| Susy's Home Cleaning 20 Kraker Biszantz 19 | ||||||

The realtors scored three runs in the third and the cleaners answered with four making it 5-5 contest. The realtors exploded for five runs in the fourth and blanked the cleaners. In the fifth the realtors scored three more runs but the cleaners answered with five. Both teams scored the maximum of five in the sixth. Susy’s allowed one additional run to the Kraker Biszantz team in the top of the seventh and found themselves down by four runs going into the home half of the inning. Susy’s gritted their teeth and hit the ball well enough to score five runs and secure a 20-19 come-from-behind victory The Susy’s Home Cleaning crew played a good defensive game against a strong hitting Kraker Biszantz team. While everyone on the team played well Brad Johnson at shortstop had an exceptional game defensively. As a team we had 33 hits, a season high. Everyone had at least two hits and Jim Courtney led the team with five hits. RBIs were pretty even across the board as a testament to good team hitting and good base running.

| Kraker Bisantz: Kraker Biszantz came up one run short on a beautiful day at the field of dreams, losing in the bottom of the 7th to a pesky Larry Radant Susy’s team that refused to go away. Hats off to them for a great comeback. We hit the ball hard, with 34 total hits led by David Power 4/4, Gary Armstrong 4/4 with a double and a triple, and Tim Brown 4/4 with 5 rbi’s.

Thanks to our subs Mitch, Randy, Kim, and RayRay as well as umpires Richard Szymesko and Kenny K. | ||||||
| TP Dentist 8 Dynamic Wealth 3 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: In a defensive battle, our Pham team notched an 8-3 win over a tough Dynamic Wealth team to run our record to 5-2-1. It was a 5 run fifth inning that was the difference as we broke a 3-3 tie and held them scoreless the rest of the day. Bud(3-3) led off the fifth inning with a has third hit, and after Todd(2-3), Dean(3-3), Ron(3-3), Ray(2-3), and Patrick(2-3) singled, we had a nice 8-3 lead which held up fine behind great pitching by Tom Gibans(2-3) and strong defense. Dean showed the way, defensively, with a nice catch at the warning track in the first inning and Wayne capped it off with a good catch or two late. Our rookie, Jeff Tucker played a strong 2B in his first game as long term sub. Ray Ray had a lot of action at rover and contributed nicely to the defense. On offense, Ray, Dean, and Todd each had a double. Leading in RBI's were Ron Michalski and Patrick Burnett with 3 and Dean with a pair. Thanks to our subs who all did well- Greg Carley, Richard Szymesko, and Patrick Burnett. | ||||||
| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth was up 2 to 1 after the first inning, and held that lead until the dentists plated 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th, taking a 3 -2 lead over the money managers. The money managers pushed a run across in the top of the fifth to tie the game, but that was all she wrote. Thomas Pham Dentistry scored the maximum 5 runs in the home half of the fifth to take a 8 - 3 lead. It was a lead that they would keep. As the Dynamic Wealth squad was inept at the plate, laying goose eggs in the 6th and 7th innings. We had only 15 hits, and none for extra bases. Becky Holliday pitched a nice game, holding the dentists to only 8 runs, but the money managers let down their pitcher again, showing little offensive effectiveness. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Jon Chlebeck, going 3 for 3 with an RBI. Mark Beckner was 3 for 4 with a run scored. Jeff Heary was 2 for 3 with a run knocked in. And Kevein Katsuki was 2 for 4 with a run scored, and a run driven in. Thanks to Kim MacQueen for subbing for us! |

| Homesmart: A large crowd showed up today to watch a matchup of 2 good teams. Suzy's jumped out to an early lead but the Realtors got their defense together and their bats got hot scoring 12 runs in the last 3 innings. Moving John Hammel to second base turned out to be a key as he stopped several hard hit balls. Leading the offense was sub Dale McLaughlin, pitcher Dave Anthony and manager Randy VanWagner each going 4 for 4. The bottom of the batting order was key to the victory with the bottom 4 batters pounding out 8 hits with Randy Ratcliff going 3 for 3. Thanks to Dale McLaughlin and Roger Neumann for subbing.

| Susy's: The Susy’s Home Cleaning squad met the Homesmart Ezell team on a perfect Arizona afternoon for a ballgame.

