Pat's Liquor ends weekend with two wins
By Misty Volaski

It's summertime in Ojai - and with it comes lots and lots of softball games at Sarzotti Park. The Ojai Valley Men's Softball Association accounts for a large portion of those games.
The following are the results of the OVMSA games for last week:

Team Transit, 9, Outlaws, 5
Gary Jones led the Outlaws with a two-for-four performance, giving the Outlaws two singles on the day. Transit standout Dan Allen tore up the field, with two RBIs, two singles and a perfect three for three at the plate.

Silver Bullets, 18, Diamond Dogs, 6
Though the Dogs scored three times as many runs as the Bullets, the Dogs protestedthe game, alleging that the Silver Bullets had illegal players on their bench.

Pat's Liquor, 9, Ojai Sports, 3
Doug Colborn's three for three came in handy big-time against the normally-strong Ojai Sports. Rick Vogel's two for two at the plate was no match for Pat's Liquor, which nearly doubled its score in the sixth with four runs in that inning.

Silver Bullets, 11, Valley Builders, 5
After receiving a beating by the Diamond Dogs, the Silver Bullets rallied back again for a convincing win later in the day, keeping the Valley Builders scoreless for the whole game, except in the fourth, when the Builders drove in all of their five runs in that inning.

Diamond Dogs, 0, Valley Builders, 15
The mercy rule was called in this game, where, after four innings, the Builders had amassed 15 runs to the Dogs' 0.

Ojai Sports, 12, T.A.C.T., 7
Sportster Bob Lang commanded the field, going four for four with a double. Jason Stitler countered with two doubles for T.A.C.T., which came close in the third with seven runs to Ojai Sports's nine. However, Ojai Sports pulled ahead, scoring one run in the fifth, one in the sixth and one in the seventh inning.

Pat's Liquor, 17, T.A.C.T., 6
Though they were blown out of the water by Pat's, T.A.C.T made a commendable effort in the seventh, when the team came together to double their score to six runs.

OST, 19, Head Trip, 1
OST allowed just one run against them in the second inning before driving in 12 players in the fifth to end the game in the mercy rule.

Head Trip, 8, Joe's Quick Stop, 7
Head Trip fought hard against Joe's, who were in the lead in the fifth and sixth innings. However, the Trippers scored three in the seventh to pull one run ahead for the win.

OST, 11, Joe's Quick Stop, 3
OST pulled itself out of a three-inning tie in the fourth inning with four runs. Though Joe's drove home three players in the seventh, it wasn't enough to top OST, who nabbed 11 runs to Joes'three.
