Seaway:

Seaway defense let us down. we were led by our restricted pick-up   Kurt Souva who had 2 OTF HR’s and a Double and played a great outfield also. Kyle Green was 2-4, James Beard a.k.a. Tiger Bomb was 2-2 with a walk. Ed Herman was 3-3. Sherman Thomas was 2-3. Jeff Baker was 2-3. Tom Easler earned a (CASE) lol.

Sidelines 16 – R&J Fence 10

Sidelines: 

 Sidelines fell behind R&J 5-3 after 1 but pulled away after that and scored a hard earned 16-10 win over the league leaders. After missing 4 games Jerry Edmondson (2-3) came back and pitched a strong game as R&J would only score in 3 innings. Sidelines played short handed again, which has been every game but 1 with players playing out of position. Sidelines pounded out 27 hits and leading the way were Bob Miller (4-4) Woody Woodrow (4-4) Dave Kunst (3-4) Johnny Johnson (3-4 2b) Dave Ashman (3-4). A nice win over a very strong R&J team. 

R&J Fence Company:

Sidelines was able to shut down the bats by crafty lefty Jerry Edmundson coming back to action from an injury. R&J was only to score in 3 innings and stranding runners in multiple innings. ITs time for the bats to heat up with the heat next week. Thank you to Terry Patterson for helping out as a sub. Virgil Correa played an excellent RF tonight making some good plats out there. Dave Obert 2/4, Virgil Correa 2/4, Ted Theaker 2/3, Jim Rizzo 2/3 Patrick Henry 2/3, Randy Bores 2/3, Mike Gory 2/3, Russ Korb 2/3 and Sid Siddall with a long triple. Let’s get 2 next week !

Rudy’s Hot Dog 26 – Bull Moose 7

Rudy’s Hot Dogs :

Rudy’s had the trifecta going on last night with hitting fielding and running against a very tough Bull Moose team. Rudy’s scored five runs in four the seven innings. Smacking out 36 hits. The whole team had at least two hits. Rudy’s welcomed back to the team Charlie Oberlin, who had five hits. Got hit in the shin with a line drive got hit in the shoulder with a bad throw got hit in the back where one came in out of the sun and he could not see the ball and also two base hits. Hitting leaders where Dave Ronau Kurt Souba Phil Richard Richards, John Arrington the whole team played extraordinary well against a very good team. Another highlight was the cheering section in the bleachers consisting of 10 little girls chanting go Rudy’s go

Bull Moose:

The wheels fell off quickly in this game as Rudy’s piled it on early and often and we had no answer. Gary Gardner and Ed Calderon were perfect at the plate for both games tonight with Calderon ripping 3 doubles in this one as Wayne Stumm, Wayne Harris, Joe Pastorek and Brett Crosby all had 2 hits each and Mark Clair added 2 RBI.

RWB:

Both teams struggled defensively thanks to the sun blazing into the eyes on the left side of the field last night . But the RWB team made the most out of it gaining a 24 to 18 victory over the good hitting Barrows team . We ended up play with 10 players after Jeff Kwiatkowski down with an injury in the first inning . We were able to make the plays to seal the victory fortunately. Hitting leaders were Fred Freeman 4/4 BB 5 runs and playing good defense at different positions  last night , Mike LaPoint 4/5  3 runs 2b , Jeff Aiello 4/4 2 3B   3 runs Terry Moore 4/4 , with 3 hits each were Larry Wilczynski , Dave Turshon also playing  different positions well , Tim Kuszmaul , with 2 hits 808 and pitching well , Jim Dandar Randy Robinson on base twice .

Barrow’s:

Barrows put a lot of good hits together tonight.
