September 2010 News Archive
 September 1st - Wednesday - A total of 41 games have been played this off season. The American League age players (67 and below) have had 38 off season games. The 2010 National League season ended early and that league of players had three off season games while the American League season continued.
At any rate, listed are leaders through 41 off season games.
* - Must have played over one half of the games. Note: The statistics are only as accurate as the score sheets. September 3rd - A total of 32 players signed in at the old ballpark for the game. As a result, there were three teams. One of the squads sported 10 players so someone on the sitting team subbed on defense.
George Radlein pitched for the only winning team this morning. That squad scored 22 but gave up only 11 runs while on defense. Sam Harrell started for the home team and was relieved by Larry Powell. Sam who was the pitcher of record, since six scored and 10 were allowed. While Larry was on the mound, eight runs crossed the plate and 12 were given up while the team was on defense. Dick Sessink was on the mound for the team that scored 11 and surrendered 14 runs. 
LEADING HITTERS: Brent Alumbaugh: 4 for 4 with 1 homer, 2 triples, & 1 double. Wayne Mundy: 4 for 5. George Radlein: 4 for 5. Regis Finnegan: 3 for 4 with 2 triples, 1 double, & 1 walk.

September 7th - The three team game was played under mostly cloudy skies and a comfortable breeze. The probability of showers is high as the day progresses but no rain was forecasted in the morning hours.
Team One opened the game with two runs in the first but was stymied in the second inning. Lead off batter Tim Gallagher started with a base hit to right centerfield but was forced at second when the next batter grounded to rover Vassurl Bess. A single by Russ King moved 
the runner along to second base. In almost the same fashion as the first out, Wally Granger forced Russ out at second when Gale Doty scooped up a grounder. Afterwards, Doug Chamlee and Tom Wise each singled to drive in a run apiece.
The middle team batted only four men in the first, Raul Torres had a two out single, but did push across two runs in the second frame. George Radlein, Marty Martinez, Angel Merced, and Richard Marino all singled before the first out was recorded, and by that time, both runs had touched home plate. The home team managed one run in each of the first two innings. Dean Schapeler, perfect at the plate today with a 4 for 4 performance, singled after the first two batters made outs. Jim Laffoon singled Dean to 
third with an opposite field shot, and a base hit by Kirk Coffman chased Dean the rest of the way home.
The bottom half of the lineup for Team Three came through with a run in the second frame. Vassurl Bess walked and a Sam Harrell single moved Vassurl to third. The next batter popped up to shortstop Wayne Mundy. Gale Doty followed with an RBI single. That was a good thing for the home team because the next hitter forced Sam Harrell out at third when Wayne Mundy picked up the grounder and flipped to third baseman Marty Martinez for out number two. The lead off batter then made the last out by lining out to rover Ken Ota. All three teams bettered their run production of the first two innings in the third. After Tim Gallagher and Ron Butler each singled in the top of the third inning, Russ King had a base hit to rightfield. But that wasn't the end of the story. The ball rolled under the glove between the outstretched legs of the fielder and continued its trek almost all the way to the warning track. Needless to report, Russ and the other two runners on the bags all scored on the three base error. Gene Baker opened the middle of the third with a base rap. That turned over the lineup. Lead off hitter Larry Powell also singled. Wayne Mundy noticed the right centerfielder had 
cheated in on him so he sailed one over his head for an inside-the-park homer. After the bases were cleared, Raul Torres got aboard on a miscue and Regis Finnegan had a base hit, which moved Raul to third. After the next batter popped up to shortstop Russ King, Marty Martinez drew a walk to load the bases for Angel Merced. Angel lifted a sacrifice fly ball to left centerfield but it was dropped. The fifth run scored on a Richard Marino single.
