Games of Tuesday November 18 – End-of-Season Tourney, day 2:
10:00 a.m.: Blue, #4 seed (28-29) at Maroon, #1 seed (33.5 – 22.5):
1 2 3 4 5 6 BUFFET FINAL Blue 1 5 1 2 2 3 4 18 Maroon 4 3 0 0 1 1 3 12 Pitchers: Blue – Joe Bernal; Maroon – Jeff Stone. Mercenaries: Blue – Joe Bernal and Jack Spellman; Maroon – Peter Sundquist and Ralph Villela. Umpires: home – Terry Watts; bases – Gary Coyle and Jack McDermott.
Weather report: Forgot to check, but it felt similar to yesterday – mid 70s, fairly high humidity (guessing 75-80% at the start of play), minimal wind, a bit overcast, the clouds burning off over the course of the day’s action.
Blue scored a single run in the top of the first to start the day off: Steve Sandall singled leading off, took third on Tom Bellavia’s one-out single, and scored on George Brindley’s sacrifice fly to Ken Brown in right-center field. Maroon then grabbed the lead with four runs in the home half, on six singles, taking extra bases on a couple of ill-considered throws.
Blue shook that off in the top of the second. Jeff Stone retired the first two batters, but the next six reached: three singles, by Daniel Baladez and mercenaries Joe Bernal and Jack Spellman, Daniel’s and Joe’s pinch-runners both scoring on Spellman’s hit when the ball was thrown around; Steve Sandall doubled and Jimmy Sneed walked, loading the bases; and Tom Bellavia cleared them with an outfielder-gapping double.
Maroon scored three runs on four singles and Scott Wright’s sacrifice fly to George Brindley in right-center to reclaim the lead, 7-6 through two.
Blue scored a single run in the third – Tom Brownfield singled with one out, his runner took third on David Pittard’s single to right, and then scored on Jim Foelker’s sacrifice fly, which was caught by Ken Brown, who’d shifted over from right-center to play on the line in left-center. That singleton was enough to win the inning, which ended with the teams tied 7-7, as Joe Bernal held Maroon scoreless in the bottom half: he got Ivan Budiselic and Jimmie Maloy to ground out to second baseman David Pittard, allowed singles to Ralph Villela and Peter Sundquist, then retired Ken Brown on a fly to George Brindley in right-center, a fine running catch.
Blue went ahead with two runs in the top of the fourth. Joe Bernal and Jack Spellman led off with singles, putting runners on the corners for the top of the order. Steve Sandall got Joe’s runner in with a sacrifice fly to Ken Brown in right-center. Spellman’s runner (Jim Foelker, I believe) took third on Jimmy Sneed’s double up the middle, and then scored on Tom Bellavia’s ground out to second baseman Scott Wright, who made an excellent play to his right to take a hit away from Tom.
Joe Bernal worked a 1-2-3 bottom half, getting Bobby Miller to ground back to the box (good play by Joe, smothering the ball), Scott Wright to line out to first baseman Tom Brownfield, who stretched to the max to his left to make the grab; and Jeff Stone on a pop behind first base that David Pittard ran down in short right field, another good defensive play.
Tom Brownfield – yeah, AI thinks that’s Tom – snags Scott Wright’s liner in the bottom of the fourth.
Blue led 9-7 through four, and would never relinquish that lead. They won the fifth inning 2-1, scoring on two-out RBI singles by its mercenaries, Joe Bernal and Jack Spellman, in the top half. Joe got two outs to start the bottom half, retiring Don Solberg on a two-strike foul and Tom Kelm on a one-hop smash down the third-base side, hard enough that Spellman had time to throw out Ken Brown running from home for Tom. Maroon’s next three batters hit safely – singles by Ivan Budiselic and Jimmie Maloy, then Ralph Villela’s RBI double – for Maroon’s single run in the inning, which ended with Peter Sundquist squaring up a pitch but lining it right at Spellman for the third out.
