The Coors Light Chuggers scored early and often to open up an 11-3 lead and coasted to a 15-9 win over the Maples Sluggers in adult co-ed softball action last week.

Rob Harris went 4 for 4 with a home run and seven RBI to pace the Chuggers, who raised their record to 4-3 for the season.

Chris Orlandini also homered and Neil Clements had four hits for Coors Light. Pen “Forrest” Reed continued his hot hitting for the Chuggers, going 2 for 2 with a walk. 

Chuggers coach Alan Markoff was most impressed with his team’s defensive efforts.

“After making 11 errors in last week’s game, to only make a couple of errors in this game was quite an improvement,” he said. “If we can just see the ball, hit the ball and catch the ball, we’re going to win a lot of games.”

Home Gas got back on the winning track after their first loss, beating Jose’s Escape 25-20 in a defensive struggle. 

Escapee’s coach Al Lovinggood said he was proud of his team for playing the five-time defending champs tough even though he only had nine players.

“We had a good time,” he said. “The Gassers were actually descent and having fun.”

Lovinggood said the bright spot of the game for Jose’s was a rare 1-3-1 double play.

“The ball was hit to me with one out and a runner on third,” he said. “It was awesome. I was awesome.”
