Raps a hard ground ball
right at Palmer...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
FOFC gets the first out of the inning

IT HITS Bresnahan!
Now Bresnahan gets up
and brushes himself off
He's not thrilled with being drilled!
The ump tells Bresnahan to take his base

Wood squares
He bunts at it . . .
Fielded by D.Palmer
the throw to first...
Out
Wood gets the job done.

He rips a grounder
It's into right field
It's a single for Duffy

Duffy takes a walking lead
Duffy has stolen 43 of 56 bases this year

second... close play

Swung on...
It's a bouncing ball past
Collins at third...
Wagner moving to his right...
Makes a great backhanded stop...
He spins in the air
Firing to first from the outfield grass...
Fouts beats the throw easily
That was a great pickup by Wagner
But, he didn't have a chance
And should have hung onto the ball

He's up
Powerful throw to first
OUT!
Beautiful play!
And that will do it for FOFC
There dreams of the post
season end with a thud...
after jumping to an early
3 - 0 lead they can't hang on.

Turn of Century wins 7 to 5
Wood gets credit for the win
Rodney takes the loss
The hitting star for Turn of Century
was Jimmy Collins
He was 1 for 4 with a homerun
And that wraps things up
So long from Turn of Century.