The sixth inning started with Jimmy Sneed, Tom Bellavia, and George Brindley knocking singles, Jimmy coming around to score. Tom scored and George took second on Tom Brownfield’s sacrifice fly to Don Solberg in deep left field. David Pittard’s single put runners on the corners, and George scored on Jim Foelker’s 6-4 force out, Ralph Villela to Scott Wright.
Joe Bernal again held Maroon to one run, on three singles, in the bottom half. Bobby Miller reached on a one-out single, a liner to third that Spellman wasn’t able to hold on to, and then made a poor, unnecessarily hurried throw to first on. Bobby advanced on Scott Wright’s grounder back to the box, Joe knocking the ball down and recovering in time to throw out Scott. Jeff Stone then singled Bobby in.
Blue led 14-9 entering the buffet. Jeff Stone retired the mercenaries, Joe Bernal and Spellman, on grounders, to shortstop and back to the box, to open the inning, but Blue’s next five batters reached, four scoring: Steve Sandall singled and scored on Jimmy Sneed’s triple; Tom Bellavia reached on a single, as Jeff Stone fielded his grounder but the throw to first was mishandled, Jimmy holding at third; George Brindley doubled, Tom scoring; and Tom Brownfield singled up the middle, George scoring. Those four runs put Blue up by nine, and the flip-flop was invoked.
The bottom four batters in Maroon’s lineup reached to start the bottom of the buffet: Ivan Budiselic drew a walk, and Jimmie Maloy, Ralph Villela, and Peter Sundquist singled, Ivan scoring on Ralph’s hit, Jimmie scoring on Peter’s while Ralph took third. Ken Brown flied a ball to right field; Jim Foelker made the catch, Ralph tagging up and scoring what proved to be the game’s final run. Joe got Bobby Miller to line a ball right at Ken Brown in right-center for the second out, and Scott Wright to fly out to Jim in right to end the game.
Final score: Blue 18, Maroon 12
11:15 a.m.: Red, #6 feed (25-33) at Orange, #2 seed (34.5 – 22.5):
1 2 3 4 5 6 BUFFET FINAL Red 1 2 0 5 1 2 0 11 Orange 5 5 0 5 2 4 X 21 Pitchers: Red – Joe Bernal; Orange – Ray Pilgrim. Umpires: home – Terry Watts; bases – Dave Berra. Perfect at the plate: Red – Dale Fugate (3 for 3 with a walk); Orange – Peter Atkins, Ken Mockler, and Larry Shupe (all 3 for 3 with a double), Clint Fletcher (4 for 4 with a home run), and Boo Resnick (3 for 3). Home runs: Mark Dolan (inside the park) (1) and Clint Fletcher (inside the park) (1).
Dave Berra’s weather update: Breezy, partly cloudy, warm and humid.
Short version: Red had trouble getting untracked, wasn’t able to contain Orange, didn’t win a single inning, and fell to a superior team.
Peter Sundquist doubled and Jack McDermott singled him in to start the game, but Ray Pilgrim retired the next three batters, and then Orange went to town, scoring five times on six hits – three singles and doubles by Daniel Carvajal, David Brown, and Ken Mockler – without making an out in the home half.
More of the same in the second inning. In the top half Rolando Rodriguez singled with one out and Mark Dolan hit ball that skipped past right fielder Larry Shupe and most of the way to the fence, Rolando and Mark both circling the bases on Mark’s first home run of the 2025 season. Dale Fugate followed with a single and was forced out at second 5-4 on Jim McAnelly’s grounder to third baseman Ken Mockler. Peter Sundquist singled, too, but the inning ended with second baseman Peter O’Brien making a good play to his right on Jack McDermott’s hard grounder and stepping on second for the force.
Mark Dolan homers in the top of the second for Red.
Orange then came up and scored another five runs in the bottom of the frame, though they did make one out in doing so. Four of the first five batters, Orange’s 7-11 hitters, singled, one run scoring. Lead-off batter Clint Fletcher then came up and lashed a drive to the fence in center field for an inside-the-park grand slam, somehow Clint’s first home run of the season.
Clint Fletcher responds with an inside-the-park grand slam with a reverse twist in the bottom half. Spoiler alert: it was the last home run of the 2025 season.
