Softball Team Wins Again, Alone In First Place

The Rotary Club of Sacramento took sole possession of first place on Monday night with a sound beating over Roseville Rotary 19-5.

Sacramento scored and scored and scored, mostly with 2 out base hits up and down the lineup.  Kevin “yellow socks-makes-you-run-faster” Smith-Fagan started a 6-4-3 double play to second baseman Bob Daly to thwart a potential Roseville rally.    Short-timer President Peter “I’ll put on a clinic on how to run the bases” Dannenfelser, played a solid first base.  Bob Miller smothered a line drive at the hot corner that would make most third basemen cry.  “Happy birthday to me”, Bob was heard saying.   The play of the game occurred when catcher “Top Gun” Tim Pinkney speared a screaming liner for an out.  Incredible play!

And the hits kept coming.  Frank Geremia, Mik Miklaus, Jay Lowden and Rick Osen all had multiple hits, hell, we all had hits.   The game ended when undefeated pitcher, John Swentowsky, used only 4 pitches in the last inning to shut the door on Roseville.   A special thanks to our fan base, Barbara Swentowsky, who braved a chilly evening to cheer on the team.
