Below is a message from Darrell Maser On Saturday's Scramble
On Saturday June 18 we had our first scramble of the year. We had a beautiful day and all the teams seemed to be evenly matched . I think all the players enjoyed the ball and the supper that followed.
I would like to thank the following people who helped pull this together.
The Lakers, Maverick’s and the Pub. Also Gwenda Scherger and Tammy Hittel for the excellent job on breakfast and supper. Also would like to thank all the others who helped out in the kitchen, looking after the field, and those selling the beer during this event.
Derry did a super job of making the sausage for supper.
Thanks to Randy’s announcing crew as well as Norm for his help with anything that needed doing.
Great job of entertainment provided by and performed by Blaine Lutz, he has one heck of a great voice.
Finally I would like to thank Gerard and Curtis for organizing and making sure everything that needed to be done got done.

The League would like to send out the following acknowledgement
The much needed rain in our City created some water issues for the infield at Lorne Holden Field. Thanks to four dedicated members (Jim Black, Dave Hammel, Sherwin Lehman and Rick Parker) the field was worked into playable conditions. Well over 150 gallons of water were drained off by this bucket brigade. Combined with intensive raking and several bags of absorbent the schedule never missed a game. Hats off to the flood crew!

A quick note from the League:
For those players who have not been receiving the insurance waiver from SPN that their Team Reps have been forwarding to them, please check your spam folder. Many players have reported finding the waiver after they check their spam folder.
League Notices From Jim Black
- For those who have been asking, morning practices start at 9:30 am, Monday through Thursday and will continue to do so for the rest of the season, weather permitting.
- At the coaches meeting on May 31st, it was decided to get rid of the unsecured home plate for safety reasons (i.e. slipping on it). We have, therefore, gone back to the line extending from home plate. If players can remember to always run on the dugout side of the line running from third base to the home line ,all will be well. The restricted area will be clearly marked. If you need more clarity, please talk to your coach or rep.
