Watkins Wins Series

Watkins won the series on February 29th against Christ Church two games to one.  Watkins was the home team but the game was played at Christ Church.

In Game One, Christ Church could manage only a singlr run, a ninth inning home run by Mike Thompson in a 4-1 loss.

In Game Two, Christ Church trailed 5-0 going into the top of the seventh.  David Stierle singled, Terry Waddle doubled and, with one out, Clete Thompson homered to cut the Watkins' lead to 2 runs.  But that was all the scoring and Watkins won 5-3.

In Game Three, after trailing 1-0 going into the second,  Mike Peak suggested a change in strategy away from trying to score on singles and triples to a "down the middle" attack.  The change was made and the result was 2 doubles (by Frank Preston and Dick Lutz) and 5 home runs (by Mike Peak {2 RBIs}, Mike Thompson, David Stierle, Terry Waddle, and Dick Lutz) and a 6-4 Christ Church win.