Susy’s scored the maximum of five runs in the fifth but allowed Homesmart four runs. In the sixth Susy’s scored two runs while Homesmart scored five. Susy’s was unable to score in the top of the seventh and the final score was 11-15. Congratulations to the Homesmart team for a well played win. While our defense was not up to our standards and our hitting was a little anemic everyone had at least one hit and contributed to the offense. We had a total of 22 hits in the game. Susy’s played with heart but just didn’t play well enough to win the game. Thanks to Kevin Katsuki and Jon Chlebeck for subbing for us. It was a pleasure having you both on the team.

| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth was up 7 to nothing after 3 and half innings, and then the bottom fell out. Kracker - Biszantz, like the Phoenix rising, came roaring back with back to back 5 spots in the home halves of the 4th and 5th innings, followed by 3 in the bottom of the 6th. All of this, while holding the Dynamic Wealth lineup to single runs in the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings. The final score was 13 - 10 Kracker - Biszantz.

| Susy's: Another perfect afternoon for softball at the Field of Dreams. The Susy’s Home Cleaning team squared off with a hard hitting Dynamic Wealth Management team and came away with the win. Susy’s batters jumped out to 10 -1 lead after two innings, then continued to score runs in the next three innings to insure the win. Everyone contributed to the offense with hits and base running.

| Dynamic: It was a tale of two halves. Dynamic Wealth Management was being beaten badly by the house cleaners 12 to 1 after three innings. The money managers scored 11 runs in the last three innings of the time shortened 6 inning game to make the game a respectable 17 -12 final. The first 2 innings, Susy’s dinked, dumped and donked hit after hit in front of the helpless Dynamics outfielders. After 2, The money managers outfielded played in for the rest of the game. Coulda, woulda, shoulda…. It was too late. Our cold bats the first three innings, coupled with our defensive faux pas in the outfield sealed our fate. We dug a hole, and we couldn't get out. Dynamic Wealth was led offensively by Don Cole and Sub Paul Jinneman, both perfect at the plate, each going 3 for 3. Don had 2 RBI, and Paul scored a run and drove in a run. Kevin Katsuki, Jon Chlebeck, Sean Baker and Bob Lessard were all 3 for 4. Kevin knocked in 3, and scored twice. Jon hit a triple, had 2 RBI, and scored once. Sean scored 2 runs, and knocked in 1. And Bob scored twice. Jeff Heary had 2 hits and scored twice. Becky Holliday had a hit and knocked in 3 runs. A big thank you to Paul Jinneman coming off of the IR and subbing for us today! And thanks much to Kat Melton and Kim MacQueen for tag teaming to keep our scorebook! |

