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. Hitting today, Greg Szlak 3/3 Double & HR and 2 RBI's, Don Trenda 2/3, Phill Murry 2/3, Doug Harms 2/3, Sherry Westland 2/3, Getting one hit ea Brian De Herrera 1 RBI, Paul Jinneman 1 RBI, and Doreen Stevenson Thank you Yvonne Becker for doing the book."

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. Tom Gobin had a good day at the plate going 4/4 on the day. Also perfect at bat was sub David Howard going 4/4 with 4 RBI including 2 doubles. Skip Pavitt was 4/5 with an RBI. Charlie Counts was 3/4 with a home run leading off the third and 3 RBI. Sub Charlie Greer was also 3/4 on the day with a RBI as was Ed Abrams and Pierre Boudreau. Ed picked up a RBI while Pierre had 2 RBI. Tim Mitchell and Jim Collins were both 2/4. Tim had 2 RBI’s and Jim had one RBI. Dan Hofeditz had a double and RBI. Jim Mathews was also 1/4 with a RBI.

Thanks to the scoreboard operator and to Bob Carey for helping secure the field. 

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. Player stats: Harold Enslen 4/4, 3 RBI; Pete Simoneau & Scott Boyd both went 4/4, 2RBI each; Joe Osowiec 3/3, 1RBI; Charlie Greer & Mike Jordan were both 2/4, 2RBI each; Jerry Eastham 2/3, BB; Joel Last 1/3, Mike Mcginn was 0/3 Thanks to Stephanie for keeping the books, Ron Burleson & Marilyn for umping, Yvonne for keying the scoreboard, and Sue Cary for procuring our subs, again.

"GameDay Health was taken down 16-11 by a good hard hitting Blue Thunder team in a 7 inning game. The game was tied 4-4 through the 2nd inning. 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. GameDay was led by Steve Coffman 3x3 2 RBI’s 2 dbl’s, Jim Tomich 2x2 1 RBI 1 bb, Dave Michels 3x4, Joe Sowder 2x3 2 RBI’s 1 dbl, Dave Holub 2x4 3 RBI’s, Mike Kachurak 2x4 1 RBI, Frank Preite 2x4 1 dbl, Dale Huffine 2x4, Jeanne Lushaw 1x3 2 RBI’s, Gary Kuhlman 1x4, Paul Plapp 0x3.

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."
