May 5 - League Notice of Rule Changes:
Based on recommendations, the Rules Committee the Executive made the following changes for the upcoming year:

1) No substitute runner from home plate,
      (Exceptions only by approval from the league executive)

2) No infield fly rule,
      (We are hoping no infielders abuse this rule)

3) No one can hit, sub or run if they have a substitute player in their place
 (If you have a substitute player in your place you can not go in to hit, run or field

4) Substitutions must follow the A, B, C player format that was used last year. 
        Record substitutions upstairs and report them to Rob Kayfish
       (Failure to follow this format will result in no longer being able to pick up an “A” player

May 3 - Website Notices:
     With the season beginning, a couple of website updates:
  • The player sub list is posted at the right side of the web page, along with a team usage page. As players are used as a sub a line will be put through their name. An " X " will indicate that the player has subbed his 2 times.
  • The team section at the bottom of the page now has clickable links to their respected team pages. The pages are now populated with player names and also Team coaches and Reps.
March 30 - League/Website Notes:

Couple of Website Notes as we near the beginning of the season:
  • All 2025 season information can be found under the "Past Seasons" tab above and clicking on the "2025" Link. I will start to update the right side panel to 2026 information, but thought I would leave for a bit so new players can view.
  • I found another memory card with photos from the Sept scramble, so there are now 4 game play photo sections to view.
June 22:

June 1 - June 4 Scores and Hi-Lites

 
June 4:
     Game 1 - The first game of the evening was not only a pitcher's duel but a defensive struggle. Great plays in the field by players like Paul Savage in Left-Center for the Foxes and Derry Eresman at third base for the Red Sox kept it a low scoring affair. Sam Montoya earned the win, walking no one and striking out three. Boyd Hamm also pitched well in the loss, only walking one and striking out two. For the Red Sox, Derry Eresman was 3/3 with a triple, and Darrell Maser and Boyd Hamm were both 2/3. For the Foxes Robert Jensen, Todd Kopec (double), and Boyd Kosolofski (triple) were all 3/4. Glenn Stenhouse and Sam Montoya were both 2/3. The Silver Foxes out hit the Red Sox 20-11. When the dust had settled the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes prevailed 6 - 4 over the Red Sox.
Game Report By Sam Montoya

     Game 2 - Elmer & Harold’s Astros were ahead by a score of 9 - 5 against Mike’s Meat’s Meateors in the bottom of the 7th inning when a bolt of lightening got too close for comfort. Game over as the skies opened up and the rain pounded down. Credit to the Meteors. They had started the 7th with 2 doubles and driven in one run with nobody out. For the Astros, Rick Parker was 3/3, Frank Merkl, Maurey Salmon, Wade Watson, Darrell Jesse, Bill Ramage, Lutz Perschon and Keith Lutz were all 2/3 with Keith smashing the only home run in the game. For the Meateors, Ron Pisoni was 4/4, Tim Johnson and Harry Noel were 3/3 and Miles Mayer was 2/2 with a walk. Harry took a bad spill rounding second base and was limping badly as he left the field. Hope he is OK. Thanks to all the volunteers up in the booth, on the field and in the canteen.

     Game 3 - Cancelled Due To Weather.

June 3:
     Game 1 - A powerful five-run rally featuring back-to-back-to-back home runs by John Engel, Dave Hammel and Jeff Hall, gave the Mavericks a lead they never relinquished for a 12 - 6 victory over Juggies Tap House. Another outburst for five runs in the fifth inning (all after two outs) secured the win.
Engel smacked two singles to go with his three-run blast. Winning pitcher, Dan Hamilton, also had three hits in three attempts. Team Juggies was, as always, a valiant and worthy opponent.

