The game started out well for Treedah with good pitching and great defense. After three innings Treedah lead 3to 1.

Mike Kachurak, Bob Snelling, Phil Murray, and Don Hansen all collected 2 hits each. If nothing else, fresh cool air and a little exercise was received this morning by both teams.

Petelin Vision - 13 Nancy Muslin Realty - 12

Greg Slak was 3-3, 3 R.B.I. Jake Groh was 2-3, scored once. Doug Asleson was 2-3, scored once, 2 R.B.I. Daren Proctor was 2-3, triple, scored twice, 2 R.B.I Mike Ryan was 2-3, scored once.

Thunderbird Auto - 14 Colonnade - 13

Thunderbird Auto was able to pull out a hard fought victory in the bottom of the seventh over a tough Colonnade team today. Ed Campbell was the hero with a hard hit ball to right center that plated the tying and winning runs. The bats were hot today as we were credited with 25 hits. Leading the way, Wash and Ed Campbell with a perfect five or five including the game winner. Charlie Counts had four hits on the day (aided by the sun on a pop-up) Patrick Burnett was four for four and Ron Silberman reached base all four plate appearances with two solid hits and two intentional walks. Lanny Auberg and Tom Gobin came through with three hits each followed by Lee Luft with two big hits. Joe Jellison and Paul Pearson both hit the ball hard today but good defense held them to one hit apiece. Overall we hit the ball hard and had good base running which led to our win. Defensively we were not as sharp as usual but that is to be expected when you are playing with four subs who haven’t played together which complicates the communication necessary to be a good defensive team. Roger Miller at catcher caught a pop foul that was huge. Lee Luft pitched a good game and made two very good plays. Lanny Auberg caught a screaming line drive at third and Tom Gobin jumped to slow down a line drive that allowed the outfielder to field the ball and force the runner at second. Ed Campbell was the busy guy in left and caught everything hit his way. Despite the errors we made enough defensive plays to hold off a very good hitting Colonnade team. Final score 14-13. We owe a huge thanks to our subs Ron Silberman, Patrick Burnett, Lee Luft and Yvonne Becker. You all played hard and we appreciate the effort! Special thanks to Marilyn for keeping our scorebook. It was a Goldilocks day at The Field of Dreams. Not too hot, not too cold. It was just right to play softball. We started out on fire with 4 runs and held the lead through 2nd innings. The Thunderbirds fired their jets and took the lead for the 3rd & 4th innings. We were back on top for the 5th, down for the 6th and back up in the top of the 7th. The T-birds put the pedal to the metal in the bottom of the 7th to win the game. We hit well with the following players going 3-4…. Kandi Patrick, Kirk King, Bob Williams, Jeff Bearth, Patrick Moriarity and Denise Gibala. Art Molina was 3-3 with a walk. Don Cleveland was 2-4 with one of his hits being a triple. A big congratulations to our catcher, Jim Collins, for hitting 2-3 today!

Property Sisters - 7 Tride/True Pest Mgmt - 19

WyYerd Fiber - 17 Barton Realty - 11

WyYerd played Barton Realtors today.  Barton got off to a good start putting up 4 runs in the first inning, but WyYerd was able to answer with 4 runs of there own. Then our defense stiffened and we were able to hold them to only 2 runs in the next 3 innings. Marty Jimenez played an excellent 3rd base making some great catches and throwing out several base runners, he was also perfect at the plate going 3 for 3 and driving in 2 runs. Sal Politi was also perfect at the plate going 3 for 3 and driving in 1 run. Sal also made an amazing catch on a foul pop-up.

"Just another beautiful morning for a game that was made more pleasant by a victory for the struggling Treedah Magee team. The game was very competitive with the final score of 10 to 8.

Jeff Smith moved up to the number 3 batter and came through with 2 hits and 2 runs scored. Bob Snelling went 4 for 4 , Fred Lubs had 3 hits, and Mike Kachurak &Brian Deherrera collected 2 hits each.

