CHRIST CHURCH DROPS SERIES TO WATKINS

After managing only two runs and twelve hits total in games one and two Monday night at Watkins, a fourteen hit Christ Church attack salvaged the third game.

Christ Church led through five and a half innings in Game One but that lead was a slim 1-0.  Their run came with two out in the top of the first on a single by David Stierle and a triple (RBI) by Tom Bennett.  Mike Thompson's lead off single in the second; Mike Peak's one out single in the third; and Vince Richards' one out double in the fifth, were not followed by the required second hit for a run.  Watkins tied the game in the fifth on a triple by Gene and a single by Wendell.  Watkins added two more in the eighth as Gene reached on an error and scored with Wendell on a home run.  In the ninth, Christ Church put the tying runs on second and third on a single by Andy Coates and a double by Mike T. but they could not be pushed across.  The Final - Watkins 3 - Christ Church 1.

Christ Church once again took the lead in the first inning of Game Two.  With two outs, David homered.  He was followed by Tom's single but he died at first.  Watkins took the lead in the second on a triple by Norm and a home run by Barb; expanded that lead on Keith's third inning home run; and added two more with home runs by Andrew and Gene in the fifth.  Christ Church put the lead-off men on with singles in the fourth (David), sixth (Leah Bennett) and seventh (Mike T), all to no avail.  Keith homered in the eight for the game's final run.    The Final - Watkins 6 - Christ Church 1.

Game Three was a more high scoring affair.  Christ Church sent eight batters to the plate in the first inning scoring four runs on five hits: Leah- lead-off single; Mike P- RBI triple; David- RBI single; Tom- RBI triple; and Mike T- RBI single.  Leah singled in the second but was stranded.  In the third, Andy singled and scored on a two out RBI triple by Dick Lutz.  Watkins made it 5-2 in the fifth, 5-3 in the sixth and 5-4 in the eighth.  In the fifth, Barb, singled, Andrew tripled and Dub singled.  The sixth inning run was a HR by Norm.  Wendell homered in the eighth.  Looking for an insurance run for their one run lead, Leah tripled with one out in the ninth.  Mike P drove her in with a single (RBI) and he scored on a triple (RBI) by David.  Tom followed with a single (RBI).  The insurance proved necessary as Watkins got what would have been the tying run on a home run by Andrew but fell short as a result of the Christ Church runs in the ninth.  Leah in the fourth and Tom in the fifth and seventh added singles which did not figure in the scoring.  The Final - Christ Church 8 - Watkins 5.

CHRIST CHURCH DROPS ALL THREE

A week after doing just enough to sweep St. Matthews Baptist, Christ Church could not do enough Monday night in Room 005 to prevent St. Matthews UMC from sweeping them.

St. Matthews posted two runs in the top of the first in Game One on a pair of singles by Glenn and Carl2 and a triple by Carl1. St. Matthews left the door open by failing to cash in on five hits over the final eight innings but Christ Church could manage only three hits: a one out triple by Frank Preston in the third; and lead-off singles by Andy Coates in the fourth and Jerry Hinton in the eighth. The Final – St. Matthews 2 – Christ Church 0.

In Game Two St. Matthews never trailed although Christ Church was able to make a run at them. A triple by Herb and a single by Glenn put St. Matthews up 1-0 in the third. Christ Church wasted three hits through four innings. In the second Andy led off with a single but died at first. Mike Peak tripled with two outs in the third but was left there. Bob Stone died at first after his lead off single in the fifth. Christ Church finally got on the board for the first time on the night when Mike Thompson homered with two outs in the sixth. But that was Christ Church's only run and last hit, while St. Matthews added run on a solo homer in the eight (Herb) and a run in the ninth on a triple by Jim and a single by Ray. The Final – St. Matthews 3 – Christ Church 1.