Team Three scored five to tie the middle team after three innings of play. Fred Dampier began with a double and scored when Dean Schapeler singled. A double by Jim Laffoon moved Dean to third base and a base rap by Kirk Coffman knocked in two runs. Before the inning was finished, Sam Harrell had an RBI double up the middle. John Merritt singled home the fifth and final run of the third frame. Things quieted down for the teams after the first three innings, but the home squad had to rally in the last frame to pull out a victory. Sam Lopez singled to start the bottom of the seventh and Dean Schapeler doubled Sam home when he connected for an opposite field two bagger. The final score was 9-8-10. Sam Harrell and Dick Sessink each recorded a notch in the win category. George Radlein pitched for the team that scored eight runs but surrendered 10 while on defense. LEADING HITTERS: Dean Schapeler: 4 for 4 with 1 triple & 1 double. Reg Barnes: 3 for 3. Angel Merced: 2 for 2 with 1 sacrifice fly. Tim Gallagher: 3 for 4. Russ King: 3 for 4. Larry Powell: 3 for 4. Wayne Mundy hit an inside-the-park homer on Fred White Field this morning. Angel Merced returned to the old ball field after an extended absence. Welcome back, Angel. September 10th - The skies were sunny and it was somewhat warm because of the still air. A slight breeze swept the field but not often enough.
Team One in the three team contest couldn't muster much of an offense during the game. They did put their hits together in the fifth inning and scored five of the seven total runs for the contest. The leadoff batter reached base on a misplayed ball at first and Sam Lopez walked to put two men on base with no hits. Ron Butler, Angel Merced, and Clair Auchey 
all singled after the free pass. Ron Thompson then became the second base runner to get aboard from a walk. An RBI single by Larry Wells kept the rally alive. In the meantime, Ron Thompson attempted to score from second base but was thrown out at home. Left centerfielder Neil Gelpi relayed the ball to shortstop Brent Alumbaugh, who threw a strike to catcher Joltin' Joe DeForge to nail the runner. There were no more scoring opportunities after that nice play.
The home team fared better than the first squad but still was over two touchdowns below Team Two. Brent Alumbaugh homered in his first two trips to the plate. The first one was a three run shot. Rich Moots 
and Frank Acevedo had each singled beforehand. The second homer for Brent occurred in the second frame. Once again, that was a three run dinger. Joltin' Joe DeForge had reached on a misplayed ball in the infield and Frank Acevedo singled to set the table for Brent.
Team Three hit the old pill around in the fourth for five runs and tied Team Two for the lead. Kirk Coffman opened up with a base hit and scored. He also singled later in the inning to drive home the fifth and final run. After the first hit by Kirk, rightfielder Lee Baker caught a fly ball from the bat of Brent Alumbaugh for out number one. Sam Harrell singled after the out but was forced at second when Ed Neumyer hit a grounder to second baseman Reg Barnes. Reg flipped the ball to shortstop Chris Constantine for the second out. No runs had scored yet. Gale Doty then singled. He ended the day with four hits in five trips to the plate. A misplayed grounder allowed Joltin' Joe DeForge to get on base and three straight singles followed the third out that wasn't executed. Rich Moots, Frank Acevedo, and Kirk Coffman all punched out base raps. As mentioned earlier, the hit by Kirk knocked in the fifth run to tie the leading team. The second squad turned on the offense this morning. They began with five runs in the first and also scored the maximum runs in the fifth and sixth frames. An eight run seventh inning was icing on the cake. Tom Wise belted out 
four singles in four at bats. Marty Martinez scored five runs and went 5 for 6 with a double. Richard Marino also went 5 for 6. Rich has been hitting the ball very well lately and had several RBIs in the game today. Dan Davis hit well, too. He hit safely three times out of four and drew a walk.
Joel Freedman put his scorekeeping pencil down for two batters as he filled in at first base when that fielder had to take a break from the heat. Joel had no chances at first although he was anxious and ready for some action. The final score was a lopsided 7-29-11. George Radlein was on the mound for the most dominating team. Sam Harrell also recorded a victory. Ted Granoski pitched for the team that scored seven runs but allowed 29 while on defense. Ted was injured on a play in the fourth inning. At that time, his team had scored two but had given up 11 runs. LEADING HITTERS: Tom Wise: 4 for 4 with 1 walk & 1 sacrifice fly. Marty Martinez: 5 for 6 with 1 double. Richard Marino: 5 for 6. Rich Moots: 5 for 6. Gale Doty: 4 for 5. Brent Alumbaugh: 5 for 6 with 2 homers. Neil Gelpi: 3 for 4 with 2 doubles & 1 walk. Dan Davis: 3 for 4 with 1 walk & 1 sacrifice fly. Brent Alumbaugh hit two inside-the-park homers on Fred White Field this morning. Bob Zelazny didn't play today and volunteered to umpire behind the plate. Thank you Bob. Clair Auchey joined the game after some time on the DL. He had taken off to heal a sore heel. Welcome back, Clair. Al Andrews returned from West Port Island, Maine. Welcome back, Al. September 14th - The temperature is expected to reach 95° F before the day is over so it was warm at the old ballpark this morning. The slight breeze helped kept the players from dehydrating during the game.