Orange held serve over the next two innings. Neither team scored in the third. Ray Pilgrim retired Red’s first two hitters in the top half, allowed a walk to Gary Coyle and a single to Joe Bernal, then got Rolando Rodriguez to ground into a 4-6 force, Terry O’Brien to David Brown. Joe Bernal retired the side in order in the home half, getting Orange’s 2-3-4 hitters on balls in the air: Daniel Carvajal lined out to third baseman Gary Coyle, David Brown flied out to Rolando Rodriguez in right, and Ray Pilgrim flied out to Peter Sundquist in right-center.
Both teams maxed out in the fourth. Red got its five runs on six singles and Peter Sundquist’s walk while making just one out; Orange knocked five singles, Peter Atkins and Larry Shupe doubled (Larry’s hit a drive over Jack McDermott in left field, an impressive swing), and also made just one out.
Red pushed across a single run in the top of the fifth. Joe Bernal and Rolando Rodriguez both walked to open the inning. Mark Dolan’s 6-4 force out left runners on the corners for Dale Fugate, who singled in Gary Coyle, running for Joe (I think). But the inning ended with Terry O’Brien starting a 4-6-3 double play on Jim McAnelly’s grounder, David Brown on the pivot. (Impressively, sort of, this was the only double play Orange turned in the game.)
Orange won the inning by scoring twice in the bottom half, kept from adding to its lead by Peter Sundquist in right-center. Daniel Carvajal and David Brown singled to start the inning, Daniel taking third on David’s hit, David advancing to second on the throw to third. The runners held on Ray Pilgrim’s ground out, back to the box, then both moved up, Daniel scoring, on Terry O’Brien’s sacrifice fly to Peter in right-center, a good running catch to his left. Ken Mockler and Peter Atkins both singled, each completing a 3-for-3 game at the plate, Ken’s hit bringing in David. Terry Thompson hit a sinking line drive to center field; both Peter and left-center fielder Anthony Galindo broke for the ball, but Peter called Anthony off and made a tumbling catch, the best defensive play of the day, ending the rally.
Trailing 17-9 and down to its last six outs, Red needed a big final five-run inning, but managed only two runs on four singles. Orange then gave itself more of a cushion going into the buffet by scoring four times on four singles, by its first four batters, and David Brown’s double. Joe Bernal retired both Ray Pilgrim (grounder to shortstop, David taking third) and Terry O’Brien (fly to Anthony Galindo in left-center) to keep the fifth run from scoring, but Orange led 21-11 entering the buffet.
Mark Dolan singled to start the buffet, and Dale Fugate completed a perfect final game of his season by drawing a walk. But Ray Pilgrim retired the next three batters. David Brown moved to the 5-6 hole to field Jim McAnelly’s grounder, throwing to third for the force on the leading runner. (Consensus on the Red bench: no other B League shortstop gets to that ball.) Peter Sundquist flied out to Terry Thompson in right-center. Jack McDermott hit a sharp grounder to shortstop, David fielded it cleanly and flipped to Terry O’Brien for the game-ending force.
Final score: Orange 21, Red 11
12:30 p.m.: Blue, #4 seed (29-29) at Orange, #2 seed (35.5 – 22.5)
1 2 3 4 5 6 BUFFET FINAL Blue 3 0 1 5 5 4 0 18 Orange 0 1 3 4 5 0 6 19 Pitchers: Blue – David Pittard; Orange – Ray Pilgrim. Mercenaries: Blue – Jim McAnelly and Scott Wright. Umpires: home – Terry Watts; bases – Jack Spellman. Perfect at the plate: Blue – Jim McAnelly (4 for 4).
The 2025 B League season ended with a barn-burner of a game – I said, as it was going on, that it felt like a 1970s heavyweight championship fight, like the Thrilla in Manilla or the Rumble in the Jungle.