| Dynamic: Dynamic Wealth Management put big crooked numbers on the board in the first inning with 3, and the third inning with 5, and never looked back. Dynamic Wealth was leading after 4 innings 8 to 1, when Kraker - Biszantz had a 4 run outburst in the top of the 5th inning. This made the score 8 to 5. Tending to business, Dynamic Wealth plated 4 runs of their own in the home half of the 5th, pushing the score to 12 to 5 in favor of the money managers. Dynamic Wealth tacked on 2 insurance runs in the 6th, while holding Kraker - Biszantz scoreless the last two frames. Dynamic Wealth pitcher Becky Holliday was outstanding! Becky held the Kraker - Biszantz lineup scoreless in 5 of 7 frames. Becky pitched to her defense and had the Kraker - Biszantz hitters off balance, beating the ball on the ground to the Dynamic Wealth infield trio of 3rd baseman Sean Backer, Short Stop Andy Campbell, and Rover Mark Beckner. The outfield caught everything catchable hit their way. But today was the day for infield defense! I hate to leave 2nd baseman Don Cole out of the action, but he just wasn’t as busy on the right side as they were on the left! Although Don made a couple of nice plays himself. Dynamic Wealth Management had a solid day offensively with 25 hits as a team. Led by Jon Chlebeck and Andy Campbell, both perfect at the plate. Jon went 3 for 3, with 2 runs scored, and 3 runs driven in. Andy was 4 for 4, a run scored, and 2 driven in. Sub Frank Sandomenico, Chuck Frazier, and Kevin Katsuki were all 3 for 4. With Frank hitting 2 doubles, and scoring 4 runs. Chuck hit a double, scored 3 runs, and drove in 2 runs. Kevin scored twice and knocked in 2. With 2 hits each were winning Pitcher Becky Holliday, Bob Lessard and Sean Baker. Bob scored 2 runs, and Sean knocked in 3. Don Cole and Dave Swanson added RBI hits. It was a very well rounded team win. Everyone had a hand in the victory on both sides of the field. A big thank you to Frank Sandomenico for subbing for us today! |
||||||
| Kraker: Dynamic won this one 14-5. On a beautiful day in Surprise we struggled to get many hits. The total was 18 and not enough to win the game. Dave Dompier was 3 for 4 and a double. David Power was 3 for 4; Jay Corbett was 2 for 3; and Dennis Karcher was 3 for 3. Good hitting guys. Subs Jim Courtney was 2 for 4; Chip Stanczak was 3 for 4; and Greg Carley also had a hit. Thanks to our subs. We will be back on Tuesday and have full expectations for our first win. | ||||||
| Backbone 6 PT Pham 5 | ||||||
| Backbone: Deja Vu all over again. For the second time this week, BackBone Chiropractic escaped with a 6-5 decision over our opponent. BackBone held a 6-2 lead after five innings; but yielded 3 unanswered runs to TPham in the sixth. Nursing a one run lead in the seventh, TPham got the first base runner in. After one out, BackBone Chiropractic turned a game-ending double play. Tom Gruzs with a double, Frank Sandomenico with a double, and Patrick Hansen 2 for 2 each plated two runs. Randy Biko 2 for 3 with a run scored won the pitchers duel with strong defensive support. | ||||||
| PT Pham: On a beautiful Thursday morning, our Pham team lost a pitchers duel to Backbone Chiropractic by a 6-5 score. Ironically, in a game highlighted by good defense by both teams, most of the runs were unearned as errors opened the door. Sub, Dave Anthony pitched well for us while we could muster only 10 hits and 4 walks off of Backbone's Randy Biko. Todd Fletcher led the meager Pham offense going 2-3 and two RBI while Bud Bancroft and Anthony chipped in with a pair of hits. Ray Ray and last second sub, Ron Silberman were 1-2. Ron was filling in for Ron MIchalski who got hurt in the first inning of his season debut, Talk about a rough start! At least it turned out to be relatively minor. We have had at least 2 subs each game and that looks to continue next week, unfortunately. Pregame introductions continue. |

| Susy's 12 Homesmart 11 | ||||||
| Susy's: On a perfect morning for softball the Susy’s Home Cleaning crew showed up ready to meet the always tough Homesmart Ezell team. The first inning saw Homesmart go up 3 to 1.

Homesmart scored 4 runs in the fourth while the Cleaners were blanked. Neither team scored in the fifth. In the sixth inning Homesmart put up two runs and the Cleaning crew plated four making the score 9 - 10 in favor of the Cleaners. Homesmart was able to score two runs in the top of the seventh to go ahead by one. In a pressure situation Jim Courtney reached base followed by Brad Johnson’s hit. Billy Parker got a solid hit to score Jim and move Brad to third. Sub Paul Larson stepped up to the plate and hit a fly ball to shallow left field, Brad tagged up and was able to score on a close play at home giving the Cleaning crew the win.Everyone on the Susy’s Home Cleaning crew reached base on hits. Hits and RBIs were pretty evenly distributed throughout the team and once again defense was excellent. This was truly a team effort with everyone contributing to the win.