Team One did all their scoring in the first four innings of the seven frame contest. Al Andrews was penciled into the leadoff slot and singled in his first at bat. Ron Thompson followed with a free pass. A base hit by Wayne Mundy sent Al around to score, and a sacrifice fly from the bat of Bob Zelazny knocked 
in Ron for the second run. Frank Acevedo pulled a single to leftfield but Wayne was out at home when opposing shortstop Don Witmer took the relay throw and fired to catcher Lee Baker for the out at the dish.
The first team wasn't finished with their offense yet, though. Base raps by Ted Granoski and Doug Chamlee pushed the third run home. The inning came to an end when a grounder by Tom Wise forced Doug out at second. Rover Sam Harrell took the throw from Vassurl Bess on that play. The middle team managed one run on three hits. Marty Martinez had a one out single and advanced to third when Ron Butler singled. The two out base hit by Pat Accetta brought Marty in to score. The home team scored their initial run the hard way. Raul Torres and Sam Lopez each singled to begin the inning. Don Witmer forced Sam out at second when he grounded out to second baseman Reg Barnes. Reg flipped the old pill to rover Larry Powell as Raul moved to third base. Neil Gelpi coaxed a walk but he 
was forced at second base when Vassurl Bess grounded to shortstop Brent Alumbaugh. Raul scored on the second out.
The first two batters recorded outs to start the top of the second before Gene Baker had a base hit. Al Andrews and Ron Thompson both found their way home for the second time in as many at bats. They each singled their way on base. Hits by Wayne Mundy, Bob Zelazny, and Frank Acevedo followed. Three runs crossed the plate for the first team in the second but they were shut down in the third. After a goose egg in the middle of the second, Fred Dampier doubled towards rightfielder Richard Marino and went around to score when Ron Butler had a base hit. Dean Schapeler had the only hit for the home squad in the second but the team opened fire in the third with a little help from the defense. The first batter grounded out to third baseman Marty Martinez before Raul Torres reached base on a dropped ball in the outfield. Sam Lopez walked after the miscue. Sam would also draw a walk in his last trip to the plate. Don Witmer and Neil Gelpi both had base hits following the free pass. A second error occurred when Vassurl Bess hit a grounder. That would have been the third out but the inning continued. Singles by George Radlein and Dean Schapeler drove home the fourth and fifth runs. After three innings of play, the score stood at 6-2-6. The first and third teams were deadlocked. The last run for Team One came in the fourth frame. Gene Baker singled for the second consecutive time but was out at second when Al Andrews hit a 
hard grounder to third baseman Sam Lopez. Sam threw to rover Sam Harrell for the out. The next batter, Ron Thompson, also grounded into a fielder's choice. Shortstop Don Witmer fielded the ball and touched second for the unassisted out. With two outs in the books, Wayne Mundy singled and Bob Zelazny hit a two bagger to score Ron.
The low team on the totem pole had their brightest inning in the game. Pat Accetta reached base on a misplayed ball to open the middle of the fourth. He was out at second when Dick Sessink grounded to shortstop Wayne Mundy. Wayne threw to rover Ron Thompson for the out at second. Kirk Coffman stepped to the plate and smashed a hard liner towards leftfielder Tom Wise. While Tom could not find the handle on the ball, Kirk circled the bases for a two run, inside-the-park homer. One more run scored in the middle of the fourth frame. Larry Powell had a base hit and made it to third when the next batter, Reg Barnes, reached base on a misplayed ball in the infield. Reg advanced to second on the play. John Merritt also got aboard on an error in the infield. That miscue scored Larry from third base. The score was 7-5-6 after five innings were in the books. The home team sealed the victory in the sixth frame. Four runs scored on two 
hits, one walk, and two errors. Vassurl Bess drew a walk to open the innng and George Radlein got on base when an outfielder couldn't make the catch. A booted ball in the infield got Dean Schapeler on base, too. Singles by Larry Wells and Rich Moots were crucial and well timed. The inning ended on a 6-11-3 double play ball. Shortstop Brent Alumbaugh scooped the grounder, tossed to Larry Powell, and Larry completed the twin killing when he threw accurately to first baseman Pat Accetta.
