     Game 3 - The final game of what has been an extremely hot week of ball saw the Garage Pub Fog play the Bumper to Bumper Blue Jays. The Fog started by scoring one run in the first inning but it could have been more if not for an inning ending double play. The Jays responded with two runs in the bottom half on five singles. The Jays added another run in the second inning after a lead off triple by Mike Peters. The Fog quickly responded by scoring five runs on six hits which included a double by Dallas Deman to take the lead. The Jays recorded two more runs in the third inning and now trailed the Fog by one. The Jays defense held the Fog scoreless over the next three innings while continuing to score in each of their three at bats including a four run fifth inning. The Fog pushed three runs across in their final at bats, but it was not enough as the final score was Bumper to Bumper 13 and the Garage Pub 9.
     Leaders for the Fog were Russ Cameron 2-3, Grant Mackay 2-2, Ron Jarvis 2-3, Sherwin Lehman 2-3, Ken Longmore 2-3 and Daniel Morissette 2-3.
     For the Jays, there were six players going 2-3. Andy Stroh (2 triples), Chad Stahl, Kevin Lane (double), Kerry Buss, Lyle Kennedy and Mike Peters (2 triples).
Vern Herter was the winning pitcher while Bill Chapman pitched well in defeat.

     Game 2 - A beautiful, sunny night at the Field of Dreams, and both right fielders played superb. A close game between Sauers RV Lakers and Juggies Brew House Brewers, the Brewers squeaking out a 13-10 victory. The Lakers came out hot, the Brewers finished hot. We scored 8 runs in the last 2 innings, the Lakers were held off the scoreboard after leading 10-5 after 4 innings. Mike Stroh was a machine for the Lakers, going 4-4, 3 dbls and a triple. The lefties, Mike Shantz and Trevor Fauth both went 3-4. Greg Balas, Walter Pratt, Wilf Broesky and Ken Zollner all had 2 hits. For the Brewers, Mike Ferre, Jeff Davies (with a severe back issue), Jim Dulle and Larry Biko all had 3 hits. Kasey Valkenburg, Tim Mayer and Jamie White were all 2-3. Thanks to our super-sub tonight at the last minute, Rob Jensen, who hit a big RBI double in the last inning that kinda sealed the deal. Thanks also to the Meteors for their excellent volunteer work tonight, and Randy & Gary in the press box.

May 25:
     Game 1 - On the warmest night of the year, Elmer & Harold’s Astros edged the Station Coffee Longshots by a 5 - 2 score. Astros pitcher Kelly Lutz and Longshots pitcher Trent Rasch were both sharp, each giving up 11 hits on the night. For the Astros, Wade Watson, playing in his first game of the year, went 2/2 with 2 rbi’s and 2 great catches in the field. Astros sub Mike Ferre was 2/2 with a triple and a double and 2 rbi’s and Kelly Lutz was 2/3 with 2 rbi’s. Keith Lutz was sharp at shortstop all night. For the Longshots, Cal Mayer and Greg Scott were 3/3 and John McFee was 2/2. Al Martens made several great catches in the field with sun in his eyes. Despite the win, Astros players were sad because their beer guy got the game night wrong and did not show up.

     Game 2 - The first game of the evening was a close defensive struggle but the second game between Juggies and Stewart Optical was definitely not a clinic on defence. The two teams combined for 50 hits and 30 runs as the Eye Guys pulled off an 18-12 victory. Stewart Optical kept their win one lose one streak alive led by the bats of Rob Price, Roland Schlenker and Jim Stewart who all went 4 for 4 including a long ball from Jim.  Daryl Hubick added three hits and six other batters contributed with a pair of hits. 
For Juggies, Todd Toews picked up four hits while Mark Porter, Jeff Davies and Jamie White all added three hits. The game was close until the Eye Guys picked up five in the fifth and sixth innings. 
Probably the nicest night of the season so far for a bunch of guys to get out and play a game we all enjoy. 
Game Report By Jeff Thompson

     Game 3 - On arguably the nicest evening of the season, game 3 of this night featured the Red Sox against the 2026 Bad News Bears errrrrr Sauer RV Storage Lakers. The Lakers were bringing their less than impressive 2 and 4 record into the hottest night of the year against a team that can definitely put up some runs. The Sox jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the first on a couple of singles and a pair of doubles. The Lakers responded quickly with 5 of their own in the bottom of one, large in part because home plate seemed to be the size of a pie plate for the Sox starting pitcher. For the next couple of innings, the Red Sox were kept at bay while the Lakers added a couple more on the board. 8-3 after 3. The Sox then put up a couple in part to a Stark dinger that just got into the first row of seats in right field. The Lakers, who were in snooze mode for a couple of innings then plated 5 in the 5th and 4  more in the 6th to take a commanding 17-7 lead going into the last and open inning. Was it safe? Well let's talk about the Lakers first 6 games of the season. In every contest they were up going into the last inning and in 4 of those they proverbially "pooped their pants" and turned victory into a big fat "L". Senior Slow Pitch you say? Yea but even the 6 or 7 figure studs on TV do the same so we can't feel bad. Plus, we have a lot more fun and our beer is colder. Anyway, back to the top of the 7th.  Red Sox send 9 men to the plate, score 3 runs and leave the bases loaded to put a mini scare once again into the Storage Squad. Final score: Lakers17 Red Sox 10. Besides the Red Sox 3rd baseman who had hit the home run he also contributed 2 doubles. Left fielder Tim Pruden who is in his rookie season had 2 hits and made a catch in  the 6th that will be on TSN highlites later this week. Glen Ebel and Leadoff Lance Knodel also had 3 hits each with Speedy Gonzales Knodel hitting an inside the park homer. For the Lakers, Trevor Fauth, Mike Stroh and Pierre Cote collected 3 hits each to help preserve the Lakers 3rd win. Once again, thanks to all the volunteers for working the evening to help make this the greatest league  anyone could be part of.
