A&R 16 - Miller's 15

Michael's 32 - J&N 19

Michael's broke open a close game by scoring 13 runs in the top of the eight to beat an undermanned J&N squad 32 to 19. Stats for Michael's: Jack Baxter 6-6 (5rs5rbi), Ralph Bondi 5-6 (4rs), Ben Anker 5-6(5rs3rbi), Eddie Smilkstein 5-5(4rs9rbi), Gerard Hough 5-5 (4rs3rbi), Mike Muffs 5-6(3rbi), Stan Smilkstein 5-6 (3rs3rbi), Mike Lynch 4-6(3rs), Angelo Degregorio 4-5, Joe DeMaria 3-5, Bobby Joy (Winning Pitcher).

It was 9-9 after 3, and 16-13 after 7, and then stuff started rolling down the hill. J&N was shorthanded, and the injuries are starting to take effect like running out of duct tape at a leper colony. Jaime Pagan continued his hitting streak and ended up 3/5, George Hammer 4/6, Mark Battastoni 5/6 with 2 RBIs, Steve Savod 3/5 with an RBI, Von Ahouse 4/6 with an RBI, Stan Silverman 3/6 with an RBI ( and his second outfield catch in 2 games, which was celebrated by a standing ovation by both teams, 2 joggers, a dog-walker and a labradoodle, a memory that he will always treasure). Billy Volpe 4/4 with a walk and an RBI, and Joe DiChiara 4/5 with 3 RBI’s.  Maybe next time.
