Game 1 - In the first game of the night Mikes meats Meateors got a balanced attack and great defence to edge the Pub Boys 10-8. Meatheads pushed across 4 in the first then watched as the Pub took a 5-4 lead with four of their own in the third. Mikes regained the lead in bottom of four then Pubbers tied it in their half of the fifth, but Meateors got to in the bottom and held them off in the open inning. Kelly M 3/3 -2rbi, 2/3 nights for a bunch more, great defence from Coondog at first. For Garage Dallas, Jake and Daniel were perfect at the plate, great game.

Game 2 - The Juggies Tap House Brewers got their 2nd win in Aug (we're on a roll!!!), beating the Red Sox 12-7. It was a good game, the Brewers were able to score a few more runs in the later innings to come out on top. For the Sox, Darrell Maser, Derry Eresman and sub Sam Montoya each had 2 hits. Garth Stark had a Grand Salami in the 3rd inning to top off a 5 run inning with his 4 RBI's. Derry and Glen Ebel on the left side of the outfield both made some outstanding catches off of hard hit fly balls. For the Brewers, Mike Ferre and Kasey Valkenburg were both 3-3. Dale Deis, Mark Porter, Todd Toews and Jamie White all had 2 hits. Tood was the star of the show, an inside the park HR and 6 RBI's. Good work Todd. The game was pretty much error-free, good defense by both teams. Sam subbed for the Sox, Daniel (Frenchie) Morisette was the super-sub for the Brewers. Thanks to both. Thanks to the E&H boys for their work tonight, and Jeff & Darlene in the video replay booth.

Game 3 - The final game on this beautiful August night had the scoring of a Manchester United vs Liverpool in the English Premier League. The home squad in this one, the Sauer RV Storage Lakers, played host to the "Something Something Mavericks".
The Mavs scored 1 in the first after a quick 2 outs. Some great pitching by Wilf Broesky limited the damage in not only the first but the entire game. The Lakers chalked one of their own up in the bottom of the first to tie the game. The score remained knotted at 1 until the top of the fourth when the Mavs punched in 2 partly due to a couple of doubles from Lenny Moch and Dale Weisgerber. The Lakers answered with one in the bottom of the inning on a triple by Weasel Stroh and a double by Huggy Sugarshack.
That set the stage for the 6th and last inning. The Mavs went quickly and quietly only mustering one hit. The bottom of the inning brought the top of the order for the RV boys. Leadoff hitter and owner Sauer promptly laced a base hit to right. 2 batters later, the Weasel struck again with a double to put the winning and tying run on second and third. The first star of the game, Scherger Cube laced a base hit in the gap scoring both runners giving the Lakers a 4-3 come from behind win over the Mavericks.
The general consensus was that the last time an entire slow-pitch game had a total of 7 runs is when wood bats were used, and the ball was as soft as a grapefruit.

Game 1 - In the first game of the night the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes played almost error free slo-pitch and had most everyone contributing at the plate to defeat a very strong Stewart Optical Club. Randy Wuerfel and Sam Montoya (last inning relief) combined for the win (in the 6 inning affair) and Rob Price took the loss. The Foxes were able to shut down some possible big innings from the Eye Guys with stellar defence in the infield and outfield. When the shale had settled, the Foxes came away with a 10-5 win. For the Optical Squad Jim Stewart was 2/2 with a double and a walk. Darrel Bonogofsky was 2/2 with a double and Daryl Hubick was 2/2. Darren Emerson (Home Run), Robert Jensen and Boyd Kosolofski were all 3/3 for the Silver Haired Dogs. Six other Foxes went 2/3. Thanks to Randy Hammel for subbing for us again.

Game 2 - The second game on our well attended annual dollar dog day was a low scoring affair between the Bumper to Bumper Blue Jays and the Redi Recycle Rockies. Each team scored two runs in the first inning, but over the next three innings, only the Jays were able to add to the score and that was only one run in the third inning. The Jays were able string together five hits in the fifth inning to score another four runs for a 7-2 lead. The Rockies were able to push across two runs in their final at bat but that wouldn’t be enough as the Jays were able to hold on for a 7-4 victory.
The Rockies were lead by Royce Hopkins (double) and Barry Koch (2 doubles) with two hits each.
For the Jays, Chad Stahl was 3-3 while Andy Stroh, Kevin Lane and Kerry Buss each chipped in with two hits. Paul Jollymour was 1-1 with a walk. Winning pitcher was Tom Baker while Bruce Stuber pitched well for the Rockies.

Game 3 - The final game of Monday night ball at Holden Field featured the E & H Glass Astros hosting the Logos Rebels. It was a defensive battle through the first four innings, with the teams trading leads and keeping things tight. The Rebels held a narrow 5–4 edge heading into the fifth.
That’s when the Rebels’ bats woke up. They pushed across four runs in the top of the fifth and followed it with a seven-run burst in their open inning. The Astros managed just a single run in their half of the fifth and were held scoreless in the final frame. When the dust settled, the Rebels came away with a 16– 5 victory.
Both teams would like to thank Jim N. and Darlene upstairs for their support. A big thank-you as well to the Mavericks and Coffee Station for handling umpire duties and hosting another successful Loonie Hot Dog Night — parking was at a premium all evening.
Special thanks to Brian Conney and Rod Insko for stepping in to fill roster spots for the Logos Rebels.
