B and E Tires

The first month of the season has finished (and at least one team is happy it is). Fox's Pizza Den, managed by Mike Fleetwood and Frank Sica, are on top of the standings with a 6 and 2 record. LBG Homes (Don Hillock/Ron James) and The Starboard (Eddie Sternberg/Vince Daley) are only a half game behind. Seven teams are in the middle of the pack, with two teams close behind and just out of the basement. American Legion, which finally won its first (and only) game last week, is mired in the cellar. It took 8 innings for American Legion to squeak out a 1-run win.

With more than 20 games for each team still to play, a lot can change in the next several months.

Mike Ohr has notified us of the following: 

3rd Wave Brewing Company, one of the sponsors of our Wine and Beer Tasting event last February, is sponsoring a 5K Run/Walk on May 30th. Proceeds will benefit Coastal Hospice and Palliative Care and the Delmar High School Volleyball Team.

The registration fee is only $20 in advance, and there will be post-race refreshments at the brewery.

Here's a chance to show our appreciation for 3rd Wave's support of OTS. Participate yourself, or let your running friends know. If you're not a runner, most people can walk a 5K in under an hour. Details are in the handout below.

The 18th season for OTS began May 5th. Gary Hayden led a brief opening ceremony held underneath the new flag pole outside center field of Field #2. 

Diamond Blade Tileworks had an impressive 21 - 11 win over American Legion. Robinson's Furniture and Edward Jones Investments both had 6-run victories over Fox's Pizza Den (16 - 10) and Ocean View Family Restaurant (9 - 3) respectively. The other 3 games were close, with The Starboard over Atlantic Orthopaedics 6 - 4, LBG Homes over Dynamic Physical Therapy 7 - 6 and Colonial East over All Out Sports 7 - 6. B & E Tires had a bye.

The are 13 teams in the league this year with each team having 12 players. That's 156 Olde Tymers having fun Tuesdays and Thursdays playing some softball. 

Regular season play continues through the end of August.
