May 21, tournament if there were no rained out games. either 620 or 725.

Remember my phone number is 480-945-6917 It's always ok if you miss a game, just please give me as much notice as you can so I can get a spare player if necessary. If you wait until 15 minutes before the game it's tough to get anyone.

RAINED OUT GAMES: I've only had about two forfeited games in over 20 years, and one of those was because it was raining at a player's home and he assumed it would be raining at the field. If its raining at your house, and you think the game might be cancelled, CALL ME. You never know.

NOTE:

Winter 2008 we took second place, record of 9-3-1 with one game called on account of lightning and never made up.
Tournament we won one and lost one, with the latter going into THREE extra innings. It was a great game, too bad we lost.

Fall 2007 we took first place! Only lost 2 games. Came in second in the tournament - lost the final game.

No statistics for the weeks I wasn't there, sorry.
We ended up 6-7-1. But we had several weeks when we had a hard time getting enough players. We had a few players who only played in a couple games. I'm not going to list their stats if they have fewer than 10 at-bats.

Above is a picture of the Flying Buffalo softball team circa 1980 or so. Or maybe even earlier; I look awfully young...

Left to right, top row, Kurt Gunther, Torrey Kaatz, guy I don't remember, Duane Disbro, Bob Howard, Pete Kaatz, Rick Nosker.
Second row, Scott Delatorre, Andy Bagnato, Me holding the trophy, Don King, Eric (something), Jim Laird.
Only Bob Howard and I are still playing on the team.
