16 - GameDay 11.

From the 3rd inning to the 7th inning, GameDay was not able to match the Blue team’s offense as well as their defense. A well played game by the Blue team.

FastSigns - 17 General Exterminating - 5

Today was a good day for FastSigns both at the plate and in the field as we held a game General Exterminating team to 5 runs while scoring 17 times. Skip Pavitt started us on the right path by taking a walk and scoring our first run on his way to a 2/3 day including a triple to go with 3 RBI while scoring 3 times. Dan Hofeditz followed with 4 RBI on a 3/4 day at the plate. Tom Gobin was also 3/4 with a double and a RBI. Jim Mathews forced in a run with a walk in the first inning and contributed a double leading off the fifth and scored 3 runs. Charlie Counts was 4/4 with a triple and 4 RBI. Daren Proctor went 1/3 with a RBI. Tim Mitchell started the 4 run second inning with a hit and ended the day with 2 hits and a RBI. Paul Pearson coaxed a walk to keep the second inning alive as did Jim Collins who picked up a hit in his next at bat. Ed Abrams had a perfect day going 3/3 with 3 runs scored and a RBI. Kris Koch was a great sub today with a hit and a walk and a RBI. Her only out was a screaming line drive. Defensively Dan Hofeditz started a double play and recorded several outs from his pitching position. Jim Mathews dug out a couple of low throws at first. Ed Abrams had a good day at second base. Skip Pavitt was truly a rover today making plays in both the outfield and infield. Charlie Counts made a hustle play on a popup that Ed lost in the sun to get the putout. Tom Gobin at third made several good plays from hard hit balls to slow rollers he handled everything that came his way. The outfield had a tough time with the sun in the late game but only let one ball get behind them. They got the ball to the cutoff man quickly to set up forceouts which takes pressure off the pitcher and infielders. A special callout to sub Kris Koch for coming in from left to cover third base when we shifted to the right with a lefty at bat. This prevented the runner from advancing. We want to thank Kris Koch for subbing today and thank the umpires and scoreboard operator. A special thanks to Joan Casazza for keeping our scorebook and help in managing the dugout.

Gen Ex just gave away too many runs early to a hard hitting FastSigns team and weren't able to catch up, losing 17-5 in a shortened 6 inning mercy game. We had some good defensive plays and a lot of close calls that didn't go our way. Sheldon Rosenthat was 2 for 3, Dave Bagwell 2 for 3, Dan Hodges 2 for 3 with a DBL and an RBI, Art Molina was 1 for 3 with a DBL and an RBI, Laura Johnson was 1 for 3 with an RBI, Warren Stevenson was 2 for  with an RBI and Dick Kohnen was 1 for 2 with an RBI.

FastSigns - 15 Carrousel Travel - 10

The fall season was a tough one for the FastSigns team. We got off to a terrible start by losing our first four games. Then we played well over the next eight games posting a 5-1-2 record. Unfortunately we didn’t play well down the stretch and the last seven games saw us post a 3-4 record to finish at 8-9-2. The last game we put out a good effort and were able to finish with a win over a Carrousel Travel squad who had beaten us earlier in the season. Offensively our last three in the batting order were the catalyst in this win led by Jerry Eastham with a 3/3 day followed by Klaus Holt and Wayne Moxley going 2/3. Jerry had an RBI while Wayne had 2 RBI and scored two runs. Laura Johnson and Wes Mason each had a hit. Art Molina was the big RBI guy today with 5 on a 3/4 day. His bases loaded triple in the first inning set the tone for the day and gave us a lead we never relinquished. Also going 3/4 was Tom Gobin who also had an RBI while scoring 3 runs. Kurt Kanouse was 2/3 on the day with a walk and 2 RBI. Jim Mathews was also 2/3 with a walk and 2 RBI while scoring twice. Bob Snelling was 2/3 with a walk and an RBI while scoring three times. Charlie Counts was 2/3 with an RBI. Defensively Kurt Kanouse was busy in left center including recording all three outs on fly balls one inning. Art Molina made a good catch in left while fighting the early morning sun plus he got the ball to the relay man to cut down a runner at third. Bob and Wayne on the right side got the ball back in quickly to prevent the runners from taking an extra base. Tom Gobin at third handled his position well and started a double play in which Jim Mathews turned a good pivot and throw to complete the play. Charlie Counts at SS had several chances and with the exception of a low throw to first did his job. Jim Mathews at Rover was busy today and did a good job. Jerry Eastham at second made a good play to force a runner at second as well as catching a tough popup. Wes Mason at first made a couple of catches on poor throws to save his teammates. Laura Johnson not only pitched a good game but fielded several grounders to make life easier on her infielders. To summarize the season we were a streaky team and lost a few games we had a chance to win but our record is what it is. Tom and I want to let our teammates know we appreciate their efforts and are happy they are enjoying the Grand Softball Club. Thanks to Joan Casazza for keeping the score book today and to the umpires and scoreboard operator. A special thanks to Bob Cary for helping prepare the field on these chilly mornings. Thanks to Commissioners Mike Kachurak, Jeff Smith and Chris Espejo for all you do for the club.

Well “The Song Remains the Same:” FastSigns scores 4, Carrousel 2. FS scores 4, We score 2. FS scores 2, We score 0, yet on the field we had folks on base BUT 5 force outs at 2nd base and 2 double plays is a killer…OMG. Charlie Greer 3/4, Joe Gonski 3/4,2rbi. Dick Steiman 3/3,2rbi, Karen Olsen 2/4 with 2rbi while Norm Volk and Chris Zerr had a rbi each. Ed Campbell, 1rbi, John Smith 1rbi and Sam Bernhardt rounded out our 16 hits. The season sure did not go our way and despite the frustration of the moment, we all enjoyed playing with each other and that in the end was a good thing. Hopefully winter season will be better for the Carrousel brand.

"Today Gothic went up against Boward Factory Service. Both Teams started out slowly with just 1 run in the first inning. In the 3rd inning Boward came alive and put up 4 runs but Gothic couldn’t get the hitting going until the 5th inning. With only 2 innings left we weren’t able to catch up. We were in last place for the first half of the season but made a great comeback and ended the season in 2nd place. So good job everyone, I hope you all had fun this season and looking forward to seeing you all at the Ball Field next season. The hitting was lead by Bob Higgins, Jeff Bearth, and Daren Proctor with 3 hits each followed by Dan Hofeditz, Sal Politi, Kevin Gillette, and John Weyrich with 2 hits each and Debbie Kanouse hit a hard line drive to left field to start a 4 run rally to help close the scoring gap, good job Deb. Special thanks to are subs, Bob Higgins, Dale Huffine, Kevin Gillette,John Weyrich, and Debbie Kanouse and Betty Saiz for keeping the Book."
