Mesquite Final Report Oct 12:
The Mesquite Sr Games is over for the Hunn n puffs 65's, heading to St George with the silver medal. We defeated the AB Grizzlies in a great game, scoring the needed 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th for a 18-17 victory. Very well played game by both teams and lots of fun. Our leading hitters for the game were Dean Roy, Dave Hammel, Cal Mayer, Leon Moch, Dery Eresman and Ron Stubbs, all with 3 hits. The rest of us chipped in for a 32 hit attack. Brian Stonehouse was the winning pitcher.
The final game was against the Road Warriors, a very good team from the Phoenix area. We got tired and got hammered, they mercied us in the bottom of the 5th. The final score was 23-8. Trent Rasch pitched a good game, but we didn't give him much help, both in the field and at the plate. Our first 3 innings were 1-2-3 outs, we ended up with only 10 hits total. That won't win many games. We give the AZ boys credit, they were a good team that hit the ball hard.
It was a good warmup for the Huntsman. Our first game is Monday afternoon at 5:50, then play immediately after at 7:10.