After trailing for most of the game Homesmart produced a gallant comeback in the 7th inning. We came close but wound up 2 runs short. Defensively we had our ups and downs but our bats finally came alive. In our loss we pounded out 18 hits. Hitting stars were Captain Randy VanWagner and sub Glenn Griffin, both going 3 for 4. John Gavazza, Mitch Craun, John Recob, Randy Ratcliff and Patrick Burnett all collected 2 hits a piece. Dynamic played a solid game and we give them credit for a nice win. We're looking forward to Thursday to get back on the winning track. Thanks Glenn Griffith and Kim McQueen for subbing today. | ||||||
| Backbone 6 Susy's 5 | ||||||
| Backbone: With our sponsor David Backus in attendance, BackBone Chiropractic escaped with a 6-5 decision over Susys. BackBone held a 6-2 lead after five innings; but yielded 3 unanswered runs in the sixth. Nursing a one run lead in the seventh, Susys got the first base runner in. But for two outstanding defensive plays by Frank Sandomenico and Dennis Vance the outcome of the game might have been different. Vance 3 for 3 with 2 doubles scored 3 times and plated 2 runs. Tim Schiewe 2 for 3 also plated 2 runs, including the game winner. Richard Szymesko and sub Greg Carley each had a hit and RBI. Tom Gruzs with a double and 2 runs scored, Chip Stanczak, and Ken Krzeminski went 2 for 3 on the day. Randy Biko won the pitchers duel with strong defensive support. | ||||||
| Susy's: The Susy's Home Cleaning team met the formidable Backbone Chiropractic team on a sunny Veterans Day afternoon. Susy’s came up short in final tally, losing 5 - 6. The game proved to be a great defensive battle with Susy’s showing a very solid defense. However, Susy’s could not get the bats warmed up and mustered only 15 hits for the game due in part to a good Backbone defense. Congratulations to Backbone Chiropractic on the win today. Thanks to the umpires and scoreboard operator today. You are always appreciated. Thanks to Sean Baker for subbing for us today, thanks to Jeff Smith for helping with the team and coaching third base and to Cathy Radant for keeping the scorebook. |

| TP Pham 14 Kraker Biszantz 14 | ||||||
| TP Pham: The game ended in a 6 inning tie, but the Kraker Realty walked off the field with smiles on their faces, while the Thomas Pham Dentistry boys were disappointed that their 12-4 lead a couple innings previous did not hold up against the suddenly hot Kraker bats. Our Pham squad bats were hot the first four innings as we jumped t0 a 12-4 lead after four innings of play. But then our bats cooled and Kraker came alive with a pair of 5 run innings to charge from behind to tie the game. Good job by the Holliday gang by never giving up. Our defense was strong early with a nice catch on the warning track by Dean Schoberl, Fred snaring a couple hard grounders, and Page with a sliding catch. Todd Fletcher again player a good game in the OF. Hats off to our subs as Randy VW played a strong IF in a 4-4, 5 RBI game while Dave Anthony went 4-4. We had some strong performances from our regulars with Todd Page 3-3 plus a walk, Dean and Bud each 3-4, and Dave Maligro 2-3. We welcome Ron Michalski to the team as he will be joining us Thursday. |
||||||

The 6th inning made the game interesting. Dynamic Wealth tacked on a single run in the top of the inning, and Susy’s then exploded for 5 runs to tie up the game at 13 apiece. It was gut check time for the money managers heading into the open inning 7th. And we hit. And we hit more. And still, more hitting took place. 14 hitters to the plate, 10 runs scored to take a 23 - 13 lead to force a flip flop. Susy’s plated a run in the home half of the 7th. Final score Dynamic Wealth Management 23, Susy’s Home Cleaning 14. We played better defensively with several above average catches and plays being made. A very good total team win!