But the real star of the show, Patrick Moriarity, made not 1 but 2 awesome catches; the last to clinch our victory! At the plate going 3/4 we have Don Cleveland, Kirk King, Pete Simomeau and Denise Gibala. Going 2/4 were Art Molina and Patrick Moriarty. Ed Hart went 3/3!

Reality Check---Reality Check: Well Susie Tornes brought here Property Sisters to the field today ready to play ball with their game faces on. Ranalls got taken down to the last inning when an intentional walk and a gapper by Pete Simoneau closed it out. We started out with Kurt Kanouse getting a hit, then an injury!

Great job Chip…what a day for our super catcher. We did not play our best game today, but we worked as a team and hammered out a win. We’ll take it!

What a great game. This was by far our best played game of the young season. Our hitting finally came around and we had 21 hits. We took the first place team to the bottom of the 7th inning.

Thunderbird Auto - 6 Barton Realtors - 16

The bye on Monday may have been the culprit or maybe Barton Realtors took us to the woodshed. Regardless we suffered our first loss of the season. Ed Campbell and Ray Hensley were both perfect at the plate with three hits apiece. Charlie Counts, Joe Jellison and Joe Wojtasiak each coming through with two hits. Joe W. had his hardest hit ball lined up perfectly with the first baseman’s mitt to thwart our best attempt at a comeback. Tom Gobin, Paul Pearson, Bob Higgins and sub Ed Abrams all got a hit. Defensively we were unable to make the plays necessary to stay competitive. That is all I will say about that phase of the game. Congratulations to a good Barton Realtors team who played nearly flawlessly. Thanks very much to sub Ed Abrams and to Marilyn for keeping our scorebook.

The gloves were warm and the bats were hot as everyone on Barton Realtors had at least one hit for a team total of 27 hits.  Mark Glim was 4 for 4 with a double and 2 rbi's.  Dale Huffine was 4 for 4 with a double and 2 rbi's.  Bob Cary was 4 for 4 with 2 rbi's.  Bob Topham was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 rbi's.  Kim Hurd was 2 for 4 with a double and 3 rbi's.  Gerry Boesche was 2 for 4 with 2 rbi's.  Fred Swan was 2 for 3 with a walk and 1 rbi.  Debbie Bigelow was 1 for 4 but drove in 3 runs.  Sue Cary was 3 for 4.  Michael Wilton and Klaus Holt each had a single.  Defensively we stuttered a little in the bottom of the 1st allowing 4 runs, but from that point on the gloves became as hot as the bats.  Eagle eye Gerry Boesche caught four popups at his rover position while looking directly into the sun.  Bob Topham caught a hard-hit line drive again at his 1B position for a key out in the game.  Debbie Bigelow made two good plays at her 2B position to get the runner out going to 2B.  Dale Huffine made a couple of good catches at 3B to throw the batters out at 1B.  Sue Cary caught a couple of hard-hit ground balls at shortstop and was able to get the runners out heading to 3B .  The outfield missed a few balls due to the sun but made the catches when they needed to in order to prevent runners from advancing.  Michael Wilton pitched a very good game keeping the batters off balance with very few walks and a lot of strikes.  A great team effort today.  I apologize to Yvonne Becker for not including her in the writeup on Monday.  Thank you for doing our scorebook.  Marilyn, thank you for doing our scorebook and running back and forth between the two dugouts to do the other team's book too.  Also, welcome back to Bob Higgins. Good to see you back on the field (even if it was on the opposing team)!

