Day Two report from Bob Charette: Game 4 - 8:00 a.m. vs Woodland Hitting Club, Florida
Score - Florida 23 - Huff & Puff's 19
The first game of the day saw the H & Ps up against a very good hitting team but stuck with them the whole way except for the open inning where we came up short . The outfielders produced some very good defensive work against a tough sun. Some good hitting by Dave Shauf with a double driving in two runs and an inside the park homer for Keith. Gord D had a three run triple with Rod and Gord Nutley both having big RBI hits as well.
Game 5 - 9:10 a.m. vs Calgary Stingers
Score - Huff & Puffs 13 - Calgary Stingers 1 (mercy after 5 innings)
Our first playoff game saw us playing the Stingers again and we had our offence going. Honourable mention to the defence as well turning two double plays.
Game 6 - 10:30 a.m. vs Edmonton White Socks
Score - White Sox 19 - Huff & Puffs 12
Our third game of the day all back to back saw the H & Ps playing well but starting to feel the heat. Gord D had two triples with 5 RBIs and a triple to Lutz P as well. Some good fielding from Gord N. A good effort by the boys but the Sox are a real good hitting team that wore us down.
That is it for Mesquite this year and will now move to St George for the games. Stay tuned.
