A Little disapointing, thought today's game would have more drama but it didn't.The Final Score was 13-7 Core defeating Angela's Kitchen in the last game of the season to clinch the Championship in the Saturday League. The game started off like it was going to be a exciting game, each team scored 4 Runs in the First. Then Core shut down Angela's offense with 5 shutout innings, while they scored 9 more Runs. Angela's did manage to plate 3 Runs in the seventh and had 2 men on when the final 2 outs were recorded. Offensively, not our best game, first time we didn't score double digits. Craig Nelson still managed to go 4-4. 2 Runs Scored, Double, Triple and 4 RBI. Howard Sumner from the lead off spot also was 4-4 with 2 Runs Scored. Bruce Lowe had 3 Hits, Dick Nunez and Lester Zirbel 2 Hits each, Nunez 2 Runs Scored, Zirbel 2 RBI. Dave Swanson, Tom Yukunas, Eric Coudret, Marty Jiminez and Jerry Eastman each had a hit. Swanson Run Scored, Courdret Walk, Double and RBI. Great season, thanks to all for making it happen, Umpires, Scorekeepers, all the people that attended the games regardless of the temperature to root for their team. First and foremost the four teams that competed and made it all possible.

In the final game of the Summer Saturday 2 league, the Carrousel Travel team played our best offensive and defensive game of the season and defeated the Karen Olsen Real Estate team 16-11. The win came despite four ꓘ's to the middle of our lineup by the great opposing pitcher Greg "Mr." Church of KORE. In his first game of the session at SS, Greg Allseitz put on an offensive explosion with 11 total bases- a home run, 2 triples and a single with 5 RBI, not to mention a great game at the SS position. Following closely with 3 hits were LC Frank "Sando" Sandomenico, 1st baseman John "the Hammer" Hammel (2 RBI), Rov. Paul "Digger" Larson (RBI) and "Fast" Eddie Campbell (2 RBI). Both 3rd baseman Craig "don't call me Kurt" Warner (RBI) and Daren "live to ride" Proctor (2 RBI) had 2 hits each. Finally, adding a hit and an RBI each were P Michael "Sully" Sullivan, 2nd baseman Dick "CPA" Steiman and LF Danny Wood. A special thanks to sub Catcher Jerry Eastham for playing a doubleheader and drawing a walk to help our cause. "Sully" pitched a great game! Umpires Dave Maligro and Eric Coudret did a great job and Shelly "the Italian Stallion" manned the Tower just perfectly. Many thanks to Nancy Rhoades for keeping our scorebook and husband Curt for helping out the opposition with their scorebook. It was a fun season and a big thank you to the retiring Figueroa's for keeping the league on the right track. Thank you Amy Chlebeck (and hubby Jon) for sponsoring our team.
