Arlington Grill 16 - J&N 13

Arlington Grill defeated J&N 16-13 to lock up the regular season championship. Hitting stars: Chris Thomas with 4 hits, Mark Joao and Angelo Sblendorio with 3 hits. Angelo was also the winning pitcher.

In the last game of the Wednesday Season, (11-4) Arlington Grill defeated (5-10) J&N by the score of 16-13, at Sports Park Jr. Arlington took the lead in the third inning and never loosened its grip. Pitcher Joe DiChiara tried his best to keep the powerful Arlington hitters in the ballpark and J&N kept battling back by playing small ball. If J&N had played a cleaner game, we actually could have won. Unfortunately, J&N gave The Grill too many 4 and 6 out innings. And some dope, who loves to run and has several designer sliding gloves, ran thru his third base coach’s “stop” sign and was tagged out at home with his team down by 3 runs. Dufus! J&N hitting stats: George Hammer 1/4, rbi, Jaime Pagan 1/4, double, Paul Morales 1/3, double, run, Von Ahouse 1/3, double, run, Mark Battastoni 2/3, run, rbi, Joe DiChiara 2/3, double, run, Stan Silverman 2/3, 2 runs, rbi, Tony Scaduto 1/3, run, Jeff Noe 3/3, 2 doubles, 2 runs, 2 rbi, Steve Savod 2/3, double, 2 runs, 3 rbi, Rick Brettholz 2/3, run, 2 rbi, Mike Spinelli Jr. 2/3, double, rbi, Bill Volpe 3/3, double, triple, run, rbi, Dick Michel 1/3, run, rbi.
