Sacramento Softball Team Outlasts Arden Arcade Combo

Sacramento held the combo team of Arden Arcade, North Sacramento and East Sacramento scoreless the final 2 innings to hold onto a 14-12 lead.  The game ended on a smooth 1-6-3 double play started by pitcher, John “who needs Hal” Swentowsky to shortstop, Kevin “I like to roll in the dirt” Smith-Fagan, to first baseman and “short-timer”, Peter Dannenfelser.

The usual cast of characters added plenty of hits and RBI’s with Mik Miklaus leading the hit parade with 4 base hits.  Outfielder Jim Culleton added solid defense, while  Rick Osen played a flawless left field and lived up to the “clean-up hitter” reputation.  The dog days of summer were upon us as the Culleton family, consisting of his 2 children and the family puppy named “Huck”, played in the cool summer evening.

The party didn’t end at the game.  “Pizza and Beverage Bound” ball players included the thirsty and hungry crew of Frank “do we need another pitcher of beer” Geremia, Jay Lowden, Lorcan “I’ll pay next time” Barnes, Bob “can I play catcher” Miller and several others at the local watering hole.  Fan support was supported by Barbara Swentowsky, Tami and Taylor Lowden.

The next game is Monday, June 17, at 8:30 vs. Roseville at the Sacramento Sports Complex.  Rumor has it that Roseville is posing for the championship trophy as of this writing.  Fan support is welcome to stay undefeated.
