ANNA MARIA – After a week off, the men and women of adult soccer took to The Center pitch again for week five action. Three teams ended last week’s action with four wins and C.A.B.B. on top of the leaderboard, with Beach Bums right behind with the same record.
Playing the second game of the night, C.A.B.B. played against #6 Salty Printing, which finished the night with one win and four losses in the season. Struggling to put a full squad on the field, Steve Oelfke, the goalkeeper for Slim’s Place, played back-to-back games, protecting the net for Salty.
In his first game of the night, Oelfke had 10 saves against the Beach Bums shooting roster, despite the loss. Raul Loera got two shots past the opposing team’s goalie. Osvaldo Cabello scored one goal of his own for his team.
At the half, Beach Bums was down by two goals. With five stops in the game, Beach Bums keeper, Tuna McCracken, was supported by a strong defense, allowing the team’s offense to make quick work of the other end of the field.
Team captain Yuri Pereira had one goal in the game along with teammate Emily Fischer. Lucky Durmaz scored two points in the game along with one assist in the team’s win.
With seconds left on the scoreboard clock, Beach Bums tied up the game, making the final seconds all-important.
The Beach Bums team eked out the win during the final seconds of the game, with the official time kept by the field referee.
This week’s play puts C.A.B.B. on the field against Sato Real Estate. Currently, at the bottom of the ranks, the Sato Real Estate team knows that the championship is still within reach. Playoff action starts on Thursday, June 10.
