Pizza Port Brewery scored in all but one inning to slowly pull away from Plotkin Group at Alga Norte today and take a 21-12 victory. Kevin McBarron hit the first of his 4 doubles to start the game and was quickly driven in by Mark Lehman who went 5/5 (again). PPB built an 11-3 lead but could never quite get the big inning to pull away.
Plotkin Group stayed in it by throwing out three runners on the bases then coming up with a 5 run rally in the 6th. Dave Grull and Marty Topper’s 4 hits set the table for Larry Weinberger who came through with a grand slam homer capping his 4/4 day and PG was within 11-8.
But PPB kept pecking away as Dave Buck 4/4 had a solo homer and subs Ken Thompson and Phil McCabe combined for 6 RBIs to push the lead out to 21-10. PG’s Leo McFall had a nice day at 3rd base and might have gone 5/5 at the plate except for being robbed by a couple nice catches. McBarron took a HR away with a nice over the shoulder catch in deep LF while McCabe made a running grab of a sharp liner in RCF that ended the game.
PG thanks Bill Kutchera and PB thanks Ken Thompson and Phil McCabe for subbing. The teams thank Rick Shaw for rehabbing his shoulder with strike calls while umping.

Gaspar and The Draft welcomed back the warm weather for their game today at Alga 3. GA took the early lead, scoring 4 runs in the first inning. DR came back in the next two innings to take a 5-4 lead, but GA then scored 3 runs in the fourth for a 7-5 lead. DR scored a run in the fifth to narrow the lead to one before GA exploded for five runs in the sixth on five straight hits. Al Galaviz opened the inning with a homer and Nanci Watt ended the inning with a blast down the right field line that became a three-run homer. GA scored another five runs in the seventh and came away with an 18-11 victory.
Leading the GA hitting attack were Michael Henderson, Al Galaviz, Larry Wadalavage and Rick Skidmore, who all went 4 for 4. Craig Wheatcroft hit a home run and lead the team with 5 RBIs and Al Galaviz had two home runs. The GA defense was very solid today, particularly the infield which turned two double plays. Skip Moyer made an excellent play at third base in the eighth on a soft roller down the line. The runner left third and Skip chased him down the line before throwing to catcher Ron Silverman to get the out at home.
Leading the DR hitters were substitutes Rich Berkley and Dan Griffin, who both went 4 for 4. Rich led the team with 3 RBIs. Tom Benacka, Dan Smith and Phil Kay all went 4 for 5.
Many thanks to Leigh Peterson for a great job of umpiring.

The Hen Men (and women) put up a good fight today, with solid hitting from the top half of their order: Dave Bosque, Gary Soper, and Mark Pedote were all 4 for 4, and both Mike Brower and Oscar Lara went 3 for 4. But the Village People played good defense against the rest of the Hen Men, and the Villagers hitting was even better, with Gene LaChimia going 4 for 4, Bo Cai 3 for 3, and 3 hits each from Barry Anderson, Ray Kusmer, Dario Santana, and Dan Fry, as well as a homer from Mike Maltinsky.
So after the Villagers jumped to a 5-1 lead in the first, they never looked back. The Hen Men got close a few times but never got the lead and the Villagers won 19-8. A bit of a scare occurred in the middle of the game when Hennessey's catcher, Barb Pardo, fainted while behind the plate. Carlsbad's EMT was called immediately and with help from 2 spectators--Jeff Jacobs' wife and our old friend Bob Porter--Barb was taken to the hospital and last we heard is doing ok. However, she did suggest that perhaps the Village People could bathe a little more often.
Much thanks to Pablo Schook for umpiring.
