Pretty awesome weather out on the diamonds last night… and the first week where the late games truly had enough light to finish up illuminated… so the heart of the Summer is upon us. Unexplainable traffic and different events hung a light pall over yesterday’s games as well… a lot of people had a hard time making their way to the diamonds… Power Constructions forfeit (by the way) was done properly over a week in advance. This was due to an annual company event… last year we were able to swing a makeup game as we had only the 14 teams, but this year, we were all booked up.

We saw both Ruder Group and theBuzz fall from the ranks of the undefeated… leaving only REX Electric and Clune Construction to carry that no loss pressure at 4-0. Clune meets Kelso-Burnett and REX will run into Ruder Group next week… will another fall? 7 days will give us our answers.

REX Electrics win yesterday was a close 6-5 win over Goettsch while both Gettys Group and Perkins&Will eaked out 2-run wins in what appears to be great games… and perhaps most surprising was that SOM vs. STV ended in an 11-11 tie after 8 innings. I wrote to the SOM Captain that I’m always happy to see winless teams meet as it almost always results in one team picking up a win… but they figured out how to keep things within the 1% of the time category… one way or another it was a game that involved a lot of subs and probably wasn’t a true representation of either team, but they both live to fight another day.

Still looking for the following Captains to opt-in to this Forum’s mailing list (you can do so over to the right); Jason Bramhall & Dan Pierce (Gettys), Sal Pintauro (REX Electric), Matt Ruder (Ruder Group) and Sheldon Hall (STV). If you 5 could do this sooner rather than later you’ll avoid the assault on your inbox that I’ll be unleashing first thing Monday morning.

Pictures are moving along fine… scheduled for next week will be Perkins&Will before their 6 o’clock game and Kelso-Burnett before their 7:15 game… I’ll also be heading over to Diamond 1 around 7 o’clock looking for Power Constructions Jake Basten.

See everyone next week.