Christ Church took their first leads of the night in Game Three. A second inning single by Tom Bennett saw Tom die at first. But in the third after two outs, Mike P tripled and scored on a single (RBI) by David Stierle who scored on a triple (RBI) by Jerry. But St. Matthews had the answer with two runs of their own to tie the game in the fourth. Glenn singled, Ray tripled and Carl1 singled to tie the game at two. In the fifth Bob and Vince (RBI) led off the fifth with back to back doubles, Mike P moved Vince to third with a single. After outs by the next two batters, Leah Bennett delivered a single (RBI) to make the score 4-2 in favor of Christ Church. But St. Matthews again responded with a single-triple-single by Jim, Ray and Carl1 to make the score 4-4. Christ Church got a two out triple by David in the seventh but could regain the lead. St. Matthews got the game winning runs in the eight with a single-triple-single by Glenn, Jim and Ray. The Final – St. Matthews 6 – Christ Church 4.

SWEEP

For the first time this season, Christ Church took three games out of three.  Monday nights sweep came at league leading St. Matthews Baptist and avenged a sweep by them back in October.

St. Matthews grabbed the early lead in Game Two on a second inning home run by Homer.  Christ Church failed to get a hit two times through the line-up until Leah Bennett singled to open the seventh.  Dick drove her in with a triple (RBI).  Then, with two out-- Mike Thompson singled (RBI); Andy Coates tripled (RBI); Tom Bennett singled (RBI); and David tripled (RBI); as Christ Church tallied five runs on six hits.  In the eighth,  Mike P tripled but died on base while St. Matthews added a run on a home run by Bill.  Christ Church added an insurance run in their ninth on a single by Mike T and a triple (RBI) by Andy.    The Final - Christ Church 6 - St, Matthews Baptist 2.
  
Christ Church never trailed in Game Three.  Leah singled to lead off the game and scored on a two out triple (RBI) by Mike T who scored on a single (RBI) by Jerry.  David singled to open the second and, two outs later, was driven in by a triple (RBI) by Leah.  St. Matthews made it 3-1 on a HR by Barb.  Jerry's sixth inning home run turned out to be the last score of the game.  Christ Church got non-run scoring hits from Andy (single- fourth inning); David (triple- sixth); Mike T (single- eighth); and Vince (double- ninth).    The Final - Christ Church 4 - St, Matthews Baptist 1.

CHRIST CHURCH TAKES SERIES FROM IMMANUEL

Christ Church evened the season's series with Immanuel by winning two out of three at Christ Church Monday night.  Immanuel had beaten Christ Church two to one in September.

Immanuel scored two in the top of the first while never trailing in Game One.  A two run home run by Jared scored David from first..  Through six innings, Christ Church could manage only one hit an inning: a single in the second (by Dick Lutz); a double in the third (by Sydney Raderer); and a single in the fourth (again by Dick).  In the seventh, Dick singled for the third straight time, moved to second on a sacrifice by David Stierle, and scored on an RBI double by Vince Richards.  Immanuel added the only other scoring of the game on a triple by John and an RBI sacrifice by Alan in the eighth.  The Final - Immanuel 3 - Christ Church 1.

 Immanuel also took the lead first in Game Two on doubles by Bob and Jared.  Through five innings this time, Christ Church again scattered their hits: a single in the first (by Mike Thompson); a single in the second (by David); a double in the third (by Frank Preston); and a double in the fourth (by Bob Stone).  In the sixth with two outs, Andy Coates tripled and David followed with an RBI single to tie the game.  In the eighth, Dick led off with a single but died at first.  In the bottom of the ninth, after Immanuel had failed to score in the top of the inning, David led off with a home run for Christ Church's first lead of the night.  The Final - Christ Church 2 - Immanuel 1.

Immanuel scored first again in Game Three.  A triple by Zach and a double by Larry put Immanuel up 1-0.  Singles by Dick to lead off the first and by David to lead off the second were wasted.  In the sixth, however, after two outs, Jerry Hinton got on with a single; Mike T. followed with a triple (RBI); Andy then singled (RBI); David tripled (RBI); and Bob closed out the four run inning with a single (RBI) to give Christ Church a 4-1 lead.  Immanuel tied the game with three runs of their own in the seventh- a double by Brandy; a HR by Bob; and a HR by Jared.  Vince Richards responded to give Christ Church the lead back in the bottom of the inning with a home run (RBI) and Christ Church added an insurance run in the eight on a triple by David and a single (RBI) by Bob.  The Final - Christ Church 6 - Immanuel 4.

CHRIST CHURCH WINS SERIES

Christ Church visited Trinity Presbyterian for the first time Monday night and won two of three.

