Depending on the outcome of Team Eppstein’s game, the two Teams could be tied for the Pink Shirt Award.
Ace reporter Rogzilla will follow with more details. Roger’s feelings got hurt Wednesday night, not sure why. Maybe he will write about it?
Team Lefton played Tuesday- It was close!
Team Lefton played their game against Team Cronstein Tuesday night, without Team Cronstein in attendence. Team Lefton only had 8 players to start the game.It was not until the bottom of the 5th that Team Lefton had a runner reach 3rd base in 0-0 game through 5 innings.
Again no scoring in the 6th even after 3 intentional walks to Dee Harris, Gordy and Billy “I forgot my BP Medication” Kahn, so the 3 Lefton boys would come to the plate. They go 1,2,3. Hmmm?
Well in the top half of the inning Team Cronstein batted around before an out was made. After Jimmy Lefton was pulled in favor of rag arm “CFL”, things settled down. The bleeding stopped, no one else reach base, in a 1,2,3 relief effort.
Team Lefton started the bottom of the 7th with 2 straight hits, the next batter “Willy” hits a high pop-up in the infield, 1 out on a fieder choice, The runner on 1st,Rick Silverman runs from 1st to 2nd and passes. the runner on second “Teddy Ballgame”, 2 outs. The pop-up hits Teddy Ballgame in the head for the third out! Triple Play! Game over! Team Lefton losses again 4-0.
Team Lefton Will win- guaranteed!
Team Lefton, finally gets a chance to play on their home field, 4, away from all the noise and the media. After scoring 15 runs last week, the pitching and defense will now stop the drip, drip, drip to “Pink Shirt” Award. Team Captain, Rick Lefton said, “this is our field, this is our game to win, we will not be denied! It is our destiny!”
