**** SCORING EXPLANATION:
You might see the above score and wonder, "what the hell? it was a tie game? I thought the home team won it by keeping the tying run on third base in the top of the 9th!!"  Well, here's what happened, as best as I can tell:  Basically, the away team (Ken D's team) scored a run in the 5th inning that wasn't tabulated on the sheet where we track total runs (the "Innings sheet" we call it).  This is extremely rare when this happens.  It appears that Chris A. scored in that inning, although the scoresheet doesn't indicate a hit for him that inning, nor a reached on error, nor a fielder's choice.  So I'm not sure how he actually came around to score that run, but it is listed on the scoresheet, if not the Innings sheet.  Thus, we ended the game prematurely----it was in fact tied at that point (after top of the 9th).  Again, it is a very rare occurrance when there is a scoring error like this.

NOTE: Sacrifice Fly: Eddie R. in the 4th.
NOTE: Ken D.'s 3 doubles tied for second place the record for most doubles in a game [Most = 4, Chris A.]
NOTE: Chris A.'s webgem was a nice catch of an infield popup against the fence near the third base dugout---he ranged over from the pitcher's mound just in time to make the grab. Nominations: Nick W., Scott L., plus several others.
NOTE: Scott L. tagged out Chris A. at 3B in the 6th on the throw from Cuong H. in RF.
NOTE: Richard J. tagged out Daniel T. at 3B in the 4th on the throw from Manny C. in CF.
NOTE: Nick W. lined into a double play that went 7-4.  Nick hit what looked like a hit into short left-centerfield.  But Daniel T. ranged over from LF and made a nice catch on it while running, his glove just inches above the ground.  He then doubled off Paul C. at 2nd base.  The play fell one nomination short of qualifying as a Webgem, however.

Key:
pos = defensive position                   RBI = run batted in
AB = at-bats                                    K = strikeout
H = hits                                          ROE = reached base on fielder's error
R = runs                                         FC = reached base on fielder's choice
2B = double                                    WG = Official Webgem (top defensive play, requires 3 nominations)
3B = triple
HR = homerun
