Broward Factory Serv - 10 Shannon Biszantz Realty - 4

The TEAM bounced back from a tough loss to win, playing some good defense and getting 22 hits. Getting 3 hits each were Don Ranieri(2 doubles), John Nicodemo, Jim Opyd, Larry Radant, Jim Matthews and Ron Swanson. Getting 2 hits each were Russ Figueroa and Greg Carley. Good game and team effort. Next game:  June 21st 7:00 visitors

"The final score was 10-4 with Broward Factory Service defeating Shannon Bizantz Realty. However, going into the top of the seventh it was 6-4, so it was a good competitive game. The only problem was where was the offense from The Realtors??? Scoring only 4 Runs. after scoring 14 Runs in their first game. There were only 12 hits, three of those hits were off the bat of pitcher Joel Briener who had a Double, 2 Triples, 2 Runs Scored and 2 RBI. Two hitters had 2 hits Howard Sumner and David Maligro. Five hitters managed to get 1 Hit apiece and three had none. I feel sorry for the next team we play, these players are capable of doing some damage and I am expecting a lot bigger run output in the next game. "

Angela's Kitchen - 17 Game Day Health - 15

In a game in which Angela's was never in the lead until the top of the 7th inning, we gave up only 1 run in the bottom of the 7th to take a very very hard fought victory over the Game Day Mens Health team 17-15.  Jerry Eastham's GDMH team were leading the entire game with hard hits and good defense.  Angela's scored the max 4 runs in the 6th to tie the game and then added a 3 spot in the 7th to get the win as we ran our record to 2-0.   We had great defense most of the way with Mike Kachurak, sub John Nicodemo, Dan Newman and Dorothy Mazur securing a lot of fly balls in the outfield with a special shout out to Mike and John in the bottom of the 6th with GDMH's top of the lineup big hitters up and they caught all of the fly balls.  Greg Allseitz playing SS was really good as was Rover Shelly Rosenthal, 2nd baseman Joe Osoweic and the very dependable John Hammel at 1st base.  Offensively, Kat Melton was 3/3 with the big 3 run triple to cap the 4 run 6th by burning the RCF by banging it over his head.  Dan Newman was 4/4 with a double driving in 4 runs, Greg was also 4/4 scoring 4 runs.  Sub Nico, besides his brilliant defense added 3 hits and 4 RBI.  Mike Kachurak was a perfect 3/3 with a walk and an RBI.  3rd baseman Scott Piemeisl added 2 hits and 2 big RBI's.  The bottom of the lineup was very instrumental in winning this game with clutch hits, sac flies and walks and scored all 4 of the 6th inning runs.  Sub Catcher Mike McGinn was a great contributor with a bases loaded walk for an RBI and Joe hit the sacrifice fly for a ribbie.  A big shout out to Eileen for keeping our scorebook and a special thanks to the Jim Opyd led ground crew (David, Chris, John & Tom, to name a few) who do such a great job they usually go unnoticed. . . . .thank you!

Thanks to Larry Radant for subbing. Also a big thanks to Eileen for her big assistance in keeping the scorebook. It was a good season for the K/O Realtors, but we came up short in the final game.

As the season has now ended, Team Manager, Greg Roehm, would like to thank the following: Commissioner, Russ Figueroa for his leadership, Eileen Figueroa for keeping the hitting statistics, Ray Gibson for being at every game and coaching base runners despite his injury, and sponsor, Shannon Biszantz.

The game started with bright sunlight and a warm day and the Backbone team bats came out hot and took a 3-2 lead after the first inning.   The problem was they had to play the other 6 innings.  The team just could not mount any additional rallies.  They hit the ball hard but a lot of line drives and fly balls that found gloves did them.  Give credit to Biszantz pitching and fielding.   Offensively 6 players had two hits each – Les Zirbel, Joel Breiner, Chris Espejo, David Power (sub), Ron Swanson (had the teams only extra base hit) and Ken Kessler (sub).  Getting a hit each were Eric Coudret (sub), Ed Deussen and Ed Hart.  Thank you to the subs (Eric, David and Ken).   Thank you to the umpires Danny Wood, Michael Dakak, Jerry Eastham up in the tower and Eileen Figueroa keeping the book.  Backbone finished the Spring session at 1-5 but played hard but just didn’t get the results they were looking for.   Thank you to the entire team for making it a fun season.
