STREAK ENDS

Christ Church's ten week series winning streak came to an end at St. Matthews UMC Monday night.

Christ Church managed ten hits and five runs in Game One but it was precipitously downhill after.  Leah Bennett got things off to a good start with a lead off single in the first.  A two out triple (RBI) by David Stierle gave Christ Church the early lead.  Leah's third inning single and a triple (RBI) by Mike Peak and a single (RBI) by David made it 3-0.  David was stranded in the sixth after a single as was Mark Nethary after a seventh inning double.  A single by Ray and a triple by Jim cut the lead to two in the seventh.  In the eighth, a single by Mike P and a triple by Dick Lutz restored the three run cushion.  A home run by Donna left Christ Church with a two run lead going to the ninth.  Mark homered to close the scoring.  The Final - Christ Church 5 - St, Matthews UMC 2.

There was no scoring until the seventh inning of Game Two. Dick singled with one out in the first; Andy Coates doubled to lead off the second; Mark doubled with two outs in the fifth; and Jerry Hinton led off the sixth with a single; but each time Christ Church failed, in nine attempts, to come up with the second hit of the inning to produce a run.  In the seventh Andy Coates started the inning with a single and scored on a triple (RBI) by Vince Richards.  Ray, Jim, and Carl went single-triple-single to score two.  The Final  - St. Matthews 2 - Christ Church 1.

Christ Church managed only four runners in Game Three failing in six attempts to produce a run.  Tom Bennett singled with one out in the second (2 failures to drive him in).  Mike Thompson reached on an error in the fourth (1 failure).  Mike P tripled with two out in the sixth (1 failure).  Finally, Mike P singled with one out in the ninth (2 failures).  St. Matthews failed seven times ovr eight innings to drive in a run but were successful in the ninth, on their eighth attempt,  as Carl 1 tripled with two outs to score Ray.   The Final  - St. Matthews 1 - Christ Church 0.

CHRIST CHURCH EXTENDS STREAK -- BARELY

Christ Church won their tenth straight Monday night series two games to one against visiting St. Matthews Baptist but it took last at-bat runs to pull off both wins.

Christ Church scored the opening run in the first inning of Game One on a single by Jerry Hinton and an RBI triple by Mike Peak.  However, a double by Bob and a home run by Bill put St. Matthews up 2-1 in the second.  Jerry's third inning triple was wasted but Christ Church tied the game in the fourth as Dick Lutz singled and scored on a triple (RBI) by Bob Stone.  Christ Church stranded Leah Bennett after a fifth inning single and Mike P after his eighth inning triple and could not add to their run total.  St. Matthews got all they needed in the seventh on a two run home run by Jim with Keene scoring in front of him.  The Final - St. Matthews Baptist 4 - Christ Church 2.

In Game Three, St. Matthews took a 1-0 lead on a home run by Homer in the second inning.  After failing to put a runner on through three innings, Christ Church tied the score in the fourth on a single from Tom Bennett and a triple (RBI) by David Stierle.  Mike P singled but was left on base in the seventh and the score was still tied at one with one out in the eighth when Mark Nethary homered to give Christ Church the victory.  The Final - Christ Church 2 - St. Matthews Baptist 1.

St, Matthews took the first lead in Game Two on solo home runs by both Bill and Jim in the second.  Bob cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning with a solo home run of his own.  The two run lead was restored in the third on Susan's single and Curtis's triple.  Christ Church again trimmed the lead to one in the sixth on a triple by Jerry and a single (RBI) by Andy Coates.  Christ Church wasted lead off singles by Leah in the first and eight; a two out double by Jerry in the third; and a two out single by Maddie King in the seventh.  Trailing by a run in the ninth, Christ Church was down to their last out when Mark tied the game with a home run to seemingly send the game into extra innings, which were not needed as Maddie produced a walk off home run.  The Final - Christ Church 4 - St. Matthews Baptist 3.

SERIES WIN STREAK AT NINE

Christ Church out-hit host Immanuel 13-8 and 14-9 in winning games one and two before Immanuel turned the tables to out hit Christ Church 14-8 in taking game three.

