Zug Island Lugnuts Schedule

The Zug Island Lugnuts managed to score two runs in the opening inning of the first game of their double-header against the Tigers but it was downhill from their as they fell 17-8. It didn't help that they only had eight players and had to borrow one. In lieu of any regular catcher, Manager Stan Gotinsky volunteered -- and had to work later in the day.

Mark Switalski each singled in a run in the first inning and a bases-loaded walk to Tom Tavolacci plated the other, then Dennis MacDonald singled in a run in the 'Nuts fourth.

Although their ninth player showed up for the second game of their double-header, it didn't make much difference as the Zug Island Lugnuts lost 21-4 against the Tigers in, for them, a rare seven-inning game after the five-inning first game 17-3 loss.

The Tigers got numerous infield hits and a couple bombs thrown in.

Bill Burke singled home a Lugnuts run in the opening inning and they scored three times in the sixth, with Larry Paladino singling a run home with the bases loaded, Wally Frontera getting one home on a fielder's choice, and the other scoring on a throwing error.