The final score was 7-5-10. Two pitchers recorded victories in the game. George Radlein pitched for the team that scored 10 and gave up seven runs. Ted Granoski threw six innings for the team that scored seven runs and surrendered five while on defense. Sam Harrell was on the mound in the seventh and gave up no runs to record a save.

Kirk Coffman hit the only inside-the-park homers on Fred White Field this morning. September 17th - The three team game was contested on Fred White Field.
The home team broke open for eight huge runs in the fourth inning after being shut down by opposing pitcher George Radlein. Roger Edwards and Neil Gelpi each slammed doubles while Don Scarbrough came through with an inside-the-park home run. In the end, the big inning by the home team just was not enough as the middle team was more consistant throughout the game.
George Radlein was on the mound for the team that scored 16 and surrendered 13 runs. Ted Granoski and Dick Sessink pitched for the other two teams but neither team was successful enough to log a victory.

He played for the middle team and had two hits in four trips to the plate. Welcome back, Bill. September 21st - The ball players came out in droves this morning as a total of 38 signed in for the games. The numbers were not quite enough to merit four teams so a three team contest took place on Fred White Field.
The evenly matched teams battled for seven innings. The first squad began with a pop up to shortstop Brent Alumbaugh. After the initial out, Ron Butler doubled and moved to third when Don Scarbrough reached base on a misplayed ball in the infield. A double by Wally Granger sent both baserunners homeward bound. The third 
and final run scored when Russ King punched a single to right centerfield.
The next inning didn't go as planned. Team One went three up and three down. The first of three strikeouts recorded by opposing pitcher George Radlein was the last out of the second frame. The middle team opened with a strong offense. The first three batters, Clair Auchey, Bill Ravo, and Don Witmer, each banged out base hits. With two men on base and one run home, clean up hitter Dean Schapeler hit a gapper inside-the-park home run. One more scored when Doug Chamlee got aboard on a dropped ball and scored on a Pat Accetta base knock. Doug pulled in at second as a result of the outfield error. A pinch runner scored on the hit. The middle team also managed to score in the second inning. Dick Sessink got aboard on a miscue in the infield and took a pinch runner. A base rap by Richard Marino moved the runner to third and Gale Doty had an RBI single. The home team put up a goose egg in the opening inning but fared better in the second 
frame. Angel Merced and Carl Luebking each doubled to begin their offense. George Radlein drove home the second run for the good guys.
After two innings of play, the score read 3-6-2. Team Two was looking like the big dog for the day. Ten runs combined to score for Team One in the third and fourth frames. The top of the lineup did their job in the third after the first two batters made outs. Raul Torres connected for an opposite field double before Ron Butler and Don Scarbrough singled. Wally Granger doubled for the second time in two at bats to knock in two runs. Wally ended up with three two baggers for the day. Singles by Russ King and Larry Powell finsihed off the third. Back-to-back-to-back base hits by Reg Barnes, Sam Harrell, and Ted Granoski welcomed the defense in the top of the fourth inning. The next two batters were gifts as the infield made errors. Rich Moots and Vassurl Bess, recipients of the blunders, each went around to score. A double from the bat of Raul Torres assured Team One of that feat. Team Two batted only five men in the third but one found his way home. Don Witmer singled, advanced to third on a Dean Schapeler base hit, and scored on a ground out by the next batter. Two hits and two errors allowed the middle team to look good. Larry Wells singled as did Gale Doty but Gale was a victim of a double play ball. Second baseman Reg Barnes scooped up a grounder, flipped to shortstop Don Scarbrough to get Gale out at second. Don fired to first baseman Russ King to end the inning. The home team failed to score in the third. Sam Lopez started the fourth frame with a bases on balls. The second of three doubles by 
Brent Alumbaugh move Sam to the corner. Carl Luebking had a two out single to drive two runners home.
