Game 1 - The first game tonight was a battle between 2 hard hitting teams (well, most of the time, but not always), and Juggies TapHouse Brewers prevailed tonight over E&H Astros, 13-7. The Lutz brothers participated in a home run derby, and all 3 of them didn't disappoint. Kelly, Keith had 2 run dingers and Blaine's was good for 3 RBI's. Dieter Stanke for the Brewers also participated, but his was a "in-the-park" variety, and when he gets wounds up, don't get in his way. He's like a running back when he hits his stride. The Astros actually out-hit the Brewers, 15-13, but they left more men on base than we did. It's not very common when a team gets 13 runs with only 13 hits. Kasey Valkenburg was 3-3 for Juggies, as was Jim Cooper for E&H. A good, fun game, nice to see "Big" Al Dyck back on the field after a year off and some recent medical issues. Thanks to the Redi boys for working tonight.

Game 2 - The 2nd game of the night featured the "AAA" undefeated meat squad, Mike's Meats, against the Sauer RV Storage Lakers. The Meateors were coming off a close one run victory Monday night against the "Eye Guys" while the Lakers were still licking their wounds from a 2 run loss to the newly improved Logos Rebels. Although the Lakers were without "Jeter Scherger" who is out dodging icebergs in the Pacific on the way to Alaska, they found a way to dig deep and come up with a defensive gem that stymied the meat boys all night. Big catches by "Warning Track Maser", "Clint Kleckner", and the pride of Dorintosh, "Coondog" kept the Meateors from scoring in critical situations. The Meateors were paced by great plate appearances from Darrell Bonogofky who was 3/3, Paul King 2/3, and Ron "Stubby" Stubbs who was not only 2/3 but made a circus catch in left center to keep the game in reach. The Storage Squad banged out 22 hits en route to the 11-5 victory. Wally Pratt was perfect on the night going 3 for 3, "Darren Heinz 57" 3 for 4 and Lutz "Base Running " Perschon 2 for 3. 'Beer Guy Kochy" also had a monster night with a first inning dinger then added 2 more singles as the game progressed. Next action for the Lakers is Monday night against the Redi Recycle Rockies. Game time 5:30.

Game 1 - Finally we had a beautiful night to play baseball. The Garage Pub were challenging the Cross Town Red Sox. At the end of 6 ½ innings the Red Sox prevailed 11-9. Now fellow readers for the really good stuff!! The Pub were led by the following...Mike Ferre 3 for 3, Andy Stroh 2 for 3 including a 2 run home run, Kerry Buss, Mark Porter, Brent Carson, Tim Seitz, Ken Kallis, Dan Hein who all were 2 for 3. For the Red Sox...On a night where 100% of the time Todd (Hit it on a rope) Kopec's 2 three run home runs would have been the main headline (even his dog Murphy was doing celebration pacing) it was unfortunately overshadowed by Brian (high heat) Stonehouse collecting the win and becoming the winningest pitcher in Red Sox history ...(insert tongue in cheek). Brian being the humble person he is did not want this to be known. Other leaders for the Red Sox were...Lorne Knodel, Derry Eresman, Boyd Hamm, Leroy Friesen, Glen Ebel, Larry Hurrel, Brian Stonehouse all going 2 for 3 at the plate. Until the next Red Sox victory!!
