Pikesville Senior High Field 4
Sky & Sky Inc. vs Havana Club Cannons
Game 1
Cannons 9 Sky & Sky 4
The Cannons met Sky & Sky on field four
with both teams just looking to maintain their respective playoff slotting.
The Cannons edged out to a lead in the first as Dan Kassel singled and later
came around to score on an error by the Sky & Sky infield. A leadoff
error in the second opened the door for three more Cannon runs. Rob
Isonnock doubled down the LF line to score one. Then the two most
experienced Cannons players, Tom Paulshock and Gerry Edelman, delivered back
to back singles to knock in two more. On the other side of the ball
Paulshock breezed through the first 12 Sky & Sky batters not allowing a
hit. In the fourth Steve Henneman singled one home for The Cannons, and
Coach Edelman followed later in the inning with another RBI single. Sky
& Sky did manage to get on the board in the home half of the fourth as
Brian "Sky" Mekiliesky singled home a run. In the fifth Jeff
Kurland tripled and was driven in on a SF, to make the score 7-1 after 5.
Two errors allowed The Cannons to add another one in the sixth on Steve
Henneman's single, but that's when Sky & Sky batters seemed to spark up.
Two walks and a single loaded the bases before Andy Bloom tripled home all
three runners. Unfortunately for Sky & Sky the comeback ended there.
The meat of The Cannon's order added two insurance runs in the 7th with Jim
Peterson's single doing the damage. Final score 10-4 with Tom Paulshock
getting a well deserved complete game win and Larry Newman taking the loss. The
Cannons attack featured Jeff Kurland(3-4,3B,2 1B,2 runs), Jeff
Robbins(2-4,2B,1B,2 runs) Steve Henneman(3-4,2RBI,2runs) and Tom Paulshock who
combined with Gerry Edelman to go 4-6 with 3 RBI. For Sky & Sky Andy
Bloom played big going 2-3(3B,2B,3RBI) and scored Sky's lone remaining run.
Game 2
Cannons 10 Sky & Sky 9 (9 Innings)
Game 2 was a seasaw battle for the ages with four different
ties and two lead changes. Paulshock started again through the Sky &
Sky line-up allowing only 1 hit through the first 12 batters. But
circumstances were favoring Sky's chances. The Cannons lost Jim Peterson
who
had something more important than this softball game, and Johnny Edleman
slipped rounding first base to dislocate his thumb. Everytime Peterson's
spot in the line-up came around there was an automatic out. That happened three
times. The Cannons opened up with four in the bottom of inning one. Jeff Kurland
singled. Johnny Edelman doubled. Jim Peterson doubled. Jeff Robbins tripled.
Neal Charkatz and Steve Henneman singled, for the four spot. Sky took full
advantage of the missing outfielder to close a 4-run deficit down to one run.
RBIs by Andy Bloom, Alan Smith and Carl Goldsmith closed the gap.
Next inning Sky pushed ahead by adding three more as Scott Felton doubled with
the bases loaded. Controversy erupted as Joel Wax apparently singled him
home, but the slide into the catcher was ruled intentional and he was called
out for not avoiding contact. Wayne Resnick singled home Eric Gertner
after he doubled but was later thrown out at home trying to sneak by on an
overthrow at first. The Cannons tied it up on an error in their half of
the 6th. A Scott Felton blast to deep RF put Sky & Sky ahead going
into the bottom of the 7th. The Cannons tied it up so the game went into
extra innings. Both teams went quietly in the eighth before Carl
Goldsmith went tree hunting with his leadoff triple. Eric Gertner
doubled him home but was stranded at third which played a big role for The
Cannons. They pushed two across in the ninth to win the game as Tom
Paulshock got a clutch single to CF. Neal Charkatz' two out double was
the rally starter. For the Cannons, Neal went 3 for four for the game. Jeff
Robbins also had three hits including a triple, and Jeff Kurland was four for
four and a walk. Hitting stars
for Sky & Sky included Scott Felton who missed the cycle, needing only a
single and added 4 RBI's,Joel Wax and Alan Friedman were both 3 for 3 with a
walk, and Eric Gertner had two doubles and an RBI.
