Field 2:
Umpire- Mark Radom
Game 1: Bombers 16 (WP-Tzvi Friedman 8-3) Outlaws 0
(LP-Larry Newman 0-6)
(4 Innings)
The Nationwide Insurance Bombers pushed their winning streak to 6 games by pounding the Outlaws 16-0 (4 innings) and 23-4 (5 innings). Tzvi Friedman won both games and Gershon Y relieved in both games. Game 1 highlights- The Bombers sent 10 men to the plate in the 1st and 3rd innings. Tzvi Friedman hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 4th off Nemo in the bottom of the 4th to end the game.
Game 2: Bombers 22 (WP-Tzvi Friedman 9-3) Outlaws 4 (LP-Larry Newman 0-7) (5 Innings)
In game 2, the Outlaws actually led
2-0 in the 1st. Mark Loeb had 4 doubles (a Bombers record). In a scary moment,
Ben Gutman lined a ball off Nemo’s knee and it caromed over the Bombers fence by
3rd base. It was correctly ruled a ground rule double. It was the first time Ben
Gutman hit a ball over the fence after 10 years and over 300 games played in the
Pikesville Softball League. Nemo came out of the game but went back in an inning
later. He definitely deserves the courage award for the day. Even though his
team was getting beat pretty badly, he never quits. The Bombers are now 1 game
behind the Kings, a team they swept the week before.

Ben Gutman- 6-7
Gershon Y- 4-7
Jason Gardner- 4-6, 6 RBI’s

Game 1: Kings 6 (WP-Mike Herr 9-1) Sky & Sky Inc. 3 (LP-Jeff Harris 10-1)
In a re-match of the 2013 PMSL Finals, the Kings and Sky & Sky Inc. met to battle for first place. The Kings took the opener 6-3 in a ballgame that lasted just about 1 hour. The quick pace was thanks to errorless fielding and pitching by Kings Mike Herr and Sky Jeff Harris that allowed just 1 walk each.
In b-1st, with 1 out Kenny Salzman and 1 out later Arin Gelletly hit an RBI single. In t-3rd, Brian Sky drew a leadoff walk, Shaun Poulton doubled, and Mark Lester hit a SF to left field to tie game 1-1. In t-4th, Elliott Blank singled with 1 out and Pat Wilcox launched a deep 2 RBI HR over the fence in RCF giving Sky 3-1 lead.
The score remained 3-1 into b-5th. Glenn Savage and Steve Levy hit 1 out singles. Following a fielder's choice groundout for the 2nd out, Mike Herr hit an RBI 2B to cut lead in half. Following a walk to EH Chuck Grant, Koby Sarubin hit an RBI 1B to knock in the tie run 3-3.
Sky threatened to again take lead in t-6th with singles by Matt Holley and Blank to put runners on the corners with 1 out. The Kings were able to get out of the inning without allowing a run on an infield popout and flyout. In b-6th 4 consecutive singles to start the inning by Shilo Merwitz, Gelletly, Michael Kleeman, and Troy Hendricks (2 RBI) put Kings ahead 5-3. 2 more singles by Steve Levy and Brad Millison (RBI) made the Kings lead 6-3.
In t-7th, 1 out singles by Brian Sky and Poulton brought the tie run to the plate. Herr was able to get out of the inning on a groundout to third base and lineout to second base, preserving a 6-3 win for the Kings.
