Senior Olympians Best Tri-State 55+ All Stars
The Delaware Senior Olympics Baseball Team won their single elimination event against an All Star team from the Tri-State 55+ Senior Baseball League 11-6. Short several players, the Olympians borrowed several players from the All Stars to fill out their squad.
The Olympic team took a 4-0 lead in the second on two singles and two doubles and an error. They built the lead to 8-2 before the All Stars closed to 8-5 after five. A pair of runs in the top of the seventh sealed the victory.
Dave Schoettinger continued his torrid hitting over the years in Olympic events by going 3-4 and scoring two runs. Willis Grier made some sparking defensive pays including a double play to end the 6th inning. He also drilled a single in four at bats and scored a run. Garth Dawson also went 1-4 and scored a run when he stole home after a botched pick-off play at third.