In Game One, Jerry Hinton led off the game with a single but died at first.  Christ Church struck for the first runs of the game in the second on a single by Tom Bennett, a triple (RBI) by David Stierle and a single (RBI) by Andy Coates.    Mike Peak singled in the third and scored on a triple (RBI) by Tom.  A Trinity home run by Irv cut into the lead in the bottom of the third.  Christ Church had singles from Vince Richards (in the fourth), Leah Bennett (fifth), David and Frank Preston (both in the sixth) without increasing their two run lead.  In the seventh Leah singled and moved to second on a sacrifice from Mike P and to third on a single by Bob Stone.  David followed with a single (RBI) to score Leah and close out the scoring for Christ Church.  A ninth inning home run was all Trinity could add on.   THE FINAL - CHRIST CHURCH 4 - TRINITY 2.

In Game Two, a first inning home run by Thomas gave Trinity the early lead.  Christ Church again wasted a first inning single, this time a single by Leah.   But again, Christ Church got on the board in the second.  Tom led off with a single and scored on a triple (RBI) by Bob.  Frank Preston homered (2 RBI) to make the score 3-1.  Mike P singled in the third and again in the sixth.  He was left on base in the third but scored in the sixth on a home run (2 RBI) by Tom.  David added a single but did not score.  That made the score 5-3, Trinity having scored two in the fourth on back to back home runs by Larry and Irv.   David singled in the ninth but was left on base. THE FINAL- CHRIST CHURCH 5 - TRINITY 3.

 In Game Three, Christ Church could manage only four hits and one run.  Andy reached on an error in the second; Leah tripled with two outs in the third; Vince doubled in the fifth; and Andy singled in the seventh.  But Christ Church's sole run came in the second on a lead off home run by Mike Thompson.  Trinity could manage only two runs themselves, but that was enough, both runs coming in the third on a double by Don, a triple by Steve and a single by Kyle.  THE FINAL - TRINITY 2 - CHRIST CHURCH 1.

In the third, Bob Stone led off with a single and, once again with two outs, David tripled (RBI) and Tom singled for a four run lead. A single by Fred and back to back home runs by Mike and John cut the lead Christ Church to one after six. In the Christ Church half of the seventh, a single by Kay and a triple (RBI) by Mike P. made the lead two. Harvey Browne answered in the seventh on a single by Fred and another home run by John to tie the score at five apiece. Non-scoring hits for Christ Church came from Vince Richards (a single in the second); Mike P. (triple in the fourth); Bob (single in the tenth); and David (single in the thirteenth).

CHRIST CHURCH TAKES TWO OF THREE FROM WATKINS

Christ Church hosted Watkins Monday night. Game One was tight all the way. In the Christ Church first, Mike Peak singled and Jerry Hinton followed with a triple (RBI) to edge in front. In the third a one out single by David Stierle and a triple by Leah Bennett (RBI) made it 2-0. That lead was wiped out in the fourth with three runs on a triple from Gene and back to back homers by Norm and Jay. Christ Church regained the lead in the seventh with three runs of their own. Kay Peak started the rally with a lead off double. Then, after two were out, Mike P tripled (RBI), Jerry singled (RBI), and Leah tripled (RBI) for a 5-3 advantage. Dick's eighth inning HR cut the final margin to one. David, Leah and Tom added non-run scoring singles. THE FINAL – CHRIST CHURCH 5 – WATKINS 4.

Watkins evened the series in Game Two. Christ Church fell behind 3-0 (Jay- home run; Dick- error; Gene- triple; and Wendell- single) before they got on the board in the fourth on Jerry's single and Andy Coates' triple (RBI). But that proved to be Christ Church's sole run of the game. Non-scoring hits for Christ Church came from David (triple and single); Jerry (single); and Andy (single). A double by Wendell and a home run by Norm added to Watkins total. THE FINAL – WATKINS 5 – CHRIST CHURCH 1.

Watkins could manage only one hit and no runs in Game Three. Mike P had two singles but did not figure in the scoring. The Christ Church runs came from Sydney Raderer home run (RBI) in the third; Mike Thompson (single) and Dick Lutz (RBI triple) in the fourth; and Jerry (triple) and Leah (RBI single) in the fifth. THE FINAL – CHRIST CHURCH 3 – WATKINS 0.
