Game Day Health - 16 Angela's Kitchen - 0

Game Day Men's Health had a near perfect day against Angelas Kitchen beating them 16-0. Don Trenda pitched the shut out in this 5 inning game. 8 hitters were perfect at the plate on this day.

Don Trenda and Lonnie Saiz were 1-2.

Positively speaking, we remain tied for 2nd place at 3-2, while taking a shellacking by Game Day Men's Health 16-0. Offensively, we had 5 hits in 15 At Bats for a .333 average and of course failed to score. Our only hits were by sub Eric Coudret, sub Joe Stempniewski, Danny, Ed and John. Defensively, we had nice out field catches by Greg and Mike and good SS play by Ed and 2nd by Joe O. Thanks to Eric and Joe S. for subbing. Thank you to commissioner Russ Figueroa for keeping our scorebook (pretty easy huh Russ?), Umpires Joel Briener and Dave Maligro and Howard in the Tower.

Shannon Biszantz Realty - 2 Broward Factory Serv - 12

Broward Factory Service took an 8-0 lead after 2 innings but Shannon Biszantz Realty's defense and pitching held them to only 4 more runs the rest of the game. The bad news was that The Realtors only managed to score 2 runs the entire game, thanks to Broward's defense. You are not going to win many, possibly not any slow pitch softball games when you score only 2 runs. Defensively, the infield turned a couple of double plays and as stated above they helped pitcher Laura Johnson hold a tough hitting Broward team to only four runs over the last four innings. Offensively, Jay Schirpke and Joe Breiner had 2 hits each, Schipke a Double, Run Scored, RBI, Breiner 2 Doubles, Run Scored, RBI. That accounted for all our run scoring offense. Bruce Lowe, David Maligro (Double), Tom Yurkunas, Darren Proctor and Barney Armstrong and Dick Steiman all added a Hit.

A real team effort, with the defense playing great, both the infield and outfield and some good pitching from Larry Radant. The  hitting started out real hot, getting 4 runs in each of the first 2 innings. The team got 17 hits in 6 innings at bat. Perfect at the plate were Don Ranieri 2 for 2, John Nicodemo and Jim Opyd went 3 for 3. Going 2 for 3 were Ed Campbell, Greg Carley, Ron Swanson and Eric Coudret.

Shannon Biszantz Realty - 5 Game Day Health - 17

"I don't know what Game Day Men's Heath had for breakfast but when I find out I'm going to insist Shannon Biszantz Realty have the same thing before every game. Not only did they defeat us with their awesome offense, they also had some really great defense to stop us from preventing a 17-5, 5 inning mercy game. There were a few high lights Joe Breiner had a 3 Run over the fence Home Run in the third inning. That lifted up the team spirit a bit but only for a short time, Men's Health answered with a 4 Run bottom of the inning. Dick Steiman was 2 for 2 with a Run Scored, Howard Sumner was 2 for 3 with 2 Runs Scored. Jay Schirpke, Bruce Lowe David Milagro, Tom Yurkunas, and Barney Armstrong had a Hit apiece. Everyone except the two first hitters only batted twice. No excuses, we suffered a really tough loss but we will be back next Saturday and hopefully figure out a way to get a victory."

Game Day Men's Health beat Shannon Biszantz Reality 17-5.  Game Day only made 3 outs in the 5 inning game.  Game day had every batter get on base at least once.  Game Day's team batting average for this game was .880.  Lonnie Saiz 2-2 1RBI, Glenn Turner 2-2 2B 1RBI, Brian Walters 2-2 2B 1RBI, Chip Stanczak 2-2 BB 1RBI, Jerry Eastham 2-2 1RBI, David Power 3-3 2RBI's, Jeff Nickerson 3-3 3-2B 2RBI's, Frank Sandomenico 3-3 2B 3B 4RBI's, Bob Snelling 1-2 2B 2RBI's and Don Trenda 1-2 1RBI.

