Sacramento Rotary Softball Team Wins

The Sacramento Rotary softball team took the first step in repeating as champions with a solid 9-4 victory over Elk Grove Monday evening at the Sacramento Sports Complex.

Defense was the key to this win.  Shortstop Kevin Smith-Fagan led the defense with his glove fielding everything and throwing out Elk Grove hitters.  Rookie Bob Miller contributed with a dazzling play at third base.  Second baseman Bob Daly tackled a tricky bad hop to add to the infield defensive show.  President Peter Dannenfelser impressed everyone making the move from outfielder last year to first base and handling every opportunity.  John Swentowsky pitched 7 strong innings in relief of vacationing Hal Bartholomew.  Some key hitting by “Top Gun” Tim Pinkney, Mik Miklaus, Rick Osen, Jim Culleton and Jay Lowden created scoring opportunities in which Elk Grove could not overcome.

Loud cheering was heard from the fan base of the Breuer family, Todd Andrews, Barbara Swentowsky and Marina Miller.

Next game is Monday, June 10, at 6:30 vs. the Arden Arcade combo team at the Sacramento Sports Complex.  Rumor has it that the team is pizza and beverage bound right after the game.  Any and all fans are welcome to come out and cheer the team on!