It was actually a defense-first battle in the early going. Blue jumped on top, scoring three times in the top of the first on four singles and a walk to Tom Brownfield. With three in, runners on the corners, and just one out, Ray Pilgrim escaped the jam thanks to a 6-4-3 double play on Jim Foelker’s grounder to shortstop David Brown, who made a good clean feed to second baseman Terry O’Brien; Terry had to hurry his throw to get speedy Jim, and it was in the dirt, but Daniel Carvajal dug it out cleanly, an excellent, clutch play.
David Pittard held Orange scoreless in the home half. He retired Clint Fletcher on a pop into short right field, second baseman Tom Brownfield ranging back to make the catch, and got Daniel Carvajal to fly out to Steve Sandall in left field. David Brown and Ray Pilgrim singled, but Terry O’Brien grounded back to the box for the third out.
Blue didn’t score in the second, Ray Pilgrim working around Jim McAnelly’s two-out single to right field, and Orange got on the board with a single run in the home half: Peter Atkins doubled with one out and scored on Boo Resnick’s hard one-hop single into right field, too hot for Tom Brownfield to handle.
Blue got a single run in the top of the third. Jimmy Sneed and Tom Bellavia opened the frames with singles. George Brindley popped out to Ray Pilgrim (infield fly). Tom Brownfield grounded a single through the 5-6 hole, Jimmy scoring. But Ray Pilgrim retired the next two batters, getting David Pittard to foul out to first baseman Daniel Carvajal and Jim Foelker to ground into a 6-4 force.
Orange then tied the game with three runs in the home half, all scored after two were out. Clint Fletcher singled to start the inning, then David Pittard got Daniel Carvajal to fly out to Steve Sandall in left field (again) and David Brown to pop out to the middle of the infield, just in front of second base – both Jimmy Sneed and Tom Brownfield converged on the ball and called for it, but Tom’s height and reach (see photo from the 10:00 game) determined who would actually make the catch. The third out proved tough to get. Ray Pilgrim walked. Terry O’Brien grounded a ball up the middle; Jimmy Sneed almost reached it, but it got through for a single, loading the bases. Ken Mockler popped a ball into short left-center field, just out of reach; Clint and David Brown, running for Ray, both were off on contact and scored, Terry racing to third. Peter Atkins singled off David Pittard glove, the ball caroming past second baseman Tom Brownfield, Terry scoring to tie the game at 4-4. Terry Thompson’s pop to Jimmy Sneed on the outfield grass behind shortstop ended the inning.
The bats came alive in the fourth and fifth innings. Blue scored five times in the top of the fifth, on four singles and doubles by Jimmy Sneed and Tom Bellavia, and even their two outs – Steve Sandall’s liner to left fielder Peter Atkins and George Brindley’s liner to shortstop David Brown – were hard hit. Orange got four back in the home half, on six consecutive one-out hits, five singles and David Brown’s double to right field, just fair. David’s double drove in the first two runs – there’d been a near-gaffe on the bases moments earlier, when Larry Shupe, at third, did not score on Daniel Carvajal’s pop-fly single to left-center, as his teammates yelled at Larry to tag up, which he didn’t need to do, causing him to retreat after taking a few steps toward home. Didn’t matter: Larry and Clint Fletcher scored on David’s two-bagger, Daniel Carvajal scored on Ray Pilgrim’s single, and David scored on Terry O’Brien’s single, Ray’s and Terry’s hits identical line drives to right field.
Both teams scored five times on six hits while making two outs in the fifth inning. All of Blue’s runs came after two were out, Orange nearly escaping the inning – after David Pittard singled to center leading off, Jim Foelker grounded to shortstop David Brown, but David’s quick flip handcuffed Terry O’Brien and fell to the ground, everyone safe. Ray Pilgrim then got Daniel Baladez to pop out to David at short (infield fly) and Scott Wright to fly out to Clint Fletcher in left-center, David Pittard tagging and taking third and what could have been the third out. Given the opportunity, Blue’s next four batters – Jim McAnelly, Steve Sandall, Jimmy Sneed, and Tom Bellavia – each singled, five runs coming across.
