The Morrison Mavericks rebounded from an early 7 - 4 deficit to defeat Stewart Optical by a score of 15 to 7. The Mavs' stingy defense held the heavy Optical sluggers off the scoreboard over the final four innings. Notable catches were made by the corner men, Gerry "Too Tall" Tessman and Brent Carson, as well as Chris Wandler, Jim Phillips and the amazing game-ending catch by Sherwin Lehman.
The Mavericks were again led on the offensive side by Rick Parker with a single, double and a towering homer to knock in four runs in total. Carson and Roland Schlenker each had three RBIs. "IRod" Insko bashed out two singles and scored twice.

After 2 innings it was 5 to 4 for the Lakers then 9 to 4 for the Lakers after 3 and 14 to 9 after 4. The horn went and then the 2 coaches played a game of Rock Paper Scissors to have the open inning as the 5th. Even the cooks in the kitchen were confused. The game ended up 16+2 for the Lakers VS 10-1 for the new E & H Astros.
The Lutz brothers and coach Ramage went 2 for 3 for the Astros.
Barry knock the door ginger Koch went 4 for 4 at the plate along with 2 HR’s, joining Boom Boom Koch was 4X4 Darrell Bonenfant coming in at 7’2” while playing 1st base. Lutz sneaky Perschon also went 3 for 4 at the plate.
The catch of the night was by Brian Hoffner who ran 1/2 way home to Liebenthal to catch a fly ball.
The Astro’s fell short tonight due to no metal garbage cans that have actually been used in a few critical wins.
Thanks to Tom Baker, B player and Vern Herter C, player for helping the Lakers with the win over a very strong newly Astro’s team.
Thanks again to the umpires who were 99.9% accurate.

The game was Sponsored by Meatloaf and his # 1 hit “On a Hot Summers Night” the Lakers defeated the Whiskey drinkers from South ridge. 14 to 7.
South Ridge came out early with 2 runs in the first while the Lakers stumbled with no runs in the first but came back with 5 runs in the 2nd. The whiskey drinkers got 1 in the 3rd, 2 in the 4th ,1 in the 5th and 6th but it wasn’t enough to hold the sober Lakers who continued with another 9 runs.
Dan Rattai went 3 for 3 for the Southridge & Wine while 6 of his other compadres went 2 for 3.
The Lakers had strong pitching, good defense and a few great catches in the field. One was also looking into the sun but he caught it by catching the black ball as he described it. He should book an appointment at Stewart optical to get his Color’s coordinated correctly. The Lakers had 1 Home Run by Huggy Scherger who reached first play on the HR. That was 1 in a row for him since he came off IR or since the beginning of the season.
Brian Hoffner and Kieth Lutz (C player) went 3 for 3 at the narrow plate, while 5 other Lakers went 2 for 3. I know the math is right because we used the Gusintas for our addition.
Thanks to the umpires who went 8.5 for 9.

The last game of the evening featured the visiting Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes and the Trackside IPA's, with the IPA's winning a close game, 10-7. Trackside had their full 14 players on the bench tonight, which is always nice to see, so everyone only got up to bat twice except for our lead-off hitter, Craig Smith, who managed 3 at bats. In these shortened 6 inning games, you better make the most of your appearances at the plate, because there aren't very many when you have a full team. Our all-stars tonight were Deiter Stanke and Al Martens, both 2-2 and each with a HR. Kasey Valkenburg, Brian Stonehouse and Jamie White were also 2-2. For the Foxes, Ken Wou, Randy Wuerfuel, Sam Montoya and super-sub Lorne Knodel all had 2 hits. Thanks to the depleted Red Sox crew (same guys) for running the show, and to President Black and his First Lady up in the press box.

The Garage Pub defeated the Station Coffee Long shots 6-2. Lead by the return of Hugh English, and the great pitching from Doug Roberts, and a 3run homer from Danny Stevenson didn’t hurt either. We played great defense holding the Long shots to 2 runs.

In a game that featured good defense on both sides of the diamond, it has to be noted that both pitchers, Jim Fink and Super Sub Rod Insko, kept all the hitters within the ballpark tonight. Highlight hitters for Copper Coulee were Ken Weu and Sam Montoya each batting 1.000 and on the E&H side, Kelly Lutz, Keith Lutz and Bill Ramage accomplished the same feat.
