A group of SaddleBrooke competitive players, led by manager Tim Ward, played a doubleheader March 16 against a team from Apache Junction.
The home team proved to not be a very good host, winning two games with scores of 25 to 5 and 27 to 14.
In the first game the fine pitching of David Bohlman was backed by a balanced hitting attack. Gus Marano, Joe Sanders, Rick Hanson, Harold Weinenger and Bruce Fink all had several hits.
Game two saw an outstanding pitching and fielding performance by Rick Keagy. Leading hitters were Bill Spevak, Tim Ward, Charlie LaNeve, Bob Chiarello and Don Jones.
There will be a rematch in October when SaddleBrooke will travel to Apache Junction.
