Well Ramrods have another .500 SIM going 3 and 3... The good news we have expanded our lead to 5 games over the Rollers and 6 games above the Airmen of Chantilly...

I was looking forward to the June 8th game which pitted Sandy Koufax vs. The Ramrods Tom Seaver... a sorta pass the torch games as Koufax retired in 1966 and Seaver entered the NL in 1967... Alas both pitchers didn't perform well as the Ramrods took the game 7-5...

The game that I would like to forget was on June 10th when going into the 8th inning we held a 5-3 lead... Belcher had the lead but a four pitch walk to open the inning to Hoboes Cass Michaels was followed up with a 1-0 fastball being driven for a line drive home run to right field by Frank Torre - exit velocity was 103.8 and distance 363ft ... This tied the game... The 9th inning saw Terry Foster come in and give up 4 runs with the key hit being a RBI single by Cass Michaels to propel the Hoboken team into the lead...

PLAYER OF THE WEEK:

24-year-old Ray Grimes made a few Ocean City headlines during this past week as the rookie first baseman proved he could compete at the plate with his high-school idols. He captured the attention of fans, journalists and Chadwick League officials last week and today took home Player of the Week honors for his effort. He cracked 11 hits in 26 at-bats to put up a .423 average. Grimes collected 2 home runs, 5 RBIs and scored 5 runs. Currently Grimes is hitting .372 and has collected 11 home runs, 33 RBIs and scored 23 times, while playing in 39 games.

19-year-old Barry Foote sent shock waves through Ratified American Baseball Association last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the Doubleday League Player of the Week Award. A newcomer to the league, Foote made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .526 average, 10 hits in 19 at-bats, 2 home runs and 6 runs batted in. Where the Viper Snakes catcher goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Foote certainly made his mark last week. So far this season Foote has hit .322 with 7 home runs, 23 RBIs and scored 16 times.

TEAM STATS:

Would love to send UTL-Ben Chapman down to Mt. Sterling by unfortunately I really don't have a utility player in the organization that is ready to be brought up...

Next SIM will be a real timer at 1800 ET - RIGHT HERE
