Dynamic Wealth - 13 Liberty Buick - 10

The money managers brought their gloves and bats today against a good Liberty Buick team, although it took a few innings for the bats to kick in. Down 8-1 heading into the bottom of the third, Sal Politi started us off with a triple to spark a four run inning bringing the game back within reasonable reach. We continued to hit and field well, tying the score 9-9 in the fifth inning. Great defense and a 4 spot in the 6th gave us a four run lead into the top of the seventh, and we put the game away with our defense quelling a Liberty Buick rally. Dave Fusaro pitched a great game and was a formidable defensive presence on the mound as well, complementing the solid team wide defense today. Leading our offense was John Hammel (4/4), Dave Fusaro (walk, single, and two doubles), Paul Jinneman (walk, double, two singles), David Power 3/4, Craig Nelson (walk, sac fly, two singles), and Sal Politi 2/3. Ted Schneider, Ron Swanson, Gerry Boesche, and Ted Grove each contributed a hit. Many thanks to our sub Ted Schneider, and to Kris Koch for stepping in on very short notice to keep the scorebook.

"Welp. If you like offense, chaos, and the occasional reminder that gravity is undefeated, then today’s Liberty Buick softball game was an absolute classic. We came out swinging, for sure. Ten runs on the board is usually a pretty solid day at the office. Unfortunately, we also decided to generously contribute to the other team’s total in ways the official box score simply refuses to fully capture. “Comedy of errors” doesn’t quite do it justice—it was more like a full-length feature film, complete with sequels. Defensively, we explored new and innovative approaches to fielding. Routine grounders became suspense thrillers. Pop flies turned into group discussions. At one point, I’m fairly certain we invented a brand-new position called “confused spectator in the infield.” To be clear, the effort was there—just occasionally pointed in the wrong direction. Final score: 13-10. Them. The good news? All of our mistakes are correctable. The better news? We got them all out of our system in one game (at least that’s what we’re choosing to believe). If we can pair today’s hitting with tomorrow’s fielding—specifically, the version where we catch and throw the ball to our teammates—we’re going to be just fine. Thank you to Mike Kachurak for subbing for us. Thank you to Mike Dakak, Brian Pin, Ken Krzeminski, and Sheldon Rosenthal for running the ballgame for everyone."

One Stop Tile - 13 Exclusively Import Auto - 14

One Stop Tile lost to a good Exclusively Imports Auto Repair today. Thanks to our subs David Safran and Norma Lucas for joining us today. On Offense we had 23 hits. Defense Randy Selin had a great catch in right.

The Auto Guys played a very talented One Stop Tile Team and at the start looked dismal for us. It seemed the outfield was constantly running down hits in the alleys. However our defense settled down and we kept chipping away at their lead and by the bottom of the 6th inning we were tied. One Stop had the top of their order up in the top of the 7th and we played great defense and went into the bottom of the 7th tied. Barry Schwartz drove in the winning run in a very exciting game. Kandi (Kane) Patrick pitched an awesome game subbing. Barney Armstrong and Doreen Stevenson also played well subbing. Thanks to Eileen for keeping the books and it was a very fun team to play on.

Petelin Vision - 22 Tride/True Pest Mgmt - 20

The Petelin team this session had a distinct pattern; 1) fall behind early in the game, 2) never give up, and 3) make it be a close game.  Today was the same, behind 10 to 2 after 3 innings, score 4 runs in the 6th and 11 in the 7th to win by 2.  Everyone got on base.  John Lesh was 5 for 5.  Charlie Greer, Phil Hughes and Dan Newman were on base 4 times.  Pierre Boudreau was 3 for 4.  Howard Sumner and Don Cleveland went 3 for 5.  John Bertholdy had a double and a triple.

Today our leading hitter was Dave Fusaro 5-5. Closely followed by Joe Guzzo who was 4-4 with another ""ho hum"" Home run over the left field fence. Joe also led the team with 6 RBIS. Our 3 subs today played well and all contributed with 4 hits each, they were: Ed Deussen, Matt Seeliger and Roger Williamson. Everyone else on the team had at least one hit. Dale and I would like to thank the team for a competitive fun year. Thanks also goes out to the umpiring crew today of Tom Rinehart behind the plate and Jaime Sullivan on the bases. MIke Hirsch did a great job as always in the score tower. Last and certainly not least, a big thanks goes out to Scott Kibby for running the Saturday Copper league sessions.
