Softball highlights for weeks 3 and 4

StewDoggz 25 Vandelay 16

Both teams took full advantage of the "hot" ball and turned this game into a slug fest. The ball began flying out of the yard in the 2nd inning when the StewDoggz launched 4 home runs and scored 9 times. Vandelay kept it interesting all game by displaying some power as well, and also by scoring in every inning but two. Down by 15 at one point, they clawed back to within 5 runs in the fifth inning. But in the end the 'Doggz had a little too much pop in their bats and totaled 25 runs with the help of 8 homers. J-Rod and Larry each hit two bombs while Schaeff, BA, Nixon and Animal each put one out as well. VooDoo picked up his 2nd win of the year on the hill and had the glove hand working magic up the middle. The kitchen was closed today ladies and gentlemen. Next up for the StewDoggz is a big early season matchup with Chico's next Sunday.

After Hours came out hitting and beat Blazing Cannons 17-3 behind the pitching of Pete Amodeo. D.J. Brown lead the defense as Shortstop while the offense lead by Mark McLoughlin and Jack Schaub going 7-8 with doubles, triples and Hr's. Brent Blanchard added 2 triples and Shawn O'Neil has a monster HR over the tree's in left.

Abco beats Blazing Cannons 27-7. ABCO batted around in each of the first 4 innings, and Ryan Delcampo smacked his 4th home run of the year.

The StewDoggz came out and made a statement on Sunday by beating a previously undefeated Chico's team. A bases clearing triple from Big Al in the first inning got the party started for the 'Doggz and gave them an early lead they would never relinquish. By scoring in every inning but one, the StewDoggz methodically kept the pressure on Chico's all game long. Carrying a 10 run lead into the final frame, you thought the 'Doggz had it all but wrapped up. Then Chico's bats came alive and they delivered one hit after another until the lead was cut to 4 with two men on. However, two outstanding defensive plays in the outfield by former gold glovers Larry and BA ended the rally and allowed the StewDoggz to exhale and enjoy a convincing win. Offensive stars for the 'Doggz included J-Rod with a 3 for 4 effort, Larry 3 for 4 and blasting his 5th homer of the year, Big Al with the big triple in the first, and Animal with a perfect 2 for 2 at the plate. The Big Voo earned his 3rd win of the season on the hill. O'fers were turned in by Dan "I can't get it out of the infield" Schaeffer, and Brett "I lead the league in beer fines" Summerville. Bud Light will work just fine fellas thank you.

Game #4 Brooks: 4:30 PM AH vs RK

After Hours came out hitting as did Roadkill each putting up 5 in the first. From there pitcher Pete Amodeo kept the Monsters of the Midway to singles nearly all of the game. Mark "Web-gem" Caira made a spectacular defensive play gunning out a player at second from a bunt style hit in the 5th inning. Roadkill had a HR from Bob Roth in the 6th. After Hours then loaded the bases and made it a game, but came up short in the end 17-13.
