Sky & Sky Inc vs N.E.K. Entertainment
Game 1
Sky 24 NEK 8 (5 Innings)
Sky & Sky was hot out of the gates using two 2-run jacks from Brian
Kowitz and Joel Wax to jump out in front by 6 in their half of the first.
Another 2-run shot by Aric Spitulnik helped propel Sky & SKy to an early 9-0
lead. However, N.E.K. awoke in the b-2nd and batted around. They closed the gap
to four runs taking advantage of errors, walks and singles. Sky & Sky answered
with three in the t-3rd as Joel Wax doubled home two with the second of three
consecutive doubles in the inning. N.E.K. pushed two across in
the b-3rd, but that would be the extent of their offense. Sky & Sky batted 12
guys in the t-4th to push the game out of reach adding 8 to their total.
The final score was 24-8 in 5 innings with Zach Scherr getting an offensive
explosion to coast to his fourth victory and Bern ??? taking the loss. For Sky &

A 2-run shot by Brian Kowitz and a solo shot by Brian "Sky" Mekiliesky were the
big hits in the inning. N.E.K. Entertainment took advantage of an error in the
t-2nd to get one run back. Sky returned the favor as Scott Felton knocked in
Steve Truitt with a SF. N.E.K. added solo runs in the 4th & 5th innings to close
the gap to 6-3. Sky & Sky bats came to life in the b-5th as the first 5 batters

and a third run scored on the play via a stupid throw by the catcher. In the
b-6th each of the first 6 batters reached

Eastern Savings Bank vs Mount Washington Tavern
Game 1
ESB 16 MWT 1 (4 Innings)
Game 1 was quick and uneventful. ESB outplayed the Tavern with timely
hitting and mistake free fielding. The tavern's bats decided not to get out of
bed for the first game producing just 1run.
Ted Winner pitched a kill-shortened 4-inning
4-hitter, and Eastern Savings Bank displayed flawless defense and a balanced,
relentless hitting attack, as ESB beat Mt. Washington Tavern 16-1 in 5 innings.
Ted's control was impeccable, walking none and striking out one, while
surrendering only 2 hits from the second inning on. ESB's hitting attack,
featuring 7 different players with 2 hits,( including a monster HR to right by
Glen Broder), plated 2 runs in the first, 7 in the second, 4 in the 3rd, and a
clinching 3 runs in the nail-biting bottom of the 4th.
Game 2
ESB 18 MWT10
Game 2 was much more exciting, the Tavern put together two great rallies
in the game only to be answered each time by ESB. The Tavern closed to within 2
runs after the fifth inning 12-10, but ESB rallied and sealed the victory with 3
runs in the 6th and 7th. ESB played a solid defense all day led by 3rd basemen
Aaron Shifrin who was a solid vacuum all day and 3 Tavern runners were gunned
down at the plate. Jon Goldman played a great shortstop for the Tavern knocking
down everything that came his way and Jason Ott scored one of his runs from an
outstretched head first slide at home. He curved around the catcher in the air
and was safe at home.
Hitting Highlights for the Tavern:
Jon Lamb 3-5 12b 1run 1bb
Howard Goldberg 2-5 1bb 13b 1rbi 1run
Scott Landsman 2-4 12b 1run 3rbi
Jason Ott 4-6 2run 12b 3rbi
Game 2 gave the fans more of what they paid
for today -- a more competitive display of major-league-brand softball. MWT
actually held a short-lived 1-0 lead after the first inning, only to see ESB
score 3 in the top of the second. MWT ko'd spot-starter Kory Rosenberg after
walking the bases full in the bottom of the second, tying the score at 3-3 with
a 2-run rally , only to see ESB take the lead for good with a 4-run top of the
third. MWT eventually made it exciting, drawing to within 12-10 in the bottom of
the 5th with a 5-run rally that featured several two-out, seeing eye base hits.
However, ESB asserted itself with a pair of 3-run rallies in the 6th and seventh
innings, sealing the final score of 18-10. Ted Winner got the victory after
relieving in the second, and other than the teeny weeny 5-run rally on the 5th,
allowed only two other single runs. Once again, ESB's balanced attack featured
seven players wit 2 or 3 hits each, including the 2nd HR of the day by by Glen
Broder, this time to left field. MWT consistently tested ESB's arms with overly
agressive base running, only to see 3 runners gunned down at the plate, and one
at third (first game). ESB again played consistent defense , including several
nearly-clean catches of infield throws at first base by "Tzi-Tzi" Schmell,
sporting a still-being-broken-in glove.

Havana Club Cannons vs Kelly & Associates
Game 1
HC Cannons 13 K&A 7
The Havana Club Cannons continued their winning ways by sweeping a pair
from Orbin Publishing on Fathers Day 2002. Game one Tom Paulshock was the
winning pitcher in a seven inning 18-7 affair. Johnny Edelman, Steve Henneman
and Evan Kreitzer all had three hits, while Jeff Robbins had four safeties.
Johnny Edelman scored four times while Kreitzer and Robbins scored three
times each. But the man was Mr. Kreitzer. He clocked two long three run homeruns
while knocking in seven. It was a six to four score in favor of the Cannons as
the fourth inning started. From there the fathers, Paulshock and G Edelman set
the table for a bat around seven run eruption.
Game 2
HC Cannons 10 K&A 1
Game two found Mark Yokel going the full seven innings and yielding only
a single unearned run. The Havana Club team cruised to a 10-1 victory. Neal
Charkatz hit a homerun to knot the game at 1-1 in the second. Jeff Robbins and
Brad Rosenberg knocked in runs in the third to make it 3-1. In the fifth, Steve
Henneman, Jim Petersen, Neal Charkatz and Joe Mondel all knocked in runs to make
it 8-1, enroute to the final tally. The Cannons were glad to welcome back Danny
Kassel to the line-up, and defensively they showed championship form.
