 Susy’s Home Cleaning – 6 Hole N One – 1 

Balanced hitting and good pitching led to a 6-1 win for Susy’s Home Cleaning. Sub pitcher Jim Linzmeier gave up a first inning run and then blanked Hole N One for the remainder of the game. A four run inning in the third gave Susy’s the lead and eventually the win. Susy’s was aided by the extra base hits of Dave Gjerstad and sub Pierre Coulombe who both had doubles. Rick Magnuson of Hole N One was the sole batter from either team to have more than two hits as he collected three of Hole N Ones 13 hits. 

 Thrive Healing Center - 9 Canyon State – 7 

Canyon State was aiming for an upset of Thrive Heating but fell short as Thrive ran their unbeaten streak to six. Trailing 9-3 Canyon State scored four in the bottom of the sixth to get within striking distance of the league leader. After holding Thrive scoreless in the top of the sixth Canyon was unable to push any runs across in the bottom of the seventh and fell short by the 9-7 score. The first three batters in the Thrive lineup provoided much of the offensive damage. Kevin Kelly, Rich Cherry and Steve Engels each had three hits. Kelly and Cherry each had two doubles to help with the scoring. Juan Curiet also had a double for Thrive. Rich Suhaysik led Canyon State with three hits and sub Chris Peltekian had a double. 

 Phoenix Sports - 10 Paul Tone – 2 

Another fine pitching performance as Phoenix Sports hurler Lee Anderson held Paul Tone to two runs as Phoenix Sports ran off with a 10-2 win. Sports took advantage of nine walks to assist in their winning margin as they scored seven through the third inning to take a lead they didn’t relinguish. Ron Beford reached base four times and had three RBIs. Following with three hits were Rod Staeb, Jim Dohrmann, Dave Siegel and Gary Scapito. Anderson and his defense managed to hold Tone to 12 hits and no extra base hits. 

 Team Peterson – 9 Saini Smiles – 5 

Saini Smiles got off to a fast start as they scored the maximum four in the first inning, but was able to score only one more run the remainder of the game as they fell to Team Peterson 9-5. Despite that they still only trailed by one after five only to see Peterson plate four runs in the top of the sixth to build up a comfortable margin. Four Peterson batters were able to punch out three hits each. They were Jim Montgomery (2B), Tom Finn, Ky Slickers and sub Ron Bedford (2B). Also legging out doubles were Trevor Cornett and sub Mike Currie. Sub Steve Engels was smiles’ lone hitter with more than two hits as he was good for three including a double. Pierre Coulombe also banged out a double.
