HOUGHS NECK - Coming off of their worst loss in team history and missing several key starters, the McInnis Carpentry softball club faced the daunting task of beating a high-powered Flanagans team that appears to be peaking in search of it's 7th straight championship.
The Hammers hung tough and took a 3-1 lead in the top of the third. Flanagans could not duplicate it's spectacular display of hitting from game one but did manage a steady attack, building a 10-3 lead through 5 innings of play.
"We gave them a good fight, we we're competitive", said Hammers GM Tom Fratolillo "We just couldn't get the bats going again tonight. Our defense and effort was much better than game one. Unfortunately we were one or two hits away from making a serious run at these guys. We'll be back Wednesday night to take another crack at it and see if we can get this thing to 2-1."
Flannys outscored the Hammers 4-3 through the final two innings to secure the 14-6 victory and take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best of five series.
Notes: Rich Brill was named Bud Light player of the game by going 2-3 with 2 RBI. Brill is 3-4 in the semifinals. . . Tom Fratolillo's playoff start in left was the first his 15 year career. . . Steve McInnis continued to hit well in the playoffs, going 2-4. . . The Morrell Club (25-6 game one winners) looks to put the number one seed Chefs in an 0-2 hole tonight in the other semifinal contest.
