The Circle Tap team had yet another up and down weekend enroute to a 2-2
mark(14-13 overall). The weather turned out to be very nice all weekend
with the exception of a few sprinkles on Saturday which did not interrupt
any of the play. Sunday was in the low 90's.

#13Circle Tap 1 #28Dolan & Murphy 2(Aurora, IL) 9innings
CT 1 7 1
DM 2 4 0
The Tappers let a couple of opportunities slip away in this one and it
cost them the game. Kyle Magnusson led off the 4th with a double and then
D&M pitcher Juan Pottoluccio struck out the next 3 men to leave him
stranded. CT would get on the board in the 5th as Kevin Reichardt led off
with a walk, moved to 2nd on a passed ball and would later score with two
outs on a Darren Derricks double. Magnusson led off the 6th with another
double and again would be stranded. CT pitcher Matt Bramwell took a
no-hitter, one walk, performance into the bottom of the 7th when Andrew
Havercroft led off with a solo shot over the center field fence. CT left
the bases loaded in the 9th. With the tie-breaker in place Dolan 2 hitter
Havercroft was intentionally walked and then Luis Saldana hit on to the
fence in right scoring the run. Magnusson finished 3x4 2-2B

Game 3
7PM Saturday
#13 Circle Tap 1 #3 Orillia Riversharks(Orillia, ON) 0
CT 1 5 0
OR 0 4 0
This game had many playoff implications. If Orillia wins they win pool C
and there would be a three-way 1-2 tie for the 2nd playoff team breaking
down into the tie-breakers. CT wins they get the one seed as both teams
go 2-1 and wins the head to head tie-breaker. Fortunately for CT the
latter of the two happend.
Kyle Magnusson continued to shine as he hit a one out first inning blast
in the right center power alley. CT would dodge a bullet in the 4th a
couple of times. Starting pitcher Mike Roberts took a rocket off the top
of the head on a line drive by Rhys Casley. He would get up and pitch to
the next batter Stacey McLean who hit one to the fence, Casley trying to
score would be tagged out on a 8-6-2-4-2-5-3 put out to end the inning.
Matt Bramwell would come on to pitch in the 5th and record 7 outs in a row
before yielding a walk to Casley, McLean then hit into a fielder's choice,
Sean O'Brien picked up a two out hit, but Bramwell got Derrick Zeckman to
fly out and end the game. Don Garvey 2x3, Reichardt 3B

Hopefully all had fun at this year's Boys of Summer Open. It was a heck
of a lot of fun to see all the work put forth by everyone involved come
together and hear all of the wonderful comments about the field of teams
and facility. If you have any comments on the tourney I'd love to hear
from you, a full wrap and credits will be put together in the next couple
days. Next action for CT will be in Fargo, ND for the Holm Classic
July 15-16