Angela's Kitchen - 15 Shannon Biszantz Realty - 10

In a come from behind victory, Angela's Kitchen defeated Shannon Biszantz Realty 15-10.  Angela's trailed 10-8 after 4 innings, but then outscored the real estate team 7-0 putting up 3 consecutive scoreless innings.  Going into the bottom of the 7th facing the top of the Biszantz order, the leadoff hitter laced a line drive down the right field line and Dorothy "Wizard" Mazur made a fantastic running catch to set the stage for the inning.  Following a single to left, the next batter lined a hard hit grounder to all-star Rover Kat Melton who corralled the ball, stepped on 2nd and threw a bullet to 1st baseman John Hammel to end the extremely well played game.  Our other 3 outfielders of Mike Kachurak, Greg Allseitz and Dan Newman all made great catches and our super SS Ed "Deuce" Deussen made several nice plays.  Offensively, the previously mentioned Dorothy was 4/4, scoring 2 runs and adding an RBI.  Ed was also 4/4 with 2 doubles, a walk and an RBI.  Adding 3 hits were Greg who had 4 RBI's via a triple, home run and a single, Kat who had 2 doubles and drove in 2 and pitcher Danny Wood with a double and scoring 3 runs.  With 2 hits were Dan, Mike, Joe Osowiec (2 RBI) and 3rd baseman Scott Piemeisl who laced 2 doubles and drove in 3 while "burning" the LCF'er.  Rounding out the slugfest with our 27 hits were John and Sal Politi (RBI).  Included in our 27 hits were a triple, home run and 7 doubles.  Thank you umpires Eric Coudret behind the plate and Bob Snelling patrolling the field.  Larry "calf roper" Radant was brilliant in the Tower.  Many thanks to Eileen for keeping the scorebook and hubby Russ for keeping the bats off the field.  A special shoutout to grounds crew member David "DP" Power for extra work yesterday to clean the dugouts and stands.

Another game, another loss, Angela's Kitchen ended up winning the game over Shannon Biszantz Realty 15-10. It was closer than that, up until the end of the 4th inning The Realtors led 10-8, However, the last three innings Angela's outscored us 7-0. The whole line-up from top to bottom got cold. Nine batters hit in those last three innings and nine outs were made. Some of it may have been cold bats but have to give some credit to Angela's defense. We won't discuss our defense we"ll go straight to offense. Jay Shirpke led the way with 4-4, 3 Runs Scored, 3 Doubles and a RBI. He was followed by Bruce Lowe 3-3 with 2 RBI. Howard Sumner led off the game with an inside the park Home Run, he had 2 hits, a walk, 3 Runs Scored and a RBI. Also with 2 Hits each, Tom Yurkunas, Joel Breiner and David Milagro. Yurkunas Sac Fly and RBI, Milagro Run Scored, Sac. Fly and 5 RBI and Breiner 2 Runs Scored. Darren Proctor and Laura Johnson each contributed a Hit. I believe that we are a better team then our record shows and that we"ll get it together sooner than later.

Broward Factory Serv - 10 Shannon Biszantz Realty - 4

The TEAM bounced back from a tough loss to win, playing some good defense and getting 22 hits. Getting 3 hits each were Don Ranieri(2 doubles), John Nicodemo, Jim Opyd, Larry Radant, Jim Matthews and Ron Swanson. Getting 2 hits each were Russ Figueroa and Greg Carley. Good game and team effort. Next game:  June 21st 7:00 visitors

"The final score was 10-4 with Broward Factory Service defeating Shannon Bizantz Realty. However, going into the top of the seventh it was 6-4, so it was a good competitive game. The only problem was where was the offense from The Realtors??? Scoring only 4 Runs. after scoring 14 Runs in their first game. There were only 12 hits, three of those hits were off the bat of pitcher Joel Briener who had a Double, 2 Triples, 2 Runs Scored and 2 RBI. Two hitters had 2 hits Howard Sumner and David Maligro. Five hitters managed to get 1 Hit apiece and three had none. I feel sorry for the next team we play, these players are capable of doing some damage and I am expecting a lot bigger run output in the next game. "

Angela's Kitchen - 17 Game Day Health - 15

The outfield of Danny Wood, Greg Alseitz, (sub) Mike Kachurak, and Joe Stempniewski caught almost everything.

The Realtors had chances but could not get the big hit when needed. Tom Ranalls lead what offense there was going 2-2 with a walk, while Joe Eschenbrenner and sub Larry Radant were both 2-3. Thanks to Larry Radant for subbing. Also a big thanks to Eileen for her big assistance in keeping the scorebook. It was a good season for the K/O Realtors, but we came up short in the final game.

As the season has now ended, Team Manager, Greg Roehm, would like to thank the following: Commissioner, Russ Figueroa for his leadership, Eileen Figueroa for keeping the hitting statistics, Ray Gibson for being at every game and coaching base runners despite his injury, and sponsor, Shannon Biszantz.

The game started with bright sunlight and a warm day and the Backbone team bats came out hot and took a 3-2 lead after the first inning.   The problem was they had to play the other 6 innings.  The team just could not mount any additional rallies.  They hit the ball hard but a lot of line drives and fly balls that found gloves did them.  Give credit to Biszantz pitching and fielding.   Offensively 6 players had two hits each – Les Zirbel, Joel Breiner, Chris Espejo, David Power (sub), Ron Swanson (had the teams only extra base hit) and Ken Kessler (sub).  Getting a hit each were Eric Coudret (sub), Ed Deussen and Ed Hart.  Thank you to the subs (Eric, David and Ken).   Thank you to the umpires Danny Wood, Michael Dakak, Jerry Eastham up in the tower and Eileen Figueroa keeping the book.  Backbone finished the Spring session at 1-5 but played hard but just didn’t get the results they were looking for.   Thank you to the entire team for making it a fun season.