Game One had a slow start as Immanuel took a 1-0 lead into the fourth inning after a pair of doubles by Alan and Bob in the second inning.  Christ Church's first hit was a third inning single by Bob Stone.  In the fourth, Dick Lutz singled with one out and was still on first with two outs.  David Stierle then tripled (RBI) to tie the game and Christ Church took the lead on a single (RBI) by Vince Richards.  Bob Stone followed with a triple (RBI) and a 3-1 lead after three and a half innings.  After a scoreless fifth, a two out triple by David and an RBI single by Vince increased the lead to three.  A run by Immanuel in the eighth on a single by Buzz and a triple by John, gave Christ Church a two run lead going into the ninth.  In the top of the ninth, Christ Church put the game away with three straight home runs by David, Vince and Bob; a single by Nick Peak, a triple (RBI) by Jerry Hinton and a single (RBI) by Mike Peak as Christ Church sent nine batters to the plate and scored five.  The Final - Christ Church 9 - Immanuel 2.

Christ Church put up four in the first inning of Game Two which turned into a hard fought affair.  Mike P started the inning with a single; Dick tripled (RBI); David singled (RBI); Vince tripled (RBI); and Bob doubled (RBI).  In the second,  Jerry tripled but was stranded.  Christ Church made it 5-0 in the third on a pair of doubles by David and Bob (RBI).  Immanuel made it a one run game with four in the fourth.  David singled, Jared doubled and both scored on a double by Alan.  Brandy homered to score two more.  Christ Church answered in the fifth on a single by Dick and a triple (RBI) by David.  Nick singled in the sixth and David tripled in the seventh but neither scored.  Christ Church added an insurance run in the ninth on a single and triple by Mike P and Dick (RBI).  A double by Adam and a triple by Zack brought tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth before the third out gave Christ Church the win.   The Final - Christ Church 7 - Immanuel 5.

Immanuel never trailed in Game Three after putting three runs on the board in the second (a triple by John; a double by Brandy; and a home run by Bob), although Christ Church did manage to tie the game in the fifth.  In the third, Mike Thompson homered with two outs.  Jerry followed with a triple and scored when Mike P singled (RBI) [4-2].  Immanuel added a run in the fourth on doubles by Jim and Bob [4-1].  Maddie King led off the fifth with a home run.  Mike T and Jerry (RBI) doubled to tie the game at four.  But in the bottom of the inning, Immanuel broke the game open on a double by Larry, singles by Buzz and David and a double by Jared before there were any outs.  Alan's two out double produced the fourth run.  Christ Church fought back in the seventh on a double by Maddie and a home run (2 RBI) by Mike T.  In the Immanuel half of the eighth, Jim reached on an error and came in on Bob's homer.  The Final - Immanuel 10 - Christ Church 6.

SERIES WIN STREAK REACHES EIGHT

In spite of visiting Trinity Presbyterian hitting nine home runs in game two, Christ Church won their eighth straight series Monday night.

In Game One the danger of a two run lead was demonstrated.  Christ Church posted six hits and two runs over the first eight innings.  Jerry Hinton singled in the first and Bob Stone singled in the sixth.  David Stierle added a triple in the eighth.  In the seventh, Christ Church took a two run lead on a single - triple - single by Dick Lutz, Vince Richards (RBI) and Mike Thompson (RBI) which lasted into the ninth.  In the top of the ninth a double by Dave and a home run from Steve tied the game.  In the bottom of the inning, Vince led off with a double and was followed by Andy Coates game winning homer (2 RBI).  The Final - Christ Church 4 - Trinity 2.

Christ Church could manage only seven hits and one run in Game Two.  A double by Mark Nethary and a single by Frank Preston put runners on first and third.  Jerry singled (RBI) to score one but Christ Church left two on.  Vince doubled to lead off the fourth; Mark doubled to lead off the fifth; David singled to lead off the sixth; and Dick singled to lead off the ninth, but Christ Church was unable to score any of those runners.  Trinity got a two out home runs from David in the third and fifth.  In the fifth Larry and Mary followed with home runs of their own.  David added his third home run of the game with two outs in the seventh.  In the ninth, Trinity tallied four straight home runs with one out- Bob, David (his fourth straight), Larry and Mary.  The Final - Trinity 9 - Christ Church 1.

 Trinity failed to score on two hits in Game Three.  Jerry and Dick opened the scoring in the first with a single and triple (RBI).  In the fourth, David led off with a double and scored on Vince's double (RBI).  An out later, Mike T also doubled (RBI) and Bob tripled to close the scoring.  David added a non-run scoring triple in the fifth.  The Final - Christ Church 4 - Trinity 0.
