Kings vs Havana Club Cannons
Game 1
Havana Club Cannons-7 Kings-3
WP- Mark Yokel LP - Chuck Grant
The Havana Club Cannons played the Kings in the first game today with a
shorthanded nine players. In the third inning, Johnny Edelman tripled to knock
in the first runs of the game. The Kings tied it at two apiece in the b-5th.
Todd Katz, Mike Pusateri (game 2-2,1 R,2 RBI), and Jeff Slutzker started the
b-5th with consecutive singles. Dave Miller's SF put across the tying run. In
the t-6th Johnny Edelman (game 4-4,2 R,2 RBI) singled to lead off, Evan Kreitzer
doubled, and then Rob Isennock singled both across, for a 4-2 lead. With Mark
Yokel pitching, that lead appeared safe, but the Cannons added 3 more runs in
t-7th with consecutive hits by Dan Kassel, Steve Henneman (game 2-3,2 R),
Edelman and Kreitzer (game 2-4,1 R,2 RBI,2B). Kings threatened in b-7th, scoring
a run to making score 7-3, and had the bases loaded with 2 outs, but Yokel
induced Josh Frederick into a flyout to end the ballgame. The game was played
well defensively with the Cannons committing just 1 error and the Kings 2.
Game 2
Havana Club Cannons- Kings-
WP-Mark Yokel LP - Jeff Goldstein
Game two is always tougher against the Kings and today was no exception.
The Havana Club did have 10 men for game two, but Mark Yokel hurled again. The
Cannons led 6-3 after 3 innings, but the Kings scored 7 in the t-4th to take a
10-6 advantage. In that inning, Kings batted around and got RBI hits by Todd
Katz, Mike Pusateri, Dave Roogow, Jeff Goldstein, and Kenny Salzman. In b-4th,
Steve Henneman hit a 2-RBI triple and he came in to score on an Evan Kreitzer SF
to get it to 10-9 Kings. Gerry Edelman's SF knotted it at 10-10 in the b-5th,
and it stayed that way until inning 11. However, in b-8th, Cannons Mark Yokel
started inning with a single to LF. Jeff Kurland followed with a flyout to RF,
but the throw into the infield went out-of-play with Yokel awarded thirdbase.
The Kings elected to intentionally walk Dan Kassel and Steve Henneman (game
2-5,2 R,3 RBI,3B,W) to set up a force play. Electing to go with 5 infielders,
Kings pitcher Jeff Goldstein was able to retire Kreitzer on a fly ball to CF
Marc Goldstein. Yokel tagged from 3B trying to score and ended up getting caught
and tagged out in a rundown. In Kings t-11th, Dave Roogow (game 2-5,2 R,1 RBI)
beat out a 2-out infield single and scored on Jeff Goldstein's (game 2-4,1 R,2
RBI,2B) RBI double. In the home half of the 11th, leadoff man Jeff Kurland
singled. Dan Kassel singled and Evan Kreitzer (game 3-5,2 R,3 RBI,2B,SF) doubled
after Henneman popped out. This tied it at 11-11 and the Kings walked Johnny
Edelman intentionally to face Rob Isennock. Isennock was walked with the bases
loaded, forcing in the winning run and giving the Cannons the sweep.
Notes: Kings Jeff Slutzker (back), Shad Jones (shoulder), and Shilo Merwitz (leg) all left the doubleheader early with injuries. Jones and Merwitz are expected back next week.

Game 1
GorgeousWatches-23 Orbin Publishing-8
WP- LP- Gary Schoengold
GW shook off a sluggish start to post a doubleheader sweep of Orbin Publishing 22-8 and 11-7.
Catcher Larry Henderson, rebounding from one of his worse weeks the week before, led a 36 hit attack in game one by going 5-5 and scoring
4 runs. GW scored at least 1 run in all 7 innings. After 2 innings the score was tied at 2 apiece. But
GW scored 5 runs in the third by stringing together five straight hits and a sacrifice fly.
In the 4th inning, newcomer SS Mike Jenkins belted a titanic 2-run homer to make it 9-4 and the rout was on as
GW scored 6 more runs in the inning to make it 13-4. GW scored 1 in the 5th, 3 in the
6th and 5 more in the 7th. Sonny Cherlstein pitched well in getting his 3rd win of the season. Rich Northrup mopped up in the

GW took a 1-0 lead in the b-1st with lead off back to back doubles by LCF Craig Dlin and Henderson.
But Orbin Publishing fought back with 2 runs in the t-2nd and in the t-3rd to take a 4-1 lead.
In the b-3rd GW started to mount their comeback. Craig Dlin opened with a single. Henderson tripled him home to make it 4-2. After

4-4. DH Russ Seemster then singled home Rosenstein to give GW the lead 5-4. 3B Joel Koman hit a doubled in the gap to score pinchrunner Sonny Cherelstein to make it 6-4. Jenkins then singled home Koman to end the scoring at 7-4 for

second base. Then Jenkins stepped up and again delivered a big tater this time to
LCF to clear the bases and give GW the 11-7 margin that would hold up for the rest of the game.

