Unbeaten Sandpiper wins first three games to lead pack

Sandpiper remained unbeaten after two weeks of play and leads the

Tuesday/Thursday League standings of the city of Laguna

Beach-sponsored Summer Slow Pitch Softball League.

Sandpiper ran its record to 3-0 by blanking Good, Bad and Ugly,

5-1, and Team Viagra, 8-4, in the second week of the season.

Dave Sommerville led Sandpiper offensively with a three-run home

run in the top of the seventh inning in the win over Good, Bad and

Ugly, then blasted three more home runs, which accounted for five

runs, overall, in the win over Team Viagra.

Steve Lafferty doubled and hit a solo home run and also hit a pair

of home runs in the two victories.

Team Viagra actually led Sandpiper, 3-0, behind consecutive home

runs by Keith Mulvaney, John Verdugo Jr and Ryan Sauers in the first

inning.

Sandpiper, however, came right back in the bottom of the frame and

mirrored Team Viagra’s output as Lafferty, Sommerville and Ryan

Neptune each homered.
