Kings vs GorgeousWatches.com
Game 1
Kings 15 GW 3
Lacking owner/manager Mike Herr's guidance for the first time in 7 years,
the Kings managed to split a doubleheader with the LArry Henderson/Andrew
Rosenstein led Gorgeous Watches. The Kings' interim manager, Alan Varhaftik,
tried the unorthodox strategy of having no batting practice before game 1, and
was rewarded with a 10 run first inning highlighted by two hits apiece from
Kenny Salzman and Kenny Zalis. Eight Kings' hitters contributed singles to the
10 hit inning. The Kings coasted from there to a 14-3 victory, the last run
scoring on a moster Shilo Merwitz home run. Merwitz played an excellent game at
shortstop, backing the solid pitching of Chuck Grant (5-2) who gave up but one
earned run. Sonny Cherlstein was the losing pitcher.
Game 2
GW 13 Kings 3
Game 2 saw the Gorgeous Watches explode for a 7 run fourth inning on
their way to an easy 13-3 triumph. Winning pitcher was Jeff Harris. Loser was
Jeff Goldstein (3-4). Harris was reached for multiple hits only by Grant and
Todd Katz. The only Kings' highlight was Chuck Grant lobbying for a rule change
after he karate chopped the ball out of catcher Henderson's glove at the plate
in the 5th inning but was ruled out anyway. Despite Grant's plea that the ball
was live since Henderson' s knee was not down, it was ruled that since he had
not pancaked Henderson on the play, the out ruling was correct.
Alan Varhaftik on Sunday became only the 3rd manager in the Kings 14 year history. He is the only manager to win his first game. Steve Levy was the last person to handle the managerial duties for Mike Herr on May 7, 1995 vs Burt (doubleheader sweep). Lifetime Kings managerial records Herr 270-154, Levy 6-5, Varhaftik 1-1.

to take a commanding lead. In the top of the seventh, MWT scored two more runs,
but fell short giving NEK its first victory since week 1. This win was a total
team victory.
N.E.K and their speedy baserunning were
handed a victory by the mistakes of the Tavern today. N.E.K's aggressive
baserunning and 8 run rally in the bottom of the sixth shocked the Tavern and
sealed the victory.

hungry for another victory Brian Jackson smashed a 3 run homerun to give NEK a
6-3 lead that they would hold onto. Now with a taste of victory NEK is hungry
for more. Pretty good defense was played by both teams.

ESB 14 K&A 7
ESB jumped out to an early 2 run
lead in the top of the 1st and scored 1 more in the second, to bring the score
to 6 -3 in favor of kelly and assoc. But superior defense and incredible
pitching by David Finkelstien shut them down by allowing only 1 run after the
2nd inning. With that defense ESB slowly chipped away and tied it up at 7-7
after the 6th. In the top of the 7th ESB exploded for 7 runs to finish off
kelly and assoc in game 1 with a final of 14 -7.
Game 2
ESB 10 K&A 9
This was a see saw battle with the
lead changing hand a number of times throughout the game. Being up by 5 in the
top of the 7th, ESB gave up a grand salami to let kelly and assoc regain the
lead by 2. But ESB still had the hammer in the bottom of the 7th. A 1 out
bases loaded single brought ESB with in 1. Then again with the bases loaded and
2 outs Johnny Feldman came thru with a clutch 2 out , 2 rbi single to give ESB

Palmgard vs Turtles
Game 1
Palmgard 6 Turtles 3
In Game one, the Turtles remained in their shell and scratched out only
three runs dropping into a 1st place tie losing to Marty and
Palmgard 6-3. Moving to the larger Deer Park Field, the Turtles bat were
silenced as many line drives found Palmgard gloves as they dropped to 11-2.
Game 2
Turtles 20 Palmgard 8
In Game two, the Turtles came out snapping scoring a team inning high 9
times enroute to an easy 20-8 victory regaining 1st place pending the results
from the Gorgeous Watches game. The game was held up in the 2nd inning as
Baltimore Counties worst (Officer Walls) arrived to issue parking tickets to
those in the fire lane. Without ample warning, players from both teams scurried
to their vehicles to move them. Detour Dave, however, was last to get to his
car, as he had to come in from right field. Walls would not yield, as the ticket
continued to be written, Dave moved his car, but was ordered back to the illegal
spot to collect the citation. An argument ensued, but to no avail, the ticket
was issued despite to protest of players from both teams. Sandler's migrane
headache just got worse as he continued to struggle at the plate and allowed Lee
Eidelberg to assume his spot in right-field. Back to the game, where both Ricky
Farley and Scott Moffet went deep, as everyone, including Detour had an rbi,
winning for the 12th time in 14 games.
