Game 1 - Strong hitting throughout the lineup and some great pitching by cagey veteran Freddie Bohnet led Stewart Optical to a 15-5 win over Station Coffee Long Shots. Every player in the Optical lineup had at least one hit with five different players getting three hits each. Wayne Miller, Blair Hennes and John Engel all had a couple hits each for Station, but some good defensive plays by the Eye Guys kept their runs low. Everyone was glad to see Freddie Bohnet back in good shape feeling like his old self after his scare on Monday night.
