Fan’s delight kicks

In the men’s slow pitch league, Monday’s action was opened by Red Division play, featuring PJ’s and Nate Yoder Construction. This game was a fan’s delight, with lots of runs, lots of hits, a few errors, and a game which lasted 11 innings! Nate Yoder Construction scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the contest at 10-10, and then added four more runs in the bottom of the 11th inning, after PJ’s had scored three in the top half of that frame, to win the game 14-13. Tony Thomay had five hits and Jason Shafer a pair of home runs for the “construction guys,” while Tom Musal and Ralph Yoder paced PJ’s.

The “upset special of the week” went to Wakarusa Electronics, as they garnered their first win of the year over WaNee Merchants, 7-6. Brent Carrick and Jeremy Mast each had a pair of hits for the Merchants, who dropped into second place with the loss.

The Warriors scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to break an 8-8 game, and held on for an 11-8 win and the league lead.
