Angela's Kitchen - 10 CORE Institute - 8

In a game where Core could have pretty much wrap up the championship, Angela’s had other ideas; which by winning kept themselves in the hunt. The game started quickly with both teams scoring 4 in the opening inning. Scoring drastically slowed down as both teams had several great plays. In the bottom of the 6th inning, the bottom half of the lineup came alive. Rick Armentano 1/3, Tom Yurkunas 3/3, Eric Coudret 2/3, and Don Cole 2/3 hit consecutive singles. Then pitcher Artie Stackpole came up with a huge hit to bring the top of the order up. Howard Sumner 2/4 came through with a single to knock in the 4th run, turning a one run deficit into a three run lead. Core was able to score one in the 7th but was unable to score again. Dick Nunez and Bruce Lowe triple were both 3/3. Craig Nelson was 1/3 with a double, and had numerous big plays at shortstop. Thank you Marty Jiminez, Don Cole and Rick Armentano for subbing.

CORE Institute faced Angela’s Kitchen for the second of three games. Angela’s won a close contest 10-8. CORE struggled both at the plate as well as defensively, however, John Nicodemo made the play of the game in right center field in the second inning.
