Yocco, McInnis Power M.C. to 18-7 Win Over Hofbrau

BISHOP FIELD, N.Q. - Steve Yocco went 5-5 from the plate and Steve McInnis continued his monster season by going 2-4 with a long home run to power the M.C. club to an 18-7 win over the Hofbrau last night in North Quincy.

McInnis is batting .684 with 10 RBI and 2 HR's through nine games. "I feel good," said the team starting pitcher and owner "I'm just seeing the ball real well and feel very confident every time I step up to the plate. Maybe the manager will take notice and move me up in the order for once."

The Carpenters broke open a suprisingly tight game in the 5th inning. Leading 5-4 over the young, winless Hofbrau Yocco singled home Tom Fratolillo and Scored on Scott Logan's RBI double to right field. Home runs by John Gray and Sean Munroe pushed the Hammers lead to 13-4.

"That was a nice win against a team desperate to break into the win column," said Carpentry infielder Mark Free "They have some good talent on that club and played us tough for five innings. If they continue to play like that and cut down on some errors they will surprise someone."

The win is the Hammers third straight and fifth in their last six games. They improve to 7-2 and trail only Flanagans (8-1) in the standings.