With Don going 4 for 4, 2 runs, 3 RBI, and Dave going 5 for 5, a run scored, and 3 knocked in. Jeff Heary, Bob Lessard, Mark Beckner, and Kevin Katsuki were all 4 for 5.

Becky scored twice and had an RBI. Andy scored 2 runs, with 2 RBI. And Sean scored 3 runs, with 1 knocked in. I was the lineup I envisioned on draft day. Nice work team! |
||||||
| Susy's: On a day of lopsided victories/losses the Susy’s Home Cleaning team could not break the pattern. In a hard fought and evenly matched game through six innings the teams were tied at 13 runs each. However, the Dynamic Wealth team exploded for ten runs in the top of the seventh causing a flip-flop situation. The “Cleaners” were able to score only one run and the game concluded. Susy’s had 25 hits with Ronnie Silberman, Brad Johnson, Jim Courtney, Bill Parker, Ted Grove and Steve Willoughby each getting three hits. Ronnie Silberman led the team with five RBIs. The remaining RBIs were pretty evenly distributed among the team. Defensively we played solid but had some missed opportunities for outs. Congratulations to Manager Dave Swanson and his team for a well played game. Thanks to Tom Gruzs and Randy Biko for umpiring and Dennis Vance for scoreboard.

| Kraker Biszantz: Well, what can we say, it was a very long morning at the ballpark for Kraker Biszantz Realty. Hat’s off to a very good Backbone Chiropractic who mercied us in 5 innings. We only garnered 5 hits and 2 runs for the entire game, with our Manager/3rd base coach Mike Wunsch being lonely at third base. The good news, it was a beautiful morning and no one got hurt! Welcome to Bob Tarr as our additional coach after having to go on Injured Reserve for knee repairs. Thanks to Ronnie Silberman and Kim MacQueen for subbing, John Gavazza and Becky Holliday for umpiring, and John Bertholdy in the tower. | ||||||
| TP Pham 12 Homesmart 0 | ||||||
| TP Pham: When you have super pitching, strong defense along with lots of line drives on offense, that's a recipe for a win and Tom Gibans pitched a great game in a rare slowpitch shutout as his curve was working to perfection in the 12-0 five inning win. His teammates give him great support with the gloves highlighted by a shoestring catch by Dean Schoberl and good play by Ray Ray on a flare and sub Rick Armentano was solid up the middle and Todd Fletcher flagged down a shot to RF. The offense certainly did its part as we scored in every inning and all players contributed a hit. We scored with lots of clutch. two out hits with several guys perfect on the day including Todd Page, Bud Banfield, Fred Jensen, Wayne W, and Paul Larson. Thanks to Koch and Koch for their important contributions. We head into week 2 at 2-0. |
||||||
| Homesmart: Well today wasn't our day. Going from a 28 hit attack on Tuesday we only managed 6 hits and 0 runs today. We had several batters hit the ball hard but unfortunately it was right at one of the defenders. Early on our defense struggled but played much better as the game continued. Best defensive play was turn in by John Hammel stopping a line shot at first base that ended the inning with minimal damage. Best part of the game is that there is always next week. Congratulation to the Thomas Pham team. . |

| Backbone Chiro: BackBone Chiropractic opened the Fall Season by besting Dynamic Wealth 12-9 in a highly entertaining game.

Three notable defensive gems were Greg Martin with a catch of a deep flyball while shielding his eyes from the sun, Frank Sandomenico with a diving catch and Patrick Hansen with an over the shoulder catch while moving away from his 2nd base position into short right field.