There was a new sheriff in town after four innings were in the books. The score now stood at 13-9-4. The home team was having problems but would push closer in the sixth inning. The final three frames were not as productive for the three teams except for the huge sixth inning by the home team. By that time, they were down 11 runs. Gene Baker lead off with a base hit and Kirk Coffman followed with a base hit of his own. The off season leader in triples, Sam Lopez, crushed a ball for another three bagger before Brent Alumbaugh doubled. Angel Merced doubled, too. A two out single by George Radlein drove in the sixth run. Way to go guys! The final score was 16-13-10. Ted Granoski and Dick Sessink each picked up wins for their team. George Radlein pitched for the team that scored 10 runs but allowed 16 while on defense. LEADING HITTERS: Ron Butler: 4 for 4 with 2 doubles. Wally Granger: 3 for 3 with 3 doubles & 1 walk. Dean Schapeler: 3 for 3 with 1 homer. Brent Alumbaugh: 3 for 3 with 3 doubles. Don Witmer: 3 for 3. Dean Schapeler hit the only inside-the-park home run on Fred White Field today. September 24th - While the previous game date sported an excessive number of players for the three team contest, barely enough showed to merit three teams for the game today. There were nine players on two teams and 10 on the third squad.
On paper, it appeared to be an evenly matched battle. But that is not the way things played out. Team Two obliterated the opposition as they 
scored 12 of the total 17 runs marked on the scoreboard.
Two pitchers held the opposition to a single digit run production. The pitching performance of Bobby Ayers was overshadowed by the dominance of fellow moundsman Ted Granoski. Bobby allowed only four runs in seven innings, gave up 10 hits, and recorded two whiffs. Ted, on the other hand, surrendered one lone run in the second inning. Overall, there were only six hits against him. To make matters worse, two double play balls didn't help the team hitting against Ted. Team Two racked up 12 runs. They scored four in the fourth frame and did one better in the fifth, scoring five, and batted around plus one in that inning. In the fourth, Kirk Coffman, Bill Ravo, and Wayne Mundy all achieved base hits after the first two batters were out while failing to get the old pill out of the infield. Hot hitter Neil Gelpi, who went 4 for 4 during the 
game with three extra base hits, drew a walk before Doug Chamlee singled in the fourth run.
Richard Marino lead off the fifth frame for the second team with a hard hit ball in the infield that should have resulted in the first out. Not so. Richard was safe at first. John Merritt and Gene Baker singled after the error, which brought up the top of the order. A line out to shortstop Don Witmer retired the number one man, then Bill Ravo and Wayne Mundy each singled. Neil Gelpi banged out a two bagger to knock in a run but the next batter grounded into the second out. Richard Marino drove home the fifth run with a base rap. The final score was 4-12-1. Ted Granoski notched a victory for the team that scored 12 runs and gave up one. Bobby Ayers and Dick Sessink were on the hill for their teams. LEADING HITTERS: Neil Gelpi: 4 for 4 with 1 triple, 2 doubles, & 1 walk. Sam Harrell: 3 for 3. Wayne Mundy: 4 for 5 with 2 doubles. Don Witmer: 3 for 4. No home runs were hit on Fred White Field this morning. Our regular scorekeeper, Joel Freedman, pulled double duty today. Not only did he man the books, Joel also popped on his first baseman mitt and played defense for Team Two. September 28th - For the first time since June 1st, and the rare exception on August 31st, two fields were occupied for the softball games. Oddly enough, both games were scheduled for seven innings, rather than nine as the rules state.
