Legal Papers Inc. vs Havana Club Cannons
Game 1
Legal Papers- 10 Havana Club Cannons- 9 (8
Innings)
WP- Ted Winner LP-Mark Yokel
Game 1 was a classic. The Cannons wasted no time getting on the
board with 2 runs in the first highlighted by a triple off the bat of Evan
Kreitzer. Legal Papers answers back with two of their own with a single
from Eric Ruby and a double from Donnie "Du Rag" Herrod. With
runners on 2nd and 3rd Bob Hansen hits a line drive base hit to plate 2. 2-2 after 1 inning. It was a see-saw battle going
into the bottom of the 6th with the Cannons leading by the score of 7-6. With
2 outs Legal Papers needed some magic. They got it as Eric Ruby used his
"magic wand" to belt a game tying homerun. 7-7
after 6 innings of play. The Cannons were held scoreless in their
half of the 7th, despite loading the bases with just 1 out. In the bottom
of the 7th Legal Papers had the bases loaded with only 1 out, but were unable to
score. Rob Isennock tripled to rightfield to open the t-8th inning,
but stayed there for two outs before Jeff Robbins and Ernie Stephenson had
clutch hits. Down 2 going into the bottom half of the 8th Legal Papers
needed some more magic. David Michaelson leads off with a base hit up the
middle. Eric Ruby strides to the plate with one down and venom in his eyes.
The restricted flight balls made no difference to him as he crushed his
2nd homerun of the game to tie it 9-9. Donnie "Du Rag" Herrod,
not to be outdone, hits a Solo Jack of his own for a walk off homerun.
For Legal Papers, hitting stars were Eric Ruby (4-4, 2 CLUTCH
GAME TYING HR'S, 3 RBI, 3 R), - Donnie Herrod (2-4, 2B, HR, 2 RUNS, RBI),
Bob Hansen (2-2), and Ken Zalis (3-4, 2B, 2 R). For the Cannons, Gerry Edelman
and Ernie Stephenson(3-4, 2B, 2 RBI) had three hits apiece, while Jeff Robbins
had two hits and scored three runs while playing a very good shortstop.
Game 2
Havana Club Cannons- 11 Legal Papers
Inc- 6
WP- Jeff Robbins LP-Marty Ellis
Game 2 was a scene from Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Legal
Papers were absolutely the walking wounded. There were approximately 3
healthy players in their lineup which didn't help matters with an unhappy
Cannons team looking for a little redemption. Game two brought out some
character from the Cannons as they were in danger of being swept. Armed only
with wheelchairs and crutches, Legal Papers managed 1 run in the top half of the
first on a sacrifice fly from Donnie "Du Rag" Herrod. Cannons
answered and then some with 3 of their own in the bottom of the first. This
was highlighted by a 2 RBI triple off the bat of Johhny Edelman and an RBI
single from Eisenoch. Legal Papers scored 1 in the 2nd, 1 in the 3rd, and
1 in the 4th to bring the score to 4-3 with the Cannons waiting in their half of
the inning to "bust out the whopping stick". And bust it out
they did scoring 8 runs on 9 hits. Marty Ellis must have had the rock
band, The Scorpions in his ear, cause he was Rocked Like A Hurricane. (No
Offense Marty). This inning was a complete disaster for Legal Papers defensively
commiting 3 errors. The game was quiet after that with Legal Papers
scoring only 2 more times for the final score of 11-6. Jeff Robbins got the win
in relief of Andy Winick.
Hitting Highlights:
CANNONS - Jeff Kurland (2-3), Rob Eisennoch (2-3,
RBI), Johnny Edelman (2-3, 3B, 2 RBI), Jeff Robbins (2-4, 2 R), Steve Henneman
(2-4).
LEGAL PAPERS - Eric Ruby (2-4, 2B, 3B, 2 R), Donnie
Herrod (2-3, 2 RBI, 2B).

Attman's Deli vs Sky & Sky Inc
Game 1
Attman's Deli- 12 Sky & Sky Inc- 4
WP- Bruce Eisenberg LP- Marc Leibovitz
It was a day of first inning rallies for Attman's which proved to be a force.
