BISHOP FIELD, NORTH QUINCY- The McInnis Carpentry softball team once again had little trouble getting by the new look Yesterday's team, cruising to a 21-4 win to improve to 11-3 on the season. Steve McInnis put up an almost identical pitching line from the team's first encounter, allowing only 8 hits in the game to run his record to 7-1.
Yesterday's got off to a good start as Justin Ellwood led off the game with a triple to left field and scored one batter later on Ray Phillis's sharp single to right. Poised for a big first inning the Stinga's then hit into a double play to squash any chance of extending their lead.
The Carpenters bounced back in a big way in the home half of the first, as the first four hitters combined to hit for the cycle. Greg Harper & Steve Yocco singled to set the stage for a three run home run to right center by Scott Logan. Billy Wysocki followed with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by John Gray to give the Hammers a 4-1 lead after one inning of play.
Big Yellow struck back and looked to make a game of it as John Southern, Mike Aupperlee and Mike Downey all had hits to start the inning. Dean Salvatore delivered a clutch hit to tie the game at 4 all.
The Hammers again had an answer, scoring 8 big runs to go up 12-4. The Black and Orange sent 12 batters to the plate, receiving hits from Sal Buonopane, Mark Free, Jeff Sheehan, Neal Plant, Yocco, Logan & Wysocki.
"We hit the ball real well tonight", said Hammers 1st Baseman Jeff Sheehan "They have a good team over there. Unfortunately they ran into a buzzsaw tonight. They way we were swinging the bats tonight, it we be tough for anyone to match that."
The Hammers outscored Yesterday's 9-0 through the last four innings to close out the game 21-4. "We had a tough night," said Yesteday's infielder Bill Marchand "They hit the ball well and we didn't. We'll turn this thing around though, we have the players here to do it and I believe we will. Our goal is to simply make the playoffs at this point. Once your in the postseason tournament anything can happen."

"Walk Logan, what could happen?"
"Hit it to anyone but Logan"
I love this game!
Now Now-jealousy won't get you anywhere. Although-The Game has to admit-You don't eeeeeveeer walk the number 3 batter and tell the number 4 batter that you want him. Especially when you're losing by -I don't know-17 runs. Almost as good as Jose asking to take back Harpers walk. Way to go Bumble Bees. I do beleive it was the Game that said that Yesterdays wouldn't win more than 6 games this year. Prediction looks pretty good right about now doesn't it Mr. Southern?