Treedah Magee Realty - 7 Ranall's Realty - 18

"Treedah Magee was certainly overmatched today by a very good Randall’s Realty team. The final score of 18 to 7 was indicative of the fact that the game was never close. On the positive side, Bob Snelling , Don Hansen, and Dick Steiman each collected 3 hits each. Norris Carpenter & Fred Lubs each had 2 hits. Another bright spot during the game was the simply beautiful weather. "

All phases of Team Ranall’s came to the ballpark today with another splendid performance with 18 runs and 25 hits. All this with only batting in 5 innings. It was another slug fest in conjunction with a splendid defense by all our players as we held Treeda to only 7 runs. Our hitting was great all down the lineup: Kurt Kanouse had 4 RBI’s, a HR going 3-4. Ron Silberman our sub ss went 3-3 playing splendid defense, Joe Gonski had 4RBI’s, 1 HR going 4-4, Pete Simomeau had 3 RBI’s going 3-3 with a triple. Pete had another splendid consistent pitching performance, Barry Schwartz had 2 RBI’s going 2-3, Dave Martin had 1 RBI going 2-3, Steve Coffman had another great performance going 2-3, Glen Zelkind with 1 RBI going 2-3 while getting a key out in the last inning, Norm Volk 1 RBI 2-3, Joe Sowder 1RBI going 2-3 as Chip White had 1 RBI going 1-3. The most important aspect of this win is we had people on base and our team up/down the line-up drove in runs!!!!! We have a fantastic team if we can avoid injuries, so get to the field before the game and stretch, stretch, stretch.< Game Ball> There was no doubt the game ball goes to Barry Schwartz. Barry made 2 great catches in R field while also throwing out a player at first base!! It did not end there…Barry also had an RBI going 2-3.

Barton Realty - 12 Petelin Vision - 11

Wow!! A great team effort by the Barton Realtors resulted in a one run victory over a very good Petelin Vision team today.

Dale Huffine had a very good day at 3B catching quite a few ground balls and throwing the runners out a first base. Gerry Boesche also had a good day at rover getting the force out at 2B and making good throws to first base. Debbie Bigelow played well at her 2B position. Bob Topham caught some hard-hit line drives at first base for key outs. Sue Cary was her stellar self at shortstop. Catcher Klaus Holt caught a hard throw to get an out at home plate.

Property Sisters could only muster 7 hits in a 13-0 blowout.  It is hard to score any runs with only 7 hits.  Leading the way was:  Chuck Gibson was 1-2.  Yvonne Becker was 1-2.  Bill Clark was 1-2.  Dave Bagwell was 1-2.  Mike Sterricker was 1-2.  Duff Carroll was 1-1 with a base on balls.  Pierre Boudreau was 1-3.  Bob Dye had a base on balls.  Hopefully our bats and defense will come alive in the next game.

  
On a cold windy Wednesday Team Thunderbird came out hot with the bats. The first five batters hit safely and we scored 4 runs super sub Ron Silberman played the last three runs with a deep fly double to right. Ron, Ed, Tom and Joe W. led the team with three hits apiece. Tom had three RBI and Joe W. had two. Charlie,Ray and Lanny each had two hits. Joe J. Paul and Jim had hits. It was a very productive day at the plate but our defensive effort was even better. Lanny and Jim at the corners each made a couple of outstanding catches that led to double plays. Tom played a solid game at shortstop again. Our outfielders fought the wind and caught every chance that came their way. Overall it was an excellent game defensively with Ray recording several strikeouts on his way to pitching a shutout which is very unusual in our league. We want to thank Marilyn for keeping score and Ron Silberman for subbing.

Ranall's Realty - 13 Tride True Pest Mgmt - 7

Another strong game for the Ranalls squad. You know your doing things right when Tride and True has the bases loaded with no outs and only squeaked out 2 runs each time. Pete Simoneau helped his own cause by grabbing a “hot one” on the mound and back to Joe Sowder at first…DP. We also got out of another inning when Dave Martin put the nail in their rally with 2 nice catches, one a liner!!...as Norm Volk played a flawless rover. We continue to hit the ball well with a total of 23 hits (only 5 innings). Dave Martin went 4-4, Steve Coffman had 3 hits, Kurt, Joe, Barry, Norm, Chip and Pete had 2, while the remaining squad had a hit. Our RBI totals were also quite distributed as well: Joe Gonski, Norm Volk and Barry Schwartz had 2 RBI’s each. Along side of that: Steve, Pete, Glen, Chip, Pat and Kurt, Dave had an RBI each. This is a league sign that everyone on Ranalls is a threat! Great signs going forward. Oh, another good pitching performance by Pete Simoneau. Nice job. <Game Ball> I have to give the game ball to Team Ranalls. Everyone played a significant role in this win. There was no single “oh my god” moment of an individual…Our win was determined by the consistent contributions of each person to the value and results of the Team.

