• Rich, with a bad back and an illness, sat out after the 5th.
• Joe hit well. Everyone else... Actually, Stacy got good wood on her grounder in the 2nd, and Richard, trying to avoid being hit, shielded John Boyte enough to make any play difficult.
• Again with no umps, Richard and Laverne agreed that there would be no height limit. Steve Broberg had good accuracy with the high balls, but the good hitters on Swatm were still able to hit.
• On Lovato's hard hit down the left field line, Angel fought the wall and threw perfectly to 2B for the tag out.

• Earl played the first inning defensively until Angel arrived.
• With a runner on first, Deb fielded Emily's grounder to her right, stepped on second for the force and threw to first for the DP.
• Richard at 3B threw a grounder into the dirt for an error and failed to catch Toby's liner or throw him out in the second.
• Steve caught at two hard liners from Catalina, doubling John Flores off first on one of them.
• All homers went to right-center. Angel's two hopped the opposite fence.
• Missed opportunities: Rich stopped Annie from tagging from third on Joe's fly to left, then Emily cleanly fielded Richard's grounder up the middle to end the inning. After 7 hits in a row, Angel got under a ball to right-center. And with the bases loaded in the 7th, Tony popped up to second. Still, it was a great comeback from 11 down to force an extra inning. Big hit by Steve to tie the game.

• Marinators played 8 to start the game before Tracy showed up with a 3-2 count on the first batter.
• Both Angel and Mitch homered to dead center, with both balls landing at the base of the fence. Great hitting all around. The big blow was Joe's double in the first to not waste the loaded bases.
• First inning: with one on and one out in the first, Richard at 3B caught a line drive and doubled Fabiano off first, with Rich making a nice catch of a short hop
• Third inning: after two walks, Shyam hit a perfect one-hop double play ball to Richard, who threw a strike to Rich.

• Angel's homer went to right. Mitch's double would have been a foul over the left field fence but that it hit the tree and dropped straight down. Steve doubled nicely to left-center.
• Great defense by Frank, who came up with two hard short-hops, one for a double-play in which he may have thrown before touching 2B.
• Steve tagged on Frank's fly in the fifth but slowed significantly before reaching 3rd.

• First time through the order: Frank hit a good liner that Steve Guzman at P speared. Angel had a good hit, but that was it. Steve fouled out over the LC fence.
• In the fourth, Greg had a good single to LC, but got caught in no-man's land when the LCF bobbled the and threw wildly, but John Boyte at 1B backed up the play well. Frank had a good hit, but got erased on Rich's DP, which nailed Steve in the foot but then went straight to 2B.
• Ed Lovato got a nice double play on Frank's hard-hit ball in the 6th.
• A little controversy: John lined one off the left field fence, which bent backward, letting the ball go over. Richard as commissioner ruled it a ground-rule double, on the basis that hitting the fence or the tree in left field is like hitting the ground.
• Shark outfielders overran about 5 balls.>

• In the top of the first, Steve got nailed right below the knee. Earl pitched the rest of the game, though Steve felt well enough by the 3rd to bat. Earl did strike 1 batter out.
• Section 8 had ony 9 players.
• Annie got no help in getting tagged out at home in the first, as sliding would have gotten her safe. Greg in LC and Tom at 3B turned the tables later by throwing out a runner going 1st to 3rd.
• Tony's ground ball hit Annie to end the 3rd.
• With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 2nd, Richard caught a line drive up the middle and stepped on second to end the inning. With a runner on first and one out in the 3rd, Annie in RF caught a fly and threw to first for the DP.
• Angel's fly in the first was the first ball he got under all season. He still had the go-ahead RBI in the 3rd.
• Hitter of the day: Mitch hit well all day, including a smoking double off the fence, while Greg put two hard line drives just over.
• Stacy, Sheila, and Tony subbed on 1/2 day's notice, while Tom had more notice. Stacy showed up early for some BP, hit the ball hard, and hustled. Sheila had a solid single up the middle, and Tony hit the ball on the screws twice. Tom had a good hustle play by drawing a throw on Earl's line out advancing to second on the overthrow, from where he scored on Steve's two-out single.

• Greg showed up during the bottom of the first, so Earl played LF in the first inning and took himself out afterwards.
• IP played 5 infielders against men in the first few innings, then shifted to a regular 4-person outfield afterwards.
• Bad sign: Angel led off the 6th with a single to center, took third on the catcher's overthrow on Frank's first pitch, then got stranded.
• Angel again hit the daylights out of the ball with a homer to center and another to right-center. Greg and Rich also hit well, with Greg homering to dead center. Greg also had the go-ahead rbi with a rocket down the 3B line. Rich had the key hit to send the game to overtime, a good double to right-center.
• Brad, Frank, and Greg all hit line drives off the roof of the shed in left. All would likely have been triples normally.
• Annie picked the right spot for her hit, a key single to extend the 7th. Deb hit the ball squarely at least 3 times, but IP played good D. The woman in left (Amy Lucadamo) had two good catches off low line drives from Richard and Frank.
• Cleveland pitched well, especially given the short notice Richard gave him. Frank played flawless defense, including a backbreaking 6-3 double play with 2 on and 0 out in the 8th. Richard at 3B caught a sharply hit line drive to end the 6th.

• Game started 1 minute early. Steve and Annie showed up after.
• Last Gasp had a good Asian 2B. Hit hard, turned 2 DPs.
• Angel hit again, and Greg and Joe got on every time.
• Angel reached over the fence to almost catch a ball, but instead knocked it back in play for a double.
• Other D: a few painful errors and 4 walks. Greg assisted to Joe at C, then Joe completed injuring his groin when turning to throw to 3B and may be out for a while (begun when scrambling back to 1B on a nice play by the Gasp 2B on Annie's liner in the 3rd).

• Both sides went 1-2-3 in the first. Rust. Short fence in LF due to construction of a gym.
• Angel carried the offense. Rocket up the middle for the first Shark hit, rocket to right-center that skipped beneath Shyam, rocket up the middle, rocket up the middle that David Johnson managed to protect himself from. The homer was the turning point of the game.
• Joe had the other extra-base hit, a screamer to left that bounced off the base of the fence. Frank had 3 good hits, and Deb hit well.
• The Marinator second was almost disastrous - Angel dropped a fly, and Richard threw wildly home to let the second run score. However, with runners on first and second, one of the Marinator women singled to drive in 1, but then ran to second where David Johnson had stopped. Steve cut Angel's throw to the plate (which probably would have gotten the runner) and relayed to Deb, who got the ball and tagged both runners when they strayed off the base.
• Rich laid out for a foul ball behind first, though some would say he lost his footing and ate it. Earl got caught in a rundown in the 5th and got tagged out awkwardly but managed to avoid Rich's fate.
• Frank played solid D at short. Richard got 1 of 2 low backhands, but the caught one killed a rally after a drop by Rich, and the missed one was in the last inning. Angel dropped a second easy fly in the seventh, but after catching the toughest ball, a liner by Dave Tseng far to his left.