The team also welcomed back Tom Gruzs after a long layoff from last season and back surgery. Tom contributed a hit, a run and infield leadership. | ||||||
| Dynamic: It was a beautiful opening day at the Field of Dreams! Dynamic Wealth tried to notch a win against a very good Backbone Chiropractic squad, but it was not to be. The score was 7 to 5 heading into the third inning. Backbone added a run in their half of the 3rd, taking an 8 - 5 lead. Dynamic Wealth battled back with 2 of their own runs in the top of the 4th, and then held Backbone scoreless in the bottom of the inning, making it a 8 - 7 game going into the 5th inning. Backbone plated 2 additional runs in the 5th, with 2 more in the 6th, while Dynamic Wealth was held scoreless in the 5th, and scored 2 in the 6th, making the score 12 - 9 Backbone. That was it. Dynamic Wealth was held scoreless in the 7th. Backbone Chiropractic won the Fall opener over Dynamic Wealth Management in a hard fought 12 to 9 contest.

| TP Dentist 16 Susy's Home Cleaning 14 | ||||||
| TP Dentist: Thomas Pham Dentistry rode a couple of early 5 run innings to a hard fought 16-14 win. The defense played very well in typical late afternoon sunny conditions. The dentists seemed to handle the soft infield conditions a little better. Thomas Pham was led by Bud Banfield and Tom Gibans both 4 for 4. Todd Fletcher and Fred Jensen each knocked in 3 runs. Todd Page, Fred Jensen and Paul Larson each had 3 hits. Everybody scored at least one run. Bud Banfield handled SS exceptionally well and Dean Schoeberl made a handful of difficult catches In RCF. The overall defense was good in containing a potential high scoring offense. | ||||||
| Susy's: The Susy’s Home Cleaning team took on a very good Thomas Pham Dentistry team on a sunny Arizona afternoon. Unfortunately we fell short of our goal, but played well overall. Our outfielders had some difficulty with the sun but still made some very good plays. Our infielders had to contend with a soft infield which prevented the ball from bouncing normally at times. Hats off to our opponents as they hit a lot of balls where we weren’t. On the offensive side, as a team we hit pretty well with twenty two hits but obviously needed more to win. Sub Greg Carley was our standout offensive player today as he hit for the cycle and had four RBIs. His home run was a little questionable for style but counted just the same. Big thanks for playing for us today Greg. Congratulations Thomas Pham Dentistry on a well played game. Thanks to Rick Armentano, Dick Hanson and Jay Corbett for umpiring and Tim Brown for the scoreboard. Thanks Jeff Smith for helping with the team and coaching third base. Thank you Cathy for keeping the scorebook. |

| Homesmart 13 Kraker Biszantz Realty 12 | ||||||
| Homesmart: Wow, what a game. After struggling in the first few innings and being down 9-2, the Homesmart boys put together a solid game pulling out a 13-12 victory in the bottom of the seventh inning over a very good Kraker team. Every player contributed at least one hit in the 28 hit attack. Mitch Craun and super sub Glen Griffin led the way each going 4 for 4. Close behind was John Gavazza Dave Anthony and John Bertholdy each with 3 hits. The star of the game however had to go to Patrick Burnett. With 2 out in the bottom of the seventh inning and trailing by 3 runs, Patrick smashed a line drive to left center getting by the fielder and driving in the 3 winning runs. This was a game that was decided by a team that would not give up. Way to go Homesmart. | ||||||
| Kraker Biszantz: The first game of the season for Kraker Biszantz Realty was a barn burner. We led the whole game, only to come up short in the bottom of the 7th inning. The final score was 13-12. Even though it was a loss we played a great game, and knocked off some of the off season rust. Leading hitters were Dave Dompier 4/4 , Brian Pin 3/3 with a walk, Dennis Karcher 3/3, Sub Greg Dustball Martin was 3/4, Tim Brown 2/4 and Rick Armentano 2/4 with a big hit in the 6th to score 3 runs.
