LaBREQUE FIELD, HN - Steve McInnis scatterd 8 hits through seven innings to improve to 5-1 on the season and went 4-4 from the plate to help the Hammers to a 14-4 win over Yesterday's Friday night in Houghs Neck.
The Hammers jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Steve Yocco (4-5) singled to get the Carpenters offense going, then scored on a hit by Scott Logan (4-4, 2 RBI's). A sacrifice fly by Bill Wysocki followed by a Gary Smith (3-3, RBI) double put the black & orange in control.
Yesterday's answered back with a run on an RBI hit by Mike Aupperlee (2-3, 2 RBI's). After shutting the M.C. club down John Southern hit a one out solo home run to center field to pull the Bee's within two. "I knew it was gone when I hit it, " said Southern, playing against his former team for the first time. "It felt good. Specially against these guys . . . I love em but it's great to stick it to your old teammates once in a while."
The Yesterday's offense sputtered all night as it's five through eleven hitters went a dismal 3-19. "Well, we need to get more production from the rest of the team," said Yesterday's manager Mike Aupperlee "We won't win many games with that stat line. But we'll bounce back, we'll be ok. It's the first time this unit has played together in a long time. We are finding each other out and have half a season to get on the same page."
A five run Hammers fourth followed by a three run 5th snuffed out any chance of a comeback as they extended the lead to 12-2.
With the win the Carpenters improve to 9-3.
