Game 2 - A very close game for our 2nd game of the night, with Juggies TapHouse Brewers outlasting the Logos Rebels, 13-10. The Brewers started out hot, scoring 8 runs in the first 3 innings, cooled off a bit, then scored 5 in the 6th, for a total of 13 runs. The Logos struggled to score in the 1st 5 innings, then got hot in the 6th and 7th, to make the game close. A close play at the plate for our 3rd out in the 7th finally snuffled out the rally. Both teams were very close in hits, 21 hits for Logos and 22 for Juggies. Leading hitters for the Rebels were Ron Jarvis, Chris Wandler and Pudge Bartman, all with 3 hits. Danny Stevenson had a HR in the 2nd inning. Players with 3 hit nights for the Brewers were Dieter Stanke, Blaine Lutz, Jamie White and Todd Toews. Todd also made his debut in the OF, playing LF, and made a couple outstanding catches to keep us in the game. A good game by 2 very evenly matched teams. Thanks to the Station boys for umping and serving up our feast for the night, and too Randy and Gary in the press box.

Game 2 - This was a very exciting game to watch as a fan and a player as the lead changed hands more than a good poker hand. The game was tied at Lucky 7 after 4 innings and the Sauer RV Lakers took a 14-13 lead after 6 innings. The Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes didn’t call the Sauer RV Lakers Bluff and scored 1 run in the bottom of the 7th inning to tie. The Sauer RV Lakers went under on the over but couldn’t get a run in the bottom of the not so Lucky 7th inning. Each team ended up with double 7’s for the tie, with a carry over and no payout.
The Silver Fox Gamblers who went 3 for 3 were Glen Stodolka (HR), Wade Watson, Sam Montoya and Darren Emerson. Randy poker dealer Kambeitz and Darren the chip runner Emerson went 2 for 3 with a home run each.
The Sauer RV Storage Lakers had 9 players who went 2 for 3 included was Jiggers Barry Koch (HR), Darrell that’s something Maser (in the park HR), Majority owner Kevin Sauer who made a diving catch in the 7th inning to keep the Silver Fox gamblers at the table, Lutz Perschon, Good Moore, Darren Heinz and Clint Kleckner.
Another great job done by Mike’s Meats who cooked the best burgers in town and for the umps who were making and taking side bets while the game was going on. Also thanks to the announcing and scorekeeper who kept all the cards on the score clock.

Game 1 - The RV storage Lakers did not want a repeat of last weeks silence of the lambs game where they only scored 1 run but only gave up 3.
The RV Lakers got off to a good start by getting one more run in the first inning than they did in the previous game.
The main story of tonight's tilt was a 15 - 7 win for the Sauer RV Lakers. The game featured, 2 - 5 run innings (4th & 6th) by the Sauer RV Lakers vs 1 by Elmer and Harold's in the bottom of the 7th.
Elmer & Harold's did win the home run derby with 2 home runs by Boom Boom Kelly Lutz, fresh off baby sitting duties during the day VS 1 home run by the most important guy on the Sauer RV Lakers team Bam-Bam Barry Koch (Beer Guy), who took the day off to rest up for tonight's game. Some good pitching by Gerard Hittel, 2 hard but easy fly balls caught by Clint Eastwood Kleckner and a couple nice plays from our rovers (Strict Owner Kevin Sauer and Wilf Carter Broesky) to force 2 critical outs at second base.
If the teams would have listened to the forecast this afternoon, the Lorne Holden Field gates would have been locked, the grill would have remained stone cold, and the Umps would have not been able to wear the reflective gear, instead of eye wear.
Another great Job by the cooks, umps and fans.
