Volume 7, Issue 67 – November 13, 2025
Games of Thursday November 13:
A great set of games to conclude the regular season.
10:30 a.m.: Green (8.5 – 7.5) at Orange (13-4):
1 2 3 4 BUFFET FINAL Green 2 2 5 0 8 17 Orange 4 4 5 0 3 16 Pitchers: Green – Chunky Wright; Orange – Ray Pilgrim. Mercenaries: Green – George Brindley and George Romo; Orange – Adam Reddell. Umpires: home – Paul Rubin and Daniel Baladez; bases – Peter Sundquist. Perfect at the plate: Green – Mike Garrison (3 for 3 with a walk) and George Romo (3 for 3 with a double); Orange – Ken Mockler (4 for 4 with a double) and Adam Reddell (3 for 3).
Weather report: 75 degrees, felt like 75; humidity 66%; wind from the south, 10 MPH; mostly sunny, very nice.
Orange entered with a one-game lead over Maroon for the #1 seed and was looking to clinch with a victory. Green needed to win to clinch the #3 seed.
Green scored two runs in the top of the first, Rick Kahn driving in Doc Hobar (one-out single, just beat out a grounder to first base) and Mike Garrison (walk) with a line double to right field. Ray Pilgrim got Chris Waddell to fly out to Terry O’Brien in left field, Rick advancing to third, then retired Greg Lloyd on a grounder to shortstop David Brown.
Orange took the lead with four runs in the bottom half, first tying the game on Ray Pilgrim’s two-run double to left-center – George Brindley initially broke back on the ball, then had to reverse course, and the ball fell in, allowing both Daniel Carvajal (one-out walk) and David Brown (single up the middle that sent Daniel to third) to score. Terry O’Brien followed with a line single to right-center; Ray tried to score, but was thrown out 9-2 by a strong, accurate throw from Rick Kahn to Greg Lloyd. Terry took second on the play and then scored on Ken Mockler’s single to right-center. Singles by Marvin Krabbenhoft and Boo Resnick brought Ken around with the fourth run.
Orange won the second inning 4-2 as well. Ray Pilgrim got two outs to start the top half: Chunky Wright lined a ball to first baseman Daniel Carvajal, who knocked it down, recovered it, and tagged the bag. Steve Browne grounded out to shortstop David Brown, who made a strong throw to beat Steve by a step. George Brindley walked. George Romo ripped a double to the fence in center, George scoring easily from first. Ralph Villela’s double to right-center drove in George Romo, briefly tying the game.
Orange untied it by scoring four runs on six clean singles. With the potential fifth run on second and one out, Chunky Wright escaped the jam, first striking out Marvin Krabbenhoft looking at a pitch that nicked the front of the mat, then retiring Boo Resnick on a fly to George Brindley in left-center.
Both teams scored five times in the third. Green did it without making an out, on five singles and Steve Browne’s triple down the left-field line, which drove in the fourth and fifth runs. Orange responded with five hits to open the home half, four singles and a line double by Clint Fletcher, three runs scoring. Chunky Wright got Ray Pilgrim to pop out to shortstop Ralph Villela and Terry O’Brien to drive a two-strike pitch to the wrong side of the right-field foul line, but Ken Mockler drove in the fourth and fifth runs with a line double to right-center.
And then neither team scored in the fourth: Ray Pilgrim worked around George Romo’s one-out single in the top half; Chunky Wright retired the side in order on three grounders to shortstop David Brown in the bottom half.
On to the buffet, Orange holding a 13-9 lead. Green proceeded to put together a tremendous rally, scoring eight runs on nine hits. Singles by Mike Garrison, Rick Kahn, and Chris Waddell started the inning, Mike coming around to score. Greg Lloyd topped a ball in front of the mat and ran into it, and was correctly called out, dead ball, the runners returned to their bases. Rick scored and Chris took third on Chunky Wright’s pop-fly single to right field. Steve Browne lined a single just past second baseman Adam Reddell and into right field; Chris scored and Chunky’s runner (Doc Hobar, I think) took third. George Brindley hit a short popup behind the mound; Ralph Villela couldn’t reach it on the fly, but Steve couldn’t break for second until the ball fell safe; Ralph ran Steve back to first, was not fooled by Steve’s hilarious last-moment stutter step, and tagged him out, Doc (if it was Doc running for Chunky) meanwhile scoring, tying the game, though with two out.
