Simsbury Taverneers: 6 - Hartford Senators: 10

On a scorchingly hot Sunday afternoon the Simsbury Taverneers battled the Hartford Taverneers in Simsbury.  After the bottom of the 7th, the Taverneers were winning by one run but the Senators forced their way forward with some well placed hits that found their mark; scoring 5 runs in the 8th and 9th to close out the Taverneers.

The Taverneers played their best game yet with some spectacular endurance pitching by Hank "The Hammer" Newman and relentless catching by Duncan "The Judge" MacKay.  The whole team played hard with steadily improving teamwork and knowledge of the game of vintage base ball.  As an example, Rob "Mell" Melanson and Hank "The Hammer" Newman fooled a Senator base runner with the old "hidden ball trick".  Also of note were two home steals by The Judge and a new team member, Brian Logan who slid head first!
