Wow! Today was an exciting day for a whole lotta of people. If nothing else, the statisticians are going to have to be very busy for the next week accounting for all the extra base hits from today's contest. Oh yeah, Chilli showed up and he still 70% raw talent, 8% Peter Pan, 3% common sense, and Lord only knows what makes up the rest. Sugar Ray Mialoivc christened his new "60 year year old" metal bat with a 2-hit day. We all wish Scott Lueders and Michael Simon a speedy recovery and RETURN to the diamond after their recent reconstructive surgery.

930 AM Game

The San Francisco Giants moved closer to locking up the mythical (or is it fantasy?) WCFBL championship by what else? Letting Heath Keller bemuse batters and hitting the snot out of the ball when it mattered. Dave Chillcote threw the last two innings looking like Houdini-Tiant. The Giants looked flat or should I say the Pseudo-Giants All-Stars with their 7 pool players looked flat for the first three innings before they exploded for 6 in the fourth and 2 in the fifth. After falling behind due to Chilli Houdini's faulty 7th on the mound, the top of the Giants order smacked four doubles, a single, and a SAC fly to regain the lead and the win.

The scrappy A's did strike out ten times but they did get 11 hits and one double. Dave Vigil led with two singles and the one double which did put the A's in the lead in the seventh. Dave Gayner and Craig Alexander both had two hit days while Scott Wagner, Pat Macias, Jeff Jones, Gary Hooper, and Felix Liu hit singletons.

The Giants slugged 6 doubles and belted 11 singles. Mike Miller led the way with a double and two bingles. Chilli had two doubles while Don DeWitt, Bill Pedersen, and John "BHL" Haines each had singles-double days. Ray Mialovic had two solid steel singles to celebrate his 60th. Heath Keller, Greg Terra, Chad Caliendo, and Steve Conroy each contributed timely singles on the day.

1 PM Game

Elk Grove erupted all over Tokyo this past Sunday. There is no other way to describe it. They hit everything! They hit for the cycle. They even hit the pitcher Duane Blevins when he came to bat! Carl Vargas for six and Randy Wallace for two kept Tokyo under control except for Chad Caliendo.

Chad Caliendo led Tokyo with a single and a 387.5 foot Homer. He was 10 feet from home plate when the left fielder finally got to the ball. Singles by Gordon Simmons (he should have had an infield hit but somebody missed the call!), Mike Miller, Ben Chen, Doug Rusch, Keith DaCosta, Ray Mialovic, and new guy Pat Pottgieser completed the Tokyo attack.

Steve Conroy countered Caliendo's homer with a home run of his own to complete the cycle for Elk Grove. Carl Vargas belted three singles to back his stingy pitching today. Dave Montellato, THE COUNT, is back. He launched two towering drives that would have been home run trots on all our fenced fields, today he trotted out a double and a triple (yes he hit it far enough to TROT a triple.) Bobby Hartkop also launched a rocket that he trotted to a double "Molina-style", he also ripped a single. Terry Lee lashed a single and blasted a humongous drive over the center fielder for a triple. Randy Wallace got in the act with a tape measure double to left field while Rob Lanterman and Dave Decruz slashed singles to complete the Elk Grove eruption.