George Romo grounded a single past third base and into left field, completing a 3-for-3 game, George Brindley advancing to third. Ralph Villela grounded a single past first base, driving in Brindley with the go-ahead run, Romo stopping at second. Doc Hobar came up and slashed a line drive to right field for a triple, both George Romo and Ralph scoring, Green now up by three. Mike Garrison completed a perfect day at the plate with a single to right-center that brought in Doc with the eighth run of the inning, which finally ended with Rick Kahn squaring up and lining a pitch, but within reach of second baseman Adam Reddell.
Green led 17-13, but Orange had its mercenary, Adam Reddell, up first, and then the top of the order. Adam, Clint Fletcher, and Daniel Carvajal each singled, Adam coming around to score. David Brown, looking for a 4-for-4 day, drove a pitch to right-center, but was denied by Rick Kahn, who got a good jump on the ball, raced in and to his left, and made the catch for the first out, Clint tagging up and scoring on the play.
That cut Green’s lead to two runs. Ray Pilgrim lined a single up the middle, Daniel stopping at second. Clint Fletcher ran for Ray, the potential tying run. Terry O’Brien hit a pop fly to short left-center that fell in for a hit; the runners had to wait to see if it would fall in, and advanced just one base. So: bases loaded, one out, tying run at second, winning run at first, Ken Mockler at the plate, already 3 for 3 in the game. Here’s what happened:
November 13: Ken Mockler’s hit in the bottom of the buffet
Ken lashed a single to left-center, his fourth hit of the game. Clint, running hard, took a wide turn around third base. Base coach Larry Shupe held Clint up, and I can see why – Mike Garrison got to the ball quickly and immediately threw in to shortstop Ralph Villela. Clint running hard, Ralph a great arm, Greg Lloyd a good catcher – I have no doubt the play at home would have been very close. Clint stopped short, tried to get back to the base, but when Ralph turned and saw Clint retreating, he snapped a throw to third baseman George Romo, who applied the tag for the key second out.
Instead of a tie game, Orange still trailed by one, and was down to its last out, albeit with Terry, the tying run, now on second. Marvin Krabbenhoft came up:
November 13: Final out, Green-Orange game
Marvin lined Chunky’s first pitch down the right side, but within reach of first baseman Chris Waddell, who squeezed it for the final out. The video is all of five seconds’ duration, but Chris wasn’t wrong when he said it took an eternity for Marvin’s liner to get to him.
Final score: Green 17, Orange 16, Green extending its winning streak to five games and clinching the #3 seed while giving Maroon an opening to win a bye on tourney day one.
11:30 a.m.: Gray (5-11) at Maroon (10-6):
1 2 3 4 BUFFET FINAL Gray 1 0 4 2 1 8 Maroon 5 1 0 0 3 9 Pitchers: Gray – Ray Pilgrim; Maroon – Jeff Stone. Mercenaries: Gray – Ray Pilgrim; Maroon – Daniel Baladez, Jim Foelker, Doc Hobar, Matt Levitt, Jim McAnelly, Jack McDermott, and Peter Sundquist. Umpires: home – Marvin Krabbenhoft; bases – Clint Fletcher. Perfect at the plate: Gray – Tommy Gillis (3 for 3); Maroon – Peter Sundquist (2 for 2 with a walk).
Weather update: 80 degrees, felt like 81. Humidity 51%, wind from the south at 11 MPH, mostly sunny.
Maroon needed to win to secure the #1 seed and a bye on Monday; Gray needed to win to clinch the #6 feed and secure Green as its opponent Monday.
We got another terrific game decided in the buffet.
Maroon jumped to a quick lead, as Jeff Stone held Gray to one run on three singles in the top of the first, the third a fly by Adam Reddell to Peter Sundquist in right-center that Peter got to, but couldn’t hold, Paul Rubin scoring on the play. Jeff then got both George Romo and Johnny Lee to hit two-strike fouls for the second and third outs, stranding Jim Aaron at third base.
