Lake Fairways will finish 2022 in 3rd place for the second year in a row. With 1 Game left in the season, we are currently in Third place A quick recap for the games from Feb 21st to Mar 14th.
21Feb, Monday night softball, tuff loss for Lake Fairways, we started well getting 4 runs in the first and held them to 0 until the 4th inning. We gave up 3 runs, then 1 and then 2 to fall behind 4-6. Our 7th inning rally came up short. Our best hitters John JJ Johnson 3-3 and Brian Flatliner Batterton 2-2. We had a great turn out of fans and past players. Thanks for coming out, we will be back on Wednesday for Del Tura. Come out, makes for a great date night, bring your chairs or sit together in the stands, get a great picture with the new banner.
23Feb, Lake Fairways fans, with a heavy heart this morning, I must report that we lost to Del Tura 3-10. They came out strong taking advantage of some defensive errors. We struggled at the bats with only Gerry Rifle Kelly going 2-2 and John Rocketman Donahue 3-3. Good play between John Pope Grab and Fran Kid Dempsey pitching for us. Looks like everyone is still enjoying a night at the ball field. See everyone on Monday night at 5:30pm as we work to get our groove back and make a run to get back in First place. Pictures with the new banner are looking great. I love it when couples kiss for the camera, love is everlasting.
28Feb, thank you for coming out to the game last night. It was an intense game. We were behind the whole game until the 5 and 6 innings where we started getting some hits and breaks to score 8 runs. Tom Gums Welsh went 3-3 for us. Key hits by Eddy Twightlight Zone Claps, Brian Flatliner Batterton and Jeff TBD Davis got us tied. A Sacrifice fly from Tom Sarge Kostera to get the winning run in the 7th. Great pitching for Fran Kid Dempsey.
2Mar, Great turn out at the game on Wednesday. It was packed in the stands, around the stands and down the first base line. Unfortunately, we were almost completely shut down, Herons Glen played a great defense, the outfield caught everything hit to them. Our 1st four batters Al Woody Woods, Paul Wolf McMeel, John Rocketman Donahue, and John JJ Johnson had 5 of our 7 hits but got only 2 runs. We fought hard but they had consistent hits in the 3rd inning to get 5 runs on us. Can’t say how much we appreciate the support of the community coming out to cheer us on. We hope to come back on Monday fighting again as we only have 4 games left.
9Mar, Update from Wednesday night at Carmelita Park. We played well against an improved Del Tura Turos team. We finally got the bats going to get 5 runs in the 1st inning. They fought back with 4 in their 1st. We got a handle on them and in the end won 18-9. Al Woody Woods and Jeff Rookie Davis went 3-3, Al with an in the park HR & 3B and Jeff with 2 3B.

14Mar, Wow, extra innings going into 9 innings to lose by 1 run with a runner in scoring position. We had Herons Glen back against the wall into the 4th inning where they got 5 runs and took the lead 5-3. In the bottom of the 7th, we hit, fought back and tied the game, then we allowed Herons Glen 1 run, while we struggled with 5 strikeouts in the 8th and 9th inning to lose 5-6. We struggled with getting hits but Tom Gums Welsh led with 2-3, John JJ Johnson had 2 RBIs. Its was also a welcome back to Rick Tubs Miller who was back after getting his heart repaired. He made some great catches for us in the outfield. With the last game coming on Wednesday night