Tride & True lost this morning to a defensively strong and hard hitting team - Ranalls Realty. The weather was not a friend to either team as the wind was blowing in and it was a hard, cold wind. The Tride & True team kept within 2 runs until the 6th and final inning when Ranalls scored 4 runs and the exterminators were shut out. Tride & Trues defense played well, turning a couple big double plays and the outfield getting the ball in quickly. Leading hitters for Tride & True were Richard Szymesko (3/3 with 4 RBIs) and Michael Sterriker (3/3 with 1 RBI).

Barton Realtors fought the elements and cold bats by losing to a good hitting Nancy Muslin team today.  Barton's started strong scoring 4 runs in the top of the 1st inning and then went scoreless for the next 3 innings.  In the top of the 5th Barton's scored 3 runs to pull within a run only to give up 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th. In the 6th and final inning, Barton's were unable to push any runs across and lost 12 to 7.  Offensively, as a team we had 19 hits which is a fair amount but not enough to drive in the runs that we needed.  Kim Hurd was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a rbi.  Dale Huffine was 2 for 3 with 4 rbi's.  Mark Glim was 1 for 3 with 2 rbi's.  Debbie Bigelow was 3 for 3.  Fred Swan was 2 for 3.  Klaus Holt was 2 for 3.  Bob Cary was 2 for 2 with a walk.  Bob Topham was 1 for 3.  Gerry Boesche was 1 for 3.  Sue Cary was 1 for 4.  Thanks to Marilyn Leinberger and Yvonne Becker for doing our scorebook.  Also, thanks to Norm Lustig and Norm Volk for handling the umpire duties.  The biggest thanks go to Ron and Catherine Barton for sponsoring our team and giving us the opportunity to play the game that we all enjoy.  

WyYerd Fiber - 11 Treedah Magee Realty - 10

WyYerd came up against a tough Treedah Magee team on a cold and windy day. It was a close game all the way but we were able to put up 1 more run than Treedah for the win. Everyone played well in spite of battling a strong wind but the Star of the game was Randy Selin who had 2 home runs and made some great catches in Left Field. Dorothy had 3 hits everyone else had 2 hits. Thanks to Kris Koch for doing the book and keeping everything running smoothly. Next game is Monday Nov. 11th at 8:30. Dan Maguire has Scoreboard duty after the game.

"Once again Treedah Magee was in this game right down to the top of the seventh and their final out. Treedah scored 10 runs on 19 hits. Mike Kachurak led the way going 4 for 4 and scoring 3 runs. Bob Snelling went 3 for 4 and Fred Lubs, Brian Deherrera, sub Don Cole, Dick Steiman each had 2 hits. Good defense was performed by Dick Steiman, Fred Lubs, and Phil Murray. Bad defense was contributed to Norris Carpenter in the bottom of the sixth by not initiating a double play which would have kept Treedah in the lead going into the last inning. Age may be catching up to the Manager. Overall it was a good competitive game on a very blustery day. Thanks to Marilyn for umpiring and Yvonne for scorekeeping

Colonnade - 15 Liberty Buick - 13

It was a cold and blustery day at the Field of Dreams and I really felt for both pitchers… still Kandi Patrick came thru like a champ, pitching strikeouts in the process! We were trailing the whole game until the fifth inning where we managed to get ahead by a couple of runs. At the top of the sixth - with their strong batting order up - we were able to keep our lead and win the game! Notably 3 for 4 at the plate were Art Molina, Kandi, Don Cleveland and Kirk King - with a boomer out to left field for a triple, driving 3 runs in! Everyone got on base so good hits for all of us. Yay! Thank you to our sub Kat!
