7:00pm - Barco versus Granny O'Shea's  - 60ft field

Barco climbed back into the win column with a solid 19-6 win over a struggling O’Sheas. The Barco Boys jumped out to a commanding 7 run lead in the top of the first and never looked back. They added 3 in the 2nd and another 7 in the 3rd before O’Sheas was able to get on the scoreboard. Coming up big for Barco were Rick Pedone, who made 4 good catches in RF battling the blinding sun, and Kevin Moloney, who was pressed into playing SS and played flawlessly. Gary Jambor and Dave Ringer, each w/ 4 hits, led Barco offensively with Dave adding 3 RBIs. Adding to the offense were Rick Pedone with 3 hits and 3 RBIs and Bill White who drove in 4. The win for Barco was due again to another fine team effort as 9 players had RBIs and multiple hits. The victory was particularly impressive as the team was only able to muster 11 players for the game. The win gave Barco a 5-2 record and continued their rebound season from two off years.