Sky & Sky Inc. vs Palmgard
Game 1
Sky & Sky Inc-6 Palmgard-5
WP-Marc Leibovitz LP-Larry Hineline
The games featured two 1 run decisions, both won in the last inning. In game 1,
Palmgard put 2 on the board with 4 hits as Jim Silvestri singled home Grailen
Archie and Gabe Silber singled home another one. Sky & Sky then came up to
inflict their own damage in the 1st…a Brian Kowitz triple knocked in one.
Brian Sky singled home another and Eric Gertner got an RBI double. In the t-3rd
Palmgard regained the lead as Archie delivered another RBI hit and Jim Davis got
a SF as did Gabe Silber. But make no mistake about it, this was a pitchers’
duel all the way as Larry Hineline pitched to 4 or fewer batters in the
remaining innings. Marc Leibovitz tried to match the feat as he pitched to 4 or
fewer batters in 5 of the innings for Sky & Sky. With Palmgard clinging to a
1 run lead entering the b-7th Scott Felton promptly lead off with a single and
Brian Sky drew a walk. This set up Andy Bloom who hit a single to right field
which fooled the RF and both runners came around to score on the winning 2 RBI
knock. Leibovitz got the win and Heinline the truly tough luck loss.
Hitting stars for Sky & Sky were David Kowitz 2-3 and Brian
Kowitz also 2-3 (3B, 2B). For Palmgard Grailen Archie (3-4, 2B, 2-R); Jim
Silvestri (2-3, 2B, 2-R, RBI); Mike Woods (2-3, 2B, RBI).
Game 2
Sky & Sky Inc-8 Palmgard-7 (12
INNINGS)
WP-Larry Newman LP-Mike Johnson
Game 2 was a 12 inning marathon with neither team leading by more than 1 run in
any inning. In the t-1st Scott Felton doubled home one, but Palmgard came right
back with 3 hits in the b-1st and 2 runs. Sky & Sky tied it as Eric Gertner
doubled home one to knot the score. Sky & Sky jumped out to a 4-2 lead as
Alan Smith hit a long sac fly that scored one and Mike Rottenberg singled home
another. In the t-4th Mike Woods got things rolling with a double and came
around to score, cutting the deficit to one. In the 5th Scott Felton singled
home Brian Kowitz to again push Sky & Sky ahead by two. Palmgard got 2 of
their own in the b-5th as Jeff Webster singled, came around to score, and Gabe
Silber got another sac fly. The score remained tied 5-5 after 7. In the
8th, Sky & Sky got one run as Scott Felton doubled home the go ahead run.
With their backs against the wall Jim Davis singled and eventually came around
to score. Jumping ahead to the 9th both teams got a runner to 3rd base including
Palmgard who batted 6 players in the inning but neither team took advantage. In
the 10th Palmgard again loaded the bases with 1 out but Scott Felton went back
on a Mickey Golden deep shot to right field to save the game. In the 11th Scott
Felton doubled and came in to score on a Brian Sky SF. Palmgard battled back
taking advantage of a mental lapse by the Sky & Sky SS. The tying run came
around to score as Mike Johnson singled and Jeff Webster knocked him in. To the
12th, with both teams fatigued, Eric Gertner lead off with a single and advanced
on a SF. Alan Friedman singled him home to again put Sky & Sky ahead by 1
run. Palmgard lead off with 3 singles but failed to push the tying run across
the plate as Sky & Sky eked out its second, last inning win of the
day.

Randallstown High School Field #4
Attman's Deli vs Legal Papers Inc
Game 1
Attman's Deli-7 Legal Papers-3
WP-Bruce Eisenberg LP-Ted Winner
A very quiet and uneventful doubleheader was played as Attman's took both
ends of the doubleheader. LPI started off inning #1 with Ryan Arnett crushing a
line drive to left field for a triple followed by a single by Jeff Sacks.
From inning #2 to the end of the game, Bruce Eisenberg pitched a magnificent
game allowing only 5 more hits and creating 13 flyball outs. Attman's had a 3-2
lead in the b-5th, when they scored 4 more runs on consecutive singles by Matt
Bell, Dave Sandler, and Scott Moffet, followd by Sac flies from Lee
Eidelberg and Ricky Farley. Another run came home on a double by Brian
Wolf after Warren Scudder reached on an error. Attman's had 11 hits, 3 walks,
and 3 SF's. LPI's Ted Winner displayed excellent pitching control, but it was
not enough as Attman's closed out the game.
Game 2
Attman's Deli-7 Legal Papers-0
WP-Bruce Eisenberg LP-Marty Ellis
Game two was equally as boring as Attman's scored 3 runs in the 1st and
3rd innings for a 6-0 lead and Bruce Eisenberg went on to shutout LPI for the
7-0 victory. Eisenberg was superb, pitching a 5 hitter, creating 16 fly outs.
LPI had only one opportunity to cut the deficit in the 5th inning with
bases loaded and one out. Jeff Sacks hit a screaming line drive to the second
baseman for the second out, then Ron Bondroff hit a fly ball to rightcenter
field.
Notes: Short of ASA Umpires this week, Kory Rosenberg filled in for the umpiring duties. He did a good job calling strikes for both teams as there was little controversy most of the game. He was definitely a PITCHERS UMPIRE !
