Field 1:
Umpire- Reggie Grant
Game 1: LOFT 12 (WP-Kenny Kreyling 3-1)
Sharks 6 (LP-Bob Mallonee 1-4)
LOFT started the game with just 9 players thanks to a
member of the team that valued beauty sleep over his team. Fortunately an
emergency on-call was able to show up in the 4th inning to fill in. The LOFT
bats started out well with a walk and 4 consecutive hits to start the game as
and RBI single by Pitcher Kenny Kreyling scored lead-off hitter Logan Malane, a Nick Serkes bloop single scored Dana
Anderson, and a Brad Verbosky double scored Kreyling. After that the LOFT bats
went ice cold as they recorded 12 straight outs, allowing the Sharks to tie the
game at 3-3 in the 4th. The bats finally got going again in the 5th with a Mark
Winkel lead-off single, a Mike Schaffer single, and a Malane single to load the
bases. Kreyling came to the plate and bamboozled a bases-clearing triple to the
fence and scored on another Serkes RBI single. The Sharks scored 3 in the top of
the 6th to cut the LOFT lead to 7-6, but LOFT put the game away in the bottom of
the 6th with 5 more runs. LOFT started the inning with a strike out looking to
former LOFT flame thrower Bob Mallonee, but the next 8 batters all reached base
highlighted by another bases-loaded 3 RBI hit for Kreyling as he accumulated 7
RBI in the game to help his cause as LOFT beat the Sharks 12-6 in game 1.

single, a Kreyling RBI double, a Serkes single, Verbosky RBI single, and a
Jonathan Stacey RBI single for a 5 run first inning. In the 3rd inning, Kreyling
reached on an E6, a Stacey double put runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs, and
Mike Randall hit a big 2 RBI single to put LOFT ahead 7-0. Schaffer hit a 1 out
single in the 4th to get things going that ended with RBI singles from Kreyling
and Serkes to add a couple more to the rout. The 5th inning began with Pitcher
Stacey hitting a double and hustled to 3rd on a fielding error which allowed
Randall to hit a sac-fly to bring him in for a 10-0 LOFT lead. LOFT struck again
in the 6th as Malane hit a single, Anderson with a double, and Kreyling with a
2-RBI double who later scored on Serkes' 5th RBI single of the day. Stacey had a
brilliant shut-out going for 5 innings, but gave up a couple in the bottom of
the 6th to prevent the mercy rule from going into effect. LOFT kept it going in
the 7th as Winkel hit an infield single, Malane hit his 2nd triple of the game,
Anderson hit a triple of his own, and Kreyling hit an RBI single for his 12th

Game 1: Nationwide Bombers 11 (WP-Tzvi Friedman 5-0)

In a battle between the top two teams in the league, the
Nationwide Bombers swept Northwest Corridor. Marc Loeb opened the scoring with
an RBI single, plating sub Yoyo Strauss in the top of the first. But NWC came
right back and captured the lead in the bottom half of the inning. Fast forward
to the bottom of the fifth, in a tied 4-4 game, NWC took a three run lead on a
bases-clearing double by their cleanup hitter. After another run in the bottom
of the 6th, the Bombers found themselves trailing 8-4. Down four with two outs
in the top of the seventh, the Bombers perfect season was in jeopardy. But
that's when their bats came to life. After Dan Gutman walked, Shaad Johnson
singled, Uri Rabinowitz hit an RBI single, and Jason Gardner blooped a two-run
single to cut the lead to 8-7. Then a single by Gershon Yakobovitch and a walk
by Strauss loaded the bases for Ben Gutman. Gutman ripped a pitch to
right-center field to give the Bombers a 9-8 lead. Next, David Flamm hit a
triple off the top of the left field fence , plating two more runs. P Tzvi
Friedman closed the door in the bottom of the seventh, giving the Bombers an
11-8 win.
Game 2: Nationwide Bombers 5 (WP-Tzvi Friedman 6-0) Northwest Corridor 2 (LP- Ted Winner 3-1 )
Game 2 didn't have as much excitement. NWC scored two runs in the top of the first but didn't score the rest of the game. The Bombers responded in the bottom of the first, facing former teammate, P Ted Winner. Gershon worked a leadoff walk. After an out, Ben and Flamm each had infield singles that ricocheted off Teddy's glove, loading the bases for Loeb. Loeb scorched a single to center field, plating Gershon. After a second out, the power-hitting Friedman hit an opposite-field RBI single, and fill-in Manager, Chaim Finkelstein, singled to right-center, scoring two more which gave the Bombers a 4-2 lead. The Bombers added another run in the fourth, which was more than enough, after Tzvi quieted the big NWC bats for his league-leading 6th victory.
