Jimmies
The St. James Jimmies continued their winning ways last Tuesday as they knocked off Winding River twice: 20 to 16 and 17 to 14. The two wins improve the Jimmies’ record to 6 wins against 2 losses. They are currently tied with Coastal Tire for second place in the league standings. Jimmies’ leading hitter, Jay Cole, hit for the cycle in game 1, driving in 6 runs. Cole improved his
season batting average to a sizzling .947. Lou Bruenig, Kevin Lynch and John Salerno added 3 hits each. In the second game, Tom Boggs, Steve Grigorio and Lynch led the offensive attack with 3 hits apiece. Pitcher Roger Albizu picked up the wins in both games with 6 and 1/3 innings of solid relief work.
Next up for the Jimmies will be Team USA, who trail the Jimmies in the league standings with a 4 and 4 record. The games will be played at Shallotte Park beginning at 9 am.

Gators Softball
The St. James Gators are seeking players for the 2022 season of the Brunswick County Men’s Softball League. This league is for men 50+ and is competitive (for old guys). The team plays on Tuesday morning double headers against 7 other teams from Brunswick County in the Spring and Fall. It’s a great way to get out and run a little and hit a little like you did back in the day. The games are competitive (for our age) and offer a good workout!
We will begin practices sometime soon and will start games in the Spring. If you are looking forward to fun and games in the spring and fall with a great group of guys, get in touch with coach John Neal or myself.

Report for week ending April 15
Tuesday, April 12
Nice, brisk day for sailing; temperature in the low 70’s with SW winds of 12-15k, gusting to perhaps 20k. High moving clouds bringing changes in gusts and direction with their shadows. As the day progressed, winds picked up with some boats burying their bows & changing leads. Dick Denzler lead with three wins and one 2nd. Ken Bates had one win and two 2nds. Mark Hamer and
Terry McCormick each had one win. Ron Hawkins, Bill Miller and Ray Cook each had one 2nd each. In the DF95 races, Dick Denzler had three wins and one 2nd, pointing out Charlie Sweeney who had three wins. Ken Bates had four 2nds and Steve Stopa had one 2nd.
Thursday, April 14
The Tax Day Regatta Brought out seven Nirvana skippers and six Dragon boats. One of the few times we have had nearly the same number of entries. RO Steve Stopa laid out a course starting in the east, and taking a more serpentine route. Strong SW winds mostly affected the Yellow and Green markers as they sat in the wind ‘shadows’ of the homes. Out of those shadows, ‘respect’ of those on starboard tacks was occasionally ignored. While many races were competitive, in the last DF95 race, Ron Hawkins led throughout the course, but was caught up & edged out by Dick in the last 30 yards.
Nirvanas: 1st Place: Dick Denzler, 2nd Place: Ken Bates, 3rd Place: Ray Cook
Dragons: 1st Place; Dick Denzler, 2nd Place: Ken Bates, 3rd Place: Steve Stopa
