Palm Springs II  - Game Recaps

Editor's note:  Game recaps are provided for miscellaneous games where information is available.   We'd love to include all of the games, but need your help.  If you have info, email us: info@fastpitchwest.com, including anything showing as "n/a" (not available) below.  If it seems that there is more information for the Black Sox and Rounders, you're right, as I'm around to do the Rounder recaps and Fred Hanker's Black Sox website provides theirs. (Thanks, Fred) Because I am playing, I can't get to all of the games.  (And they take my PDA away in the bullpen)

 

Join in?  (I have the scores, just need WP and LP and the Recap).  I expect that this page will grow in the weeks following the tournament, so check back often.  Too much to do at one sitting, so I will chip away.  Game numbers correspond to the game numbers shown on the  "Scoreboard" page (click "up" menu button at left, then "Scoreboard". )

We'll notate new additions to this page as we go so that you can re-visit this page and know which ones you haven't already read.

Team Black Sox WP- Randy Clay
Team Panteras LP  
Recap

The long beach black sox got a clutch hit from a unexpected source. The other hanker dave who is fred's cousin got a clutch bases loaded single to tie the game at 4-4. The sox played a very fiesty pantera's team who came to play. The sox jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a leadoff single by dan fleming and rbi singles by david valdivia and brett semans. The panteras scored 4 in the 3rd to take a 4-2 lead. The sox than had their turn in the 4th scoring 5. Three consecutive singles by brett semans, bobby cole and cesar rodriguez set the stage for seldom used david hanker who has been pressed into service lately with all the sox injuries. Hanker droped a single into right scoring 2 and the sox never looked back. With the score tied 4-4 and runners on 1st and 3rd fred hanker was intentionally walked and dale lopes delivered a clutch single driving in a run as did david valdivia. The sox would hold onto a 7-4 win and advance for the 3rd straight tourney to the final 4.randy clay went the distance for the win they now play the edge who has dominated play in the alliance.

Recap

Dan Zupp and Gerald Pyle traded zeros for four innings, until the San Diego bats came alive in the 5th, batting around for 5 runs. Joe Crawford keyed the inning, leading off with a base hit, getting two hits in the inning.  Dan Zupp kept the Rounder hitters off balance, and got the key outs when he needed them to get his team back to the finals for the second tournament in a row.  For the Rounders, it marked big improvement over their "one and done" Sundays posted in the last two tournaments. They reached the Final Four with wins in two very toughly contested morning games, 5-4 in 9 innings over Palm Springs, and 4-3 over the Amigos.

12 Sun 4/25   Championship San Diego 9-2
Team San Diego WP- Dan Zupp
Team Edge LP Bobby Lara
Recap

Against the Edge, in the championship game, the San Diego bats stayed hot, as they scored four in the first and three more in the second, to put this one away early.    In the first inning, after Bobby Lara retired the first two San Diego batters, Terry Brightwell drew a walk.  First baseman Joe Fernandez followed with a single and both scored on a double by San Diego shortstop Mike York.  York played a big role in both the semi-finals and championship game wins with stellar play at shortstop.  Brian Webb walked.  Singles by Joe Crawford and Jaime Nuanez produced two more runs.

 

In the San Diego second, Joe Nuanez led off with a double, scoring on a single by Terry Brightwell.  Joe Fernandez walked, and both Brightwell and Fernandez scored on a triple by Brian Webb..

 

The Edge scored their only two runs in the fourth, on a leadoff single by Robert Aragon, who scored on a double by "The Legend", Jerry Hoffman, who entered the game for first baseman Rick McCarthy when he was ejected.  An error and base hit by Raul Ramirez brought home Aaron Sepulveda, who entered to run for Hoffman (as many know, Sepulveda's father was a teammate of Hoffman's, both playing on the 1983 ISC World Champion Lancaster Chameleons.)

 

Brian Webb added one more for San Diego, leading off the fifth with a solo homer to left field, while Terry Brightwell came home on a throwing error for the final San Diego run, and the 9-2 margin of victory.   Webb's home run went over the left fielder's head, rolling all the way to the (slow-pitch) fences, some 300 feet away.