Sky & Sky's first batter singled but was nabbed at 2nd trying to stretch the
base knock. After two more quick outs Attman's hitters came with their bats and
Wheaties as 5 of the first 6 batters singled. Add 2 more hits, 2 errors, a
misplayed fly ball, and 7 runs in total came across to score. In the meantime
Eisey was shutting down the Sky & Sky offense, only having pitched to 15
batters through 4 innings. Attmans' bats also slowed down as the teams each
exchanged 2 runs in the 3rd, but Eisey basically stayed in control throughout as
Sky & Sky added a run in the 5th and 7th. Attman's never relinquished their
7 run lead adding 1 each in the 4th, 5th and 6th. The final score ended 12-4 as
Bruce Eisenberg pitched an excellent game keeping the hitters off balance for
his 8th win of the season, while Mark Leibovitz was saddled with the loss.
Hitting stars for Attman's were Dave Sandler 2-3 (3B, 1B, BB, 3 runs), Ricky
Farley 2-3 (2 1B, SF), Brian Wolf 2-3(2B, 1B), Andy Rosenthal(3B) and Bruce
Eisenberg also each went 2-3. For Sky & Sky, Scott Felton did chip in 2
singles.
Game 2
Attman's Deli- 12 Sky & Sky Inc- 11
WP- Bruce Eisenberg LP- Larry Newman
Again Attman's came out swinging in their half of the first as they batted 14
hitters and scored 10 runs. Robbie Ressin's double was the only extra base hit
in the inning as 7 singles, 2 walks and 2 errors helped put the game seemingly
out of reach. In the Sky & Sky half of the first Brian Sky singled in 2 to
chip away at the lead. But then the tide started to turn, Attmans' bats fell
silent for the next 3 innings while Sky & Sky had a big 3rd inning. Brian
Kowitz hit a 3 run homer to right center and Alan Smith tripled in 1. Alan
Friedman knocked another one in as 5 crossed in the inning which seemed to
rejuvenate Sky & Sky. In the 4th, a rare Attman's error eventually cost them
one run as Brian Kowitz doubled and Scott Felton doubled 2 more in. Two more
singles and Sky & Sky had their first lead of the day. In the t-5th an error
by Sky & Sky allowed 1 run to score and tie the ballgame after 5. In the 6th
a leadoff single and good base running by Scott Moffett lead to Attman's pulling
ahead by 1. In the 6th Sky & Sky had a golden opportunity with their leadoff
man getting on and eventually loading the bases with Brian Mekiliesky up and
just 1 away. He scorched the ball to Brian Wolf at SS who turned the double play
to end the threat. In the b-7th Sky & Sky got the tying runner to 2B, but
was unable to convert as the final score ended 12-11.
Hitting stars for Attman's were Scott Moffett, Ricky Farley,
Brian Wolf and Paul Bell all going 2-4 with 2 singles. Robbie Ressin was aslo
2-4 with a double. Hitting stars for Sky & Sky were Steve Truitt 3-4 (SF),
Brian Kowitz 4-4 (HR, 3 2B,3 RBI, 3 runs), Brian Sky 3-4 (2B, 2 1B, 3 RBI).

WP- Larry Hineline LP- Gary Schoengold
Larry Hineline improved his record to 4-0 as Palmgard defeated Orbin
Publishing 5-1 in the opener.
Game 2
Orbin Publishing- 10 Palmgard- 9
WP- Gary Schoengold LP- Mike Johnson
The second game was a dog fight to the final out. Palmgard jumped
on top with one run in the bottom of the first. Orbin responded with two
runs in the top of the second on hits by Mark Rifkin, Josh Vieth, and Aaron
Pearlman, along with some timely base running. But in the bottom of the
third, Palmgard exploded for five runs. Orbin answered with one in the
sixth on an RBI single from Carl Galler, and two more in the sixth. But
Palmgard came right back in the bottom of the sixth with two runs on the only
home run of the day, for a three run lead. In the top of the seventh, loaded the
bases for Greg Teague, who cleared them with a three run double. Greg
scored on Jamie Lubliner's double, and Jamie scored on Justin Ott's triple.
Justin was thrown out on a close play at the plate trying to stretch the triple
into a four-bagger. Palmgard did not quit. With one out in the bottom of
the seventh they scored a run and loaded the bases. The threat ended with
a force at the plate from Justin Ott to Carl Galler and a ground out to the
winning pitcher Gary Schoengold.
