Game #1 – Mott-ley Crew vs. Pancake Batters

Ian Kacergis gets things rolling with an RBI single giving Crew an early 1-0 lead. Pancake batters whip up a batch and grab five runs in the bottom of the inning. Jimmy Weigers gets them rolling with a three run bomb, followed by an RBI single from Alex Brown. Crew get within two by getting two runs in the second off a double from Larissa Motts. But Pancake’s match and more again with another five runs. They get another three run bomb, this time from Pat Malloy as they lead 10-3 after two innings. Pancake’s number seems to be five tonight as they grab another five runs in the third. Weigers bat stays sizzling as he knocks in two runs on a double. Malloy also adds a run in the inning with a single. Crew grabs five runs across the fourth and fifth innings highlighted by a three run bomb off the bat of Brady Mengel. Jonathan Duchette also added an RBI on a single. Crew will grab three runs in the sixth as well, thanks to a Anthony Rapposelli RBI double and sac fly from Motts, but it would be too little too late as Pancake’s will take this one.

Game #2 – Mean Machine vs. Blue Devils

Mean Machine start us off fast with a Scott Gerhart two run bomb into the woods. Bob Cullman, a couple batters later, then knocks in a run on a single as they lead 3-0. No one will score again until the third, when Mean Machine get back to their scoring. Ron Ducko gets in a run on a single, before Amy Potts knocks in a run on a double. Mike Pinelli knocks in two runs on a double as they take a 9-0 lead. Blue Devils finally get back to work and start hitting in the fifth. Gaby Rosato clears the bases with a double and Chuck Mastrangelo knocks in one with a single. That is where their runs would end tho, as they can’t generate any more runs. Mean Machine will add some late insurance runs and take it. Mean Machine win 14-5.