     Game 2 - Another cool night to play ball, but Station Coffee Long Shots pulled out their second win of the week 11-6 over the Logos Rebels. The Long Shots put up 3 runs in the top of the first and never looked back. Leading the way for the Long Shots were Perry Nurse going 3-3 2 doubles, single, 4 RBIs, Al Martins 3-3 3 singles, Blair Hennes 2-3 triple, double, Rich Bergen 2-3 2 doubles, 2 RBIs, Brian Stonehouse and Greg Scott 2-3 2 singles and a RBI each and Trent Rasch 1-2 single. For the Rebels Darryl Bartman 3-3 3 singles, Bill Martin 2-2 2 singles, RBI, John Unreiner 2-2 2 singles, RBI and Larry Hurrell 2-2 2 singles. Winning pitcher Brian Stonehouse and taking the loss Dean Roy.

     Game 3 - The last game of the night was a low scoring affair. After five quick innings, the Sauer RV Storage Lakers held a 3-2 lead over the Bumper to Bumper Blue Jays with both teams having only eight hits each. The Jays were able to string together five hits including a bases clearing double by Lyle Kennedy in the bottom of the sixth to score five runs and take a 7-3 lead. The Lakers were able to score one run in their final at bat to make the final score Bumper to Bumper 7 and Sauer RV Storage 4.
Mike Stroh was 3-3 (triple, double) and Curtis Scherger was 2-3 for the Lakers. Gerard Hittel pitched a solid game for the Lakers.
For the Jays, Lyle Kennedy was 3-3, Andy Stroh 2-2 (HR, double), Kerry Buss 2-3 and Tom Baker 2-3. Tom Baker with a stellar effort on the mound for the Jays.

June 2:
     Game 1 - Well it wasn't the best weather conditions with cool temperatures and light rain, but the Station Coffee Long Shots pulled out a 9-7 win over the Juggies Tap House crew. Juggies started the game with 3 in the first with a home run by Jeff Davies. The Long Shots scored 2 of their own to keep it close. Juggies scored 2 in the 3rd to go up 5-3, but in the 4th Cal Mayer led off with a double and then 7 straight singles led to 5 runs. The Tap House crew scored 2 in the sixth matched by the Long Shots in the bottom of the inning giving back the 2 run lead. The Long Shots stopped the Tap House in the top of the 7th for the win. Leading the way for the Long Shots was Cal Mayer going 3-3 double, 2 singles, Blair Hennes, Al Martins, Perry Nurse and Greg Scott all going 2-3 2 singles and Wayne Miller, Rich Bergen and John McFee all going 1-2 with singles. For Juggies Tim Mayer 3-3 3 singles, Dale Deis  2-3 double, single, Kasey Valkenburg, Jamie White and Paul Savage 2-3 all singles. Winning pitcher Trent Rasch and taking the loss Jim Dulle.

     Game 2 - On a wet, cool night, Elmer & Harold’s Astros topped the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes by a score of 14 - 8. For the Astros, Frank Merkl and Rick Parker were 4/4, Keith Lutz was 3/3 with a walk and Dave Sawatsky was 2/2 with 2 walks. For the Foxes, Robert Jensen was 3/4, Glenn Kessler, Darcy Harty and Todd Kopec were all 2/3 with Todd hitting the only home run in the game and he made a great catch in the field to prevent multiple runs from scoring. It also has to be noted that Jim Black, a young 82 year old, played a triple-header tonight. When asked by a TSN reporter how he felt after playing 3 games, he replied, it was like a walk in the park.

     Game 3 - Mikes Meats joined by Cooper Coulee and E&H subs combined to take down the Recyclers 16-7. All subs had big contributions especially the three run bomb from Todd Kopec. Winning pitcher Tim Johnson helped his own cause going 3 for 4. Don Halberg and Clint Santer also had 3/4 nights, for Redi Barry Koch was 2/3 with a dinger while Keith Bender, Kevin Friesen, Keith Kleckner and Gord Deibert all had a couple hits. Surprisingly not a bad night for ball and thanks to the Pub boys for umping, cooking and Darryl up in the booth.