Some players are beginning to migrate south for the winter. Get ready because two fields will become the norm before you know it. A total of 10 players comprised the lineups for the contest on Fred White Field. The game began slowly, while looking at it from an offensive standpoint. After two innings were complete, the home team lead 1-0 due to an RBI double by Neil Gelpi after Sam Lopez singled his way on base. The visiting team broke open a can of Whoopem in the third frame. Larry Wells doubled before the next two 
batters immediately made outs. With one out to go, five straight singles put the needed runs on the board. Kirk Coffman, Wayne Mundy, Dean Schapeler, Al Andrews, and Jack Benson all refused to make the last out, with Jack knocking in the fifth run.
The home squad answered the bell 
for the third with a strong showing from the good guys. Bang-bang went the bats as Richard Marino, Gale Doty, Vassurl Bess, and Sam Lopez each produced base raps. An inside-the-park homer by Neil Gelpi gave the home team a 6-5 lead heading into the fourth.
Everything settled back as the game began after the third innings as a run here and a run there were scored. Not one inning past the third showed at least two runs on the score sheet. Tim Gallagher lead off the fourth inning with a solo inside-the-park homer for that lone run. The final score was 9-7 in favor of the home team. Larry Powell was on the hill for the home squad and George Radlein took the mound for the visitors. LEADING HITTERS: Neil Gelpi: 3 for 3 with 1 homer & 1 double. Sam Lopez: 3 for 3 with 1 double. Kirk Coffman: 3 for 3 with 1 walk. Nine players were penciled into the score card for each team on Field D. Commish Don Witmer played shortstop for both teams and didn't bat. The visiting team showed who was boss by putting up six runs in the first two innings and then coasted to a victory. In the opening frame, Reg Barnes, Bill Ravo, and Bob Zelazny each banged out base hits. Only two more hits were achieved before the inning was 
over but the damage had been done. Bernie Mohan and Walt Leggett each had two out singles.
Reg Barnes singled to start the top of the second but was forced at second when Bill Ravo sent a hard ground shot to third baseman Bob Cooper. Like a seasoned veteran, Bob threw to second baseman Carl Luebking to get Reg out on the base paths. The same set of circumstances occurred when Bob Zelazny batted, erasing Bill. Two outs were in the books and no runs so far. It didn't stay that way. Tom Wise sent a deep fly over the heads of the leftfielder and left centerfielder for an inside-the-park home run. Walt Leggett was doing a great job pitching against the home team. He had shut them down for the first three innings. 
The next three were a bit different. Raul Torres and Angel Merced began the bottom of the fourth with base hits before Bob Cooper drew a walk. Errors and fielder's choices did the rest and the home team wound up with three runs in the fourth frame.
A two run inside-the-park homer by Bob Zelazny, driving home base hitter Bill Ravo, extended the lead for the visitors to 8-3 after four innings were in the books. The home team was down by six runs by the time the bottom of the sixth rolled around. Gene Baker began by sending a fly ball to rightfielder Jim McPartlan, who circled under it and made the catch. Lefty Rich Moots tripled to the opposite field and Carl Luebking singled Rich home. Raul Torres then doubled Carl in to score. Angel Merced hit a deep fly to left centerfielder Bob Zelazny for a sacrifice fly. Only one more run would score in the seventh and final frame. Joltin' Joe DeForge singled and his pinch runner scored as a result of base hits by Bill Ravo and Bob Zelazny. The visiting team won 11-7 with pitcher Walt Leggett notching the win. Ted Granoski was the opposing pitcher. LEADING HITTERS: Bill Ravo: 4 for 5. Tom Wise: 3 for 4 with 1 homer. Walt Leggett: 3 for 4. Inside-the-park homers on Fred White Field were hit by Tim Gallagher, Neil Gelpi, Tom Wise, and Bob Zelazny. No home runs were hit on Field D. Joel Freedman, who couldn't be cloned in order to scorekeep on both fields, took those duties for Fred White Field. Also, a big "Thank you!" needs to be extended to Joel for FAXing the score sheets after every game to the webmaster, who is vacationing in Texas. Joel has FAXed the sheets for the past four game dates and will perform the duty one more time after the next game. Marshall Bloom, Bob Cooper, and Bernie Mohan returned to the old ball field after taking the summer off from the heat. Jack Benson returned from Franklin, New Hampshire and Greg Bombard arrived from Plattsburgh, New York. Welcome back, Marshall, Bob, Bernie, Jack, and Greg. |