Maroon then came up and scored five times on six hits while making just one out. Scott Wright, Jeff Stone, and Tom Kelm, the only Maroon players actually playing for Maroon, each singled, loading the bases for the mercenaries. Peter Sundquist’s single through the 5-6 hole scored Scott and Jeff. George Romo fielded Jack McDermott’s grounder down the third-base side and got the force at third. Matt Levitt popped a double to left field, just fair, Peter scoring. Doc Hobar’s single up the middle scored Jack and Matt with the fourth and fifth runs.
Gray put runners on second and third to start the second inning, on Morgan Witthoft’s double to left-center and Dave Jaffe’s single through the 5-6 hole, Dave taking second on the throw in to the infield, but wound up not scoring. Jeff Stone caught Hal Darman looking at a called strike three for the first out. He got Ray Pilgrim to ground a ball to shortstop Jimmy Aaron; as I’m remembering it, Jimmy’s throw pulled Johnny Lee off the first base bag, and Ray was safe, but Dave got caught off second base – he’d started to advance, not realizing that Morgan was holding at third, and he wound up thrown out 6-3-1-6, Jeff belatedly realizing he had a play at second and getting the out there. Paul Rubin followed with a fly to left-center: Matt Levitt initially started in and to his left, then reversed and moved back and to his right, and made a run-saving catch for the third out.
Maroon got a single station-to-station run in the home half: Jim Foelker led off with a line through the 5-6 hole; took second on Jim McAnelly’s one-out walk; took third on Scott Wright’s 4-6 force-out grounder; and scored on Jeff Stone’s single to left-center field. Tom Kelm came up and hit a deep fly to left field, but Tommy Gillis made a good play going back to haul it in for the third out.
Gray got back in the game in the third, scoring four runs on five singles in the top half, Ray Pilgrim holding Maroon scoreless in the bottom half. Jim Aaron made a bid for extra bases for Gray with a deep fly to right-center after Tommy Gillis singled leading off, but Peter Sundquist was playing him almost at the fence and hardly moved in catching a ball that likely would have been well up or even over the fence at Krieg 3. Peter led off the home half with a single, but Ray Pilgrim got the next three batters to hit into force plays – Jack McDermott to shortstop Jim Aaron, Matt Levitt and Doc Hobar to third baseman George Romo.
Gray went back into the lead with two runs in the top of the fourth, on four singles that opened the inning. The second of these was a grounder, hit by Paul Rubin, to shortstop Jack McDermott’s left that Jack got to, then tried to flip the ball backhanded to Doc Hobar covering the bag, but threw it past Doc, the runners moving up to second and third. They both scored on Tommy Gillis’s single to left-center. Jim Aaron followed with a pop-fly single to right field, putting runners on first and second with none out. But Jeff Stone worked out of the jam. He got Adam Reddell to pop a ball behind first base, Doc Hobar ranging well to his left to run the ball down, an outstanding catch. George Romo came up, refused a walk, and drove a pitch to left-center; Matt Levitt got to it, the ball popped into and out of his glove, and he grabbed it mid-air for the second out. Tagging up, Tommy headed for third on contact and was safe. There was discussion of whether Tommy had left on contact; I’m pretty certain he did not. Jeff then got Johnny Lee to ground back to the box to end the inning.
Ray Pilgrim then worked a scoreless bottom half, working around singles by Daniel Baladez, with one out, and Scott Wright, with two. Morgan Witthoft caught Jeff Stone’s liner to right-center for the third out.
Gray led by one entering the buffet. Jeff Stone got two outs to start the inning. He made a good play to his backhand of Morgan Witthoft’s sharp grounder back to the box, throwing to first for the first out. Dave Jaffe grounded out to third baseman Scott Wright. Hal Darman took a runner from home – Dave or Morgan, I think, but I can’t remember for sure – who beat out his grounder to shortstop, then scored from first on Ray Pilgrim’s pop-fly base hit to left-center field, a ball Matt Levitt got to, only to have it pop out of his mitt and fall in safely. Ray took second on the late throw home, but was stranded when Paul Rubin grounded out to Jeff Stone.
