The WhizKids defeated the Americans 16-3 to kick off the 55+ season. The Whiz scored 9 runs in the 3rd after 2 outs and no runners aboard. Jim Porter, John Healey, and Anthony Torre each drove in 2 runs during the inning. Billy Smith, who made several defensive gems at 3rd, gave the Whiz a 1-0 lead with a 1st inning single to knock in Don Dennis, who led off the game with a double. Nick Kanellis tied it in the bottom of the 2nd with a Kingman-like homerun. The Whiz promptly gave Jim Konstantakis all the runs he would need in the 3rd. Chris Abrams and Ed Klopfer finished up for the Whiz, who take on the Cougars Monday night. Jim Porter-Manager-WhizKids
