Congratulations to Griffin’s player Bob Daglian, who knocked one out of the park for the first time, though coming close on many occasions.
We don’t have individual stats for Wednesday’s games. Week in and week out, we have a dedicated group of volunteer scorekeepers tracking each game and each player's efforts. On Wednesday, fate conspired to deprive us of the services of Bonny King, Gerry Mathews, Holly Ward, Harold Baucom, and Bob Asbury. We muddled through, but it wasn’t pretty. Thank you, scorekeepers!