Maroon came up needing two to tie, three to win. Tom Kelm led off with a ground single to third base. Peter Sundquist walked, completing a perfect day at the plate. Jack McDermott lined a single to left-center, driving in Ray’s pinch-runner (Jim Foelker, I think, but again I’m not certain), Peter advancing to third. Matt Levitt drew a walk, loading the bases for Doc Hobar. Here’s Doc’s at bat (apologies, out of focus at the start):
November 13: Maroon ties the game on Doc Hobar’s RBI force out
Jim Aaron made a good play to is left of Doc’s grounder and tossed to Adam Reddell covering the bag for the force; Adam had no chance of doubling up Doc, and meanwhile Peter scored the tying run while Jack moved to third.
Jim Foelker was up next. He just needed to find the green, and that is what he did:
November 13: Maroon walks off a 9-8 victory on Jim Foelker’s RBI single
Jim’s clean single to left field brought in Jack with the winning run.
Final score: Maroon 9, Gray 8 – Maroon posts its first walk-off win of the session (all seven teams recorded at least one walk-off victory in Session 4), extends its winning streak to four games, and secures a first-round bye. (Orange and Maroon have identical full-season records of 33.5 – 22.5; Maroon wins the tie breaker, with a 5-4 head-to-head record versus Orange.)
There was some grousing about Maroon using mercenaries in seven of its ten lineups slots, but if the Normandy landings teach us anything, it’s that you go to war with the forces available to you.
12:30 p.m.: Red (8-8) at Blue (6.5 – 9.5):
1 2 3 4 5 BUFFET FINAL Red 1 1 0 5 5 9 21 Blue 5 5 1 0 0 5 16 Pitchers: Red – Joe Bernal; Blue – David Pittard. Mercenaries: Red – David Brown and Johnny Lee; Blue – Clint Fletcher, Chris Waddell, and Scott Wright. Umpires: home – Jeff Stone; bases – Larry Shupe. Perfect at the plate: Red – Mark Dolan (4 for 4) and Jack Spellman (5 for 5 with a home run); Blue – Chris Waddell (3 for 3). Home run: Jack Spellman (inside the park) (5).
Red was positioned to earn the #6 feed by defeating Blue. Blue was not playing for anything, as Green’s win over Orange at 10:30 locked Green into the #3 seed and Blue into the #4.
This one was a roller-coaster. Blue jumped to a commanding early lead, outscoring Red 5-1 in each of the first two innings. Red’s lead-off hitter singled and scored in each frame, but that was all they could manage. Running from home for Johnny Lee in the second inning, Mark Dolan forgot himself and advanced to second on an overthrow following a single, and was called out, ending the inning.
Blue maxed out in each inning, scoring five times without making an out in the first, on six singles and Tom Brownfield’s double, a line drive scorched past third base (I was lucky to get a little piece of glove on the ball, it was hit really hard); and on four singles and doubles by Tom Bellavia and, again, Tom Brownfield in the second, the last three runs, on Brownfield’s two-run double and David Pittard’s single, scoring after two were out.
Even worse futility for Red in the third inning, as they were held scoreless despite getting back-to-back one-out singles by the Jacks, McDermott and Spellman. David Pittard got Anthony Galindo to fly out to Steve Sandall in deep left field and Joe Bernal to ground into an inning-ending 6-4 force, George Brindley to Tom Brownfield. Blue won the inning by scoring a single run on three consecutive two-out singles by its mercenaries, Clint Fletcher, Scott Wright, and Chris Waddell.
Blue led 11-2, and the mood in the visitors dugout was not good. But Red finally started hitting in the fourth, knocking seven hits – six singles and David Brown’s two-run double – and pushing across five runs. Joe Bernal then worked a scoreless home half. Peter Sundquist made a good play on Tom Bellavia’s fly to right-center to start the inning. George Brindley drew a walk. Tom Brownfield hit a sharp grounder to third base that Jack Spellman got a happy hop on; shortstop David Brown alertly raced for the second-base bag when he saw where the ball was hit, and called for the throw there; his momentum carrying him toward first, David made a strong throw to complete an unusual, heads-up 5-6-3 double play – I don’t think any second baseman in the B League could have made that pivot successfully, owing to their momentum being against them.
