     Game 3 - In the final game of the night the Mavericks took on the Copper Coulee Casino Silver Foxes. After the first inning it was 5-4 for the Foxes and it seemed that it could be a high scoring close game. But in the next 5 innings the Mavericks tacked on 8 more runs and the Foxes, despite some good opportunities, were shut down completely. So after 6 the Mavericks led 12-5. But then something happened that the writer of this summary has never been part of  before in his 16 years in the league. In the open inning the Foxes hit every conceivable hole in the field and when the dust had settled, the Foxes had scored 14 runs in their "open" seventh inning. While the Mavericks put a few men on base in their 7th inning, they were unable to cash in any and the final score was 19-12 for the Silver Foxes. For the Mavericks both John Engel and Norm Emann both went 4/4 with Johnny picking up 3 RBIs. Dave Hammel was 3/3 with a walk and 2 RBIs. Delvin Moch was 3/4 with a double, Leon Moch was 2/3 with a sac fly and 5 RBIs, and Derek Nielson with a double and a walk. For the Foxes Darcy Harty was 4/4 and Robert Jensen was 4/5. Trevor Regher was 3/4 with a walk and 5 RBIs, Glenn Kesler 3/4 with 2 RBIs, and super sub Roland Schlenker played a great 2nd base and went 3/4 with a double. Steve Brier went 3/5 with 2 doubles and 3 RBIs and Sam Montoya was 2/3 with a sac fly and 3 RBIs. Sam Montoya got the win on the flat mound and Dan Hamilton took the loss.

July 6:
     Game 1 - Mikes meats Meateors scored an impressive 23-9 victory over the Station Coffee Longshots to square the season series at one. Longshots threatened early and pushed 4 across in the first as new Mikes pitcher Donny”can do it all” Halberg found his footing. After that a 31 hit attack accounted for the lopsided victory. Halberg helped his cause by smacking 2 off the fence in going 4/4. Miles Mayer, Ron Stubbs, Ron Pisoni, Randy Hammel and Darrell Bonagofsky also had perfect nights. Al Martens and Rich Bergen both went 3/3. Beautiful night for ball and thanks the Logos crew for the umping and cooking.
Game Report By Ron Stubbs

     Game 2 - Stewart Optical scored 3 runs in the first inning then had three five run innings in a row to take a commanding 18-1 lead and hung on for an 18-6 win over the E&H Astros. For the Eye Guys Dan Rattai, Jim Stewart, Gord Moore, James Phillips, and Darrel Bonagofsky were all three for three with two of Darrell’s hits being bombs over the fence.  Every other player had at least one hit and scored at least one run in what was a pretty balanced attack. For the Astros the cagey old veteran Frank Merkl went 4-4 while Darrell Jesse was 3-3.  Rob Price was solid on the mound for Stewie’s keeping the big bats of the Astros at bay and not walking any batters. Fred Kelln pitched well for the Astros but it was one of those nights where the opposition batters seemed to find the holes. Another beautiful night at the ballpark, thanks to the Copper Coulee team for all their work on the Diamond, in the concession and up in the booth, and for Darlene for making sure things worked.

It the settled down, the Red Sox scored 2 in the second, one in the third and one in the sixth while holding the Garage Pub scoreless until the top of the 7th when they scored 2, but where unable to push across the tying run so the Red Sox win, the Red Sox win!!
