WWW GAME: Hi Guys,
That stands for Wild-Willy&Windy. I will take the win. Nothing was routine in this game, it was an adventure especially in the outfield. We had some good hitting, Bob Logterman, Don Barry,Dave Snow & Gordie Nicholson all were 3/4. Charlie Riggs and Frank Maday 2/3, good hitting guys. The Thunders manager Terry Penrod played a smart game against our power hitting team, switching and rotating players accordingly, but in the end it came down to an error and we managed to squeeze a run across in the bottom of the 7th, that was when we took our 1st lead , and won the game. In a game like this usually a good defensive play will make a big difference and in the top of the 7th, Gordie Nicholson was able to spring from behind the plate and pick up two dribblers, and make to excellent throws to 1st base to record the first two outs of the 7th inning, we all know that 90% of the time those squibblers became base hits. Dave Bronte also contributed with two doubles. Bob Russell won the battle of the pitchers only 2 walks compared to there pitcher which walked 4, I give credit to both pitchers, because it was tough pitching in that cross wind.
