Moby Drugs is back. The team held Granny O’Shea’s Pub to only 6 runs on the way to a 16-7 win. At the plate, Moby scored 16 runs on 27 hits, including a 2 run triple hit in the 7th inning, by Tommy Zarek.

8:20pm - Zwanger Pesiri versus Changing Times Pub - 90ft field

Under stormy skies, Changing Times Pub continued its fine play with a victory over Zwanger Pesiri Radiology. The final score was 26-4. Jack Scherer pitched another fine game and also hit an excellent 60 degree wedge (the envy of Lucas Glover). Jack received offensive support from himself (2 hits), John Ochwat (2 hits), Dave Thorburn (3 hits), John Najdek (3 hits), Anthony Porpora (3 hits), John Hughes (2 hits), Jerry Iavarone (2 hits) and Ed Cullen (4 hits). After 10 games, Changing Times has 5 wins, 4 losses and 1 tie. Congratulations to all the Changing Times players for a well played game.

9:40pm - LaCorte Family Auto versus Barco Construction - 90ft field

Barco Construction continued its fine play earning another victory with a win over LaCorte Family Auto 17-12. The Barco Boys’ offense started out slowly but they were able to keep pace with the LaCorte squad. They were tied at 3 after two and at 6 heading into the bottom of the fourth when Barco’s bats woke up with a vengeance. The team erupted for nine runs to take the lead for good, going up 15-6. Steve Jacobson and Dennis Ryan had two run triples during the outbreak, along with RBI hits from Dave Ringer, Kevin Moloney & Rick Pedone. Dave Saur had a big game as he had a 2 run triple in the 3rd among his 3 hit, 4 RBI night. The team continued their team effort as 10 players (of 12) had 2 or more hits and RBIs, which is a necessary component to having a successful season. Rick Pedone continued his torrid hitting along with Dave Ringer, Bill White, Tony Ranieri, and Bob Diamond adding clutch hits & RBIs. Kevin Moloney gamely handled the SS duties again although it is rumored he’ll be bringing shin guards from now on. The victory pushed Barco’s record to a very solid 7-2, which is an indication of their steady play.
