Sky & Sky Inc vs Orbin Publishing
Game 1
Sky & Sky Inc - 13 Orbin Publishing - 2
WP - Marc Leibovitz LP - Gary Schoengold
In game 1 Orbin Publishing got a single right between the pitcher's legs
and after 2 players touched it and 2 errors he crossed the plate for the only
defensive lapse of the game. Sky & Sky immediately returned fire with a
David Kowitz ground-rule double. Scott Felton tripled with 2 on to push Sky
& Sky into the lead. Andy Bloom and Joel Wax each singled in another runner
for a 4-1 lead in the b-1st. In Sky & Sky's 2nd, 13 men came to the plate.
Brian Kowitz hit a grand slam and a walk, plus 2 errors lead to 2 more runs.
When the dust cleared a total of 8 runs had crossed the plate with 4 errors and
4 hits in the inning. In the t-3rd, Orbin Publishing's Matt Summerlin singled
home 1 but Marc Leibovitz induced a ground ball to 3rd for the inning ending
double play. In the b-4th Brian "Sky" Mekiliesky singled home a run,
but it became a defensive showcase from that point forward. Each pitcher pitched
to 4 batters or fewer and Leibovitz even helped out his own
cause with the glove. On an overthrow from LF he alertly backed up 3rd and
flipped to the 3rd baseman to tag out the baserunner who overran the base. The
final score 13-2 as Leibovitz got his 2nd win of the season and Gary Schoengold
took the loss. Hitting stars for Sky & Sky were Brian Kowitz (2-4, HR 2B
4RBI 2 runs), Andy Bloom (2-4, 2RBI) and Joel Wax (2-3, 1RBI). For Orbin
Publishing Justin Ott & Josh Veith were each(3-3, 2B 2 1B), Jamie Lubliner
and Andy Fein both went 2-3.

WP - Larry Newman LP - Gary Schoengold
This contest featured far more defense and a much closer final outcome.

t-2nd Alan Smith plated 1 for a 2-0 lead. Orbin Publishing came back with 2 in
the b-2nd including a homerun by Schoengold and Andy Fein singled in Aaron
Pearlman. Brian Kowitz hit a sac fly with the bases loaded to drive in one and
Brian Sky hit a hard grounder to 2nd which was misplayed for another run. Not to
be outdone Orbin Publishing's George Teague doubled and after a sac fly and a
single by Matt Summerlin the score was knotted again at 4. Sky & Sky pushed
ahead by 1 in the t-4th with a solo job by Joel Wax and another crossed in the
next inning as Aric Spitulnik had a SF. Gary Schoengold pitched his way out of a
bases loaded jam inducing a pop up to the 2nd baseman to prevent further damage.
In the meantime Larry Newman set down 11 in a row cruising through the later
innings. Although Orbin Publishing had the tying run on base in the b-7th they
were not able to cut into the lead and the final score ended 6-4. The winning
pitcher was Larry Newman and again Gary Schoengold took the hard luck loss.
