HOUGHS NECK - The McInnis Carpentry softball team went about their business last night by dishing out a steady barrage of hits to coast to their 14th win of the season over the "New Team" 22-4.
Steve Yocco and Scott Logan continued their monster seasons by combining to go 7 for 7 from the plate & scoring five times. Yocco had went 3-3 with a HR, Triple and career high 6 RBI's. "I'm seeing the ball real well right now," said the Hammer outfielder. "Not trying to do to much with it. Just keeping my eyes on the ball and driving the ball wherever it's pitched."
Logan, in a tight race for the team batting title with Yocco, had three straight hits before lifting a 5th inning sacrifice fly to left-center. The Carpentry thirdbaseman raised his average to .688 which trails only Yocco by seven points (.695). "The Game is here to take what is his," said Logan "I am the king of kings when it come to softball! Stevie's got an edge now and I suggest he enjoys it. . . because it won't last."
Greg Harper (4-4, 4 Runs, 2 RBI) sparked the Hammers offense by hitting the first pitch of the game to center field. After a walk by Yocco, Jimmy Dennis line a two run double to right. Logan followed with a hit to left. After a force by Steve McInnis (HR, 3 RBI), Sean Munro tripled to clear the bases and give the black & orange a quick 4-0 lead.
The Hammers used the long ball in the fourth to push the lead to double-digits. Mike Berry (3-4, 3 Runs, RBI) and Harper stared the inning and scored on a three run homer by Yocco. After hits by Dennis & Logan, McInnis connected on another three run bomb to right field. Two batters later Munro launched a solo shot to left center to close out the scoring.
The New Team were unable to produce much offense, scoring only two runs on seven hits through the first four innings. The Carpenters broke the game wide open in the fifth, scoring six runs behind hits by Tom Fratolillo (2-3, Double, 2 Runs), Rich Brill (2-4, 2 Runs), Berry , Yocco & Logan.
"We hit tonight," said Fratolillo "They were a bit overmatched tonight. We have a veteran group who had just lost two in row and was hungry for a victory. Whoever we played tonight would have had their hands full. Give them credit for hanging in there though. We needed this to get back on track."

The Game is true to his word! My apologies to team Yesterdays with the exception of John Southern. The Game said you wouldn't win more than six games all season-well fellas you won your seventh. Congrats! BUT- You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Why you ask??? I made my prediction when you were 5-2. All The Game has to say is WOW!!! Enjoy your two games in the playoffs boys, and I'll keep you posted on how the rest goes.
Last year didnt you get swept in the first round?So if my calculations are correct you have lost 6 playoff games in a row.(including getting swept in the championship the year before last)So maybe just maybe we will let you know how the second round is.Good luck guys!
Amazing!!! The first time you EVER make the playoffs and your mouth is writing checks that your asses can't cash, before you even play a game. Like you said-we got swept in the finals-the finals moron. As I remember correctly, the reason we lost one of those games is playing right center for you Bozos. Good luck with the Chefs-I already told them that you guys are talking smack about them, so they're pissed off. Have fun.
In a cage match with the Chefs?!
No TKO after 5 to stop them. (this is gonna get REAL ugly.)