Red then scored five times again in the top of the fifth, on seven singles, the last two with two out, improbably taking a one-run lead.
Joe Bernal worked a 1-2-3 bottom half, getting David Pittard to pop out to second baseman Mark Dolan, Jim Foelker to ground out to shortstop David Brown (strong throw to beat a speedy runner), and Daniel Baladez to line out to third base.
Red’s first five batters singled to start the buffet, three runs scoring. (At that point, 19 of Red’s last 22 batters had hit safely, 18 of those hits singles.) Jim McAnelly’s pop to the pitcher was an infield fly, caught by David Pittard. David Brown smacked his second double of the game, driving in the fourth run of the inning. Johnny Lee’s fly to Clint Fletcher in right-center brought in Rolando Rodriguez with the fifth run, David Brown advancing to third. Peter Sundquist singled in David. Jack McDermott singled, his fourth straight hit. Jack Spellman got hold of a pitch and drove it to right field, curving over and away from Jim Foelker; Peter and Jim both scored, I took an aggressive turn around third and ran almost to the commit line, and when the relay home skipped past catcher Daniel Baladez, I was able to trot home with a cheap-ass home run. Those three runs made the score 21-11, and the flip-flop was invoked.
Clint Fletcher led off the bottom of the buffet with a pop fly single to short right field that Mark Dolan ranged back and got a glove on, but couldn’t hold – tough play (trust me, I know). Mark then made a good snag to his backhand of Scott Wright’s liner, for the first out. Chris Waddell, completing a 3-for-3 game, and Steve Sandall both singled, loading the bases. Tom Bellavia drew a walk, forcing Clint home. George Brindley singled, Chris and Steve scoring, Tom taking third. Tom Brownfield skied a ball to right field; Rolando Rodriguez made the catch for the second out, Tom Bellavia tagging up and scoring, George taking second. David Pittard singled, putting runners at the corners. Jim Foelker singled, too, George scoring. That brought Blue within five runs, but Joe Bernal got Daniel Baladez to pop up to shortstop, David Brown moving back onto the outfield grass to make the catch to end the game.
Final score: Red 21, Blue 16, Red winning the #6 feed by dint of its full-season winning percentage being .421 to Gray’s .418.
While the Battle of Bunker Hill rages, Jack McDermott, Peter Sundquist, and Anthony Galindo present Jack Spellman with a barely deserved Pluckers coupon.

Schedule for Monday November 17 (50 minute clock):
10:30 a.m.: #7 seed Gray at #2 seed Orange
11:30 a.m.: #6 seed Red at #3 seed Green
12:30 p.m.: #5 seed Purple at #4 seed Blue
#1 seed Maroon has a bye with first priority for the draw
Schedule for Tuesday November 18 (7-inning games):
10:00 a.m: #4/5 seed winner at #1 seed
11:15 a.m.: #3/6 winner versus #2/7 winner (highest seed is home team)
12:30 p.m.: lowest seed winner at highest seed winner (championship game)
Players from losing teams on Monday have first priority for the draw
Preview: The Vegas sports books no doubt favor the higher seeds in each of Monday’s games, if only based on their season run differentials – the lower seeds have differentials between -38 and -96, the higher seeds between +18 and +68. But if we’ve learned anything from past tourneys, this season, and just today, anything can happen. Will there be an upset Monday? One thing is certain: Only time will tell.
Keggy’s Korner:
Mark your calendar: Boo Resnick and Hotcakes will be playing at Donn’s Depot, 1600 West Fifth Street, on Saturday, December 6, from 9-ish p.m. to 1-ish a.m.
Apologies, not a lot of pictures today. There were no Ohtani Awards won, and just a single home run, which borderline wasn’t really a homer, more of a triple-plus-overthrow. I thought the games were worth recapping in depth. Looking forward to another great set on Monday.
