Ladies and Gentlemen, 

  It has been a difficult season for sure. Things didn’t go as hoped. Thin rosters, Covid rearing it’s ugly head, injuries and other illnesses, disagreements and misunderstandings, goose poop, field condition, field prep guy getting injured and needing surgery and canceled games.   Many issues that interfered with a smooth and satisfying season.

 Now we are headed to the end of the season and looking forward to the playoffs.  We were able to play most of the games.  Jim Holyoake, Pat Kiesling, Tom Knab, Chris Olivier and Lee Schreiner have been great assisting with field prep. I believe we only had one game without an umpire.  The geese went away for the first half of the season but have returned. No easy solution.

HARD has plans for field improvements over the winter months.

Managers and assistants, thank you for your time and energy .

We will not be issuing  championship t-shirts this season, the money will be spent on two large mats for the home plate area (mats are 7’ by 12’). /They are made from rubber backing and artificial turf.  No more sandboxes for batter’s boxes. Hopefully, HARD will also purchase two mats so all fields will have them. 

THE Annual Picnic will be on TUESDAY AUGUST 23RD.  IN THE PICNIC AREA BEHIND THE SOCCER FIELD. RUSS THE PITMASTER WILL BE SERVING UP HIS USUAL GREAT MENU.

COST IS $5.00 PER PERSON. GUESTS ARE WELCOME. IF YOU HAVE BEEN BEFORE, YOU KNOW IT’S A GOOD MEAL FOR AN UNBEATABLE PRICE. IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN BEFORE

TREAT YOURSELF. SOME OLD FRIENDS ARE SCHEDULE TO JOIN US. PICNIC WILL START AFTER GAMES AT ABOUT 12:00. 

Extended league will start (tentatively) on Sept 13 (Tuesday). Minimal cost, no umpires, all players welcome to play. Also, no standings nor stats.

                                 PLAY OFF GAMES IN SIXTIES LEAGUE 2022

Games next week in the 60’s. (August 16)

Buffs (home team) vs. Mudcat Red

Rowdys (home team) vs. Diamonds

Byes:  Rockies (#1 team) and league champion) and Mudcat Black (#2 in league play based on head to head)

Today the Buffs beat the Mudcat Black so both teams were 13-5.  But the Mudcat Black won two of the three games against the Buffs.  Therefore Buffs finished #3 in the league.  The Rockies beat the Rowdys and finished as the #1 team in the league.

The winners of the two games next week will then play the Rockies and Mudcat Black on the 23rd.  Opponents will depend on the games next week.  The two losing teams next week have the option to play each other on the 23rd.