Unfazed, Orange matched that in the home half. Terry Thompson (line drive to left-center) and Boo Resnick (pop fly to right field, just fair) singled to open the inning. Larry Shupe popped out to shortstop Jimmy Sneed (infield fly). Clint Fletcher’s single to right field loaded the bases. Daniel Carvajal, master of situational hitting, delivered the first run with a sacrifice fly to left-center, caught by Tom Bellavia.
I’ve been holding on to this haiku just for this occasion:
Dan’l Carvajal:
King of the sacrifice fly,
Clutch hitter supreme.
That was actually the second out of the inning, and only the first run in, but the next three Orange batters took care of business: David Brown singled to center, Boo scoring from second and the runners advancing on the throw in. Ray Pilgrim singled, also up the middle, Clint and David racing home. And Terry O’Brien tripled to right field, past Jim Foelker, scoring Ray’s runner from first with the fifth run.
On to the sixth, the final five-run inning of the season. George Brindley doubled to start the top of the inning, and Tom Brownfield followed with a fly-ball triple to right field, a ball that Tom lofted with an easy swing and just carried and carried, over Boo Resnick’s head and to the fence. David Pittard drove in Tom with a pop-fly single to right. Jim Foelker popped out to second and Daniel Baladez grounded into a 6-4 force. Scott Wright followed with a single. Jim McAnelly then drove a pitch to right-center past the outfielders, scoring the two runners on base – it was a single only because Jim took a runner from home. Steve Sandall followed with a controversial infield single: he kind of chopped down on a chest-high pitch, grounding it slowly to shortstop, no play to be had on it. Orange players thought the chop-swing illegal, which, truthfully, I was not aware was a thing. Home plate umpire Terry Watts knew of this rule, but he thought (as did I) that Steve swung through the pitch, with a full backswing on his follow-through, and declined to call him out. It wound up not making no never-mind: Jimmy Sneed came up and drove a pitch to left field, but Peter Atkins, moving back and to his right, made a good catch of the deep drive for the third out.
Orange came up in the bottom half trailing by five, and didn’t get any back. Peter Atkins and Terry Thompson singled with one out, but David Pittard got Boo Resnick to foul off a two-strike pitch, and Larry Shupe to ground into an inning-ending 6-4 force, Jimmy Sneed to Tom Brownfield.
On to the buffet, Blue still up by five, with the heart of its lineup due. They weren’t able to add to their lead, however. Tom Bellavia led off with a deep fly, but Peter Atkins, moving to his left, ran it down. George Brindley lined a double to right field, his second in as many at bats. But he never advanced. Tom Brownfield popped out to second baseman Terry O’Brien. David Pittard took three pitches, all balls, but at his teammates’ instruction declined the walk. He swung at Ray Pilgrim’s next pitch, and popped it up to the right side, gathered in by Terry O’Brien for the third out.
Orange came up chasing five to tie, six to win top of its lineup due. Clint Fletcher lined a single to right-center, his fourth hit of the game. Daniel Carvajal popped a ball to right-center; George Brindley had a long way to go, raced for it, but could not reach it; it fell in front of him. David Brown lined a singled to right field, driving in Clint, Daniel aggressively taking third, David advancing on the throw in. Ray Pilgrim hit a sharp grounder to second baseman Tom Brownfield, who fielded it cleanly and threw to first for the out, Daniel and David holding.
Terry O’Brien came up and delivered his fourth of the game, a line-drive single to right that scored both Daniel and David. Ken Mockler lined a single to left, putting the tying run on base. Peter Atkins ripped a double to center field, Terry scoring, Ken moving to third, Blue’s lead down to just one run. Terry Thompson stepped up and lined a single to right field: Ken trotted home with the tying run and Peter Atkins, ignoring his bruised hammy, raced home from second with the championship-winning run, Orange walking off a dramatic 19-18 victory to cap the 2025 season.

Keggy’s Korner:
Here’s an alternative version of Daniel Carvajal hitting a sacrifice fly as depicted on a medieval Japanese scroll:
Not sure which version is better; I do appreciate the AIs including Daniel’s distinctive knee pads, while totally losing track of what he actually looks like.
Last Plug of the Season: 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. I hope to make it and see you there!
