3rd & 4th inning, LPI received the big goose egg and S&S scored in the

whereby LPI (as it does every year) blasted 9 runs off of Mark Yokel. Rosenberg
singled, Proper walked, Bloom doubled, Summerfield homered, Shifrin singled,
Ruby singled, Silber homered, Feldman singled and Rosenberg singled again.
S&S was scoreless at 14-5. In the 6th inning LPI added 2 more runs, but

7th inning "earned" 3 more runs. The game ended 16-3 with Yokel being
the last out and the losing pitcher. Hitting stars for LPI: Summerfield (1b, 2b,

(score 3-1). S&S was scoreless the rest of the game with only 1-walk in the
3rd inning and 1-single in the sixth! It was deja-vu all over again for S&S

2- 2b); Sacks (2- 1b, 2b); Shifrin (3-walks).
