3. The mercy rule (slaughter rule) will be eliminated. (Section VIII, 8.3-m)

Despite unusually hot September weather, everyone had a great time at this year's picnic.

Trophies were presented to regular season winner Delmarva Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI) and to tournament winner Custom Woodworking.

A special trophy was presented to our Grounds Crew headed by Johnny Allen with crew members Pat Sherry, Johnny Walker,  Carl Pierce, Ed West and Terry Thomas.

Bubba Stack, now 84 years young and still playing softball, received a special award commemorating his many years in the league.

The votes have been counted and league officers were announced for next year. Bo Wood (President) and Keith Purdy (Treasurer) will serve the second year of their term, and Dick Mullins (Secretary) was re-elected to a new two-year term. Harry Gowl was elected to a two-year term as Vice President.

A special Thank You was extended to our outgoing Vice President, Tommy Farrah. During his years of service, in addition to his role on the Executive Committee, Tommy was responsible for the scheduling of games and umpires. Tommy was the key factor in getting wells and water lines for the fields. He also was the chairman of a special committee to update and document OTS rules, regulations and by-laws.

And finally, congratulations to Bob for winning the 50-50.
