A beautiful Saturday for softball. And on the docket was the big hitting #4 Caribbean Breeze. Always a tall order.
Game one saw the Breeze get out to an early lead, but then their bats went quiet. In the mean time, the Stripes just kept cranking out the hits. Big hitsfrom Andrew and a huge grand slam from Dan proved to be more than we needed. Final Score 18-7. Certainly never expected to mercy-rule them.
Game 2 was more characteristin of our battles over the years. The Breeze got lots of help from our defense this time around. Stripes were up 3 with 5 minutes left, but couldn't make the clock move faster. A newly-energized Breeze put a 6 spot on us in the top of the last inning to go up by 3. Timely hitting on our part though proved to be the difference. Jeff Donald with the big hit, which turned out to be a 2-run homer (inside the park variety (or was it a single and a 3-base error?)) Then with the winning run on second, Diamond Jim Foti lifted a lazy fly ball that was misjudged allowing the winning run to come in. Final 15-14.
Games Monday.

Someone review the tape, did LF get a glove on the ball? I was too busy making for second base to see, but when I was getting underway it sure seemed like he had a long way to go and a short time to get there ...
