Plotkin Group 22 The Draft 13
It was a LONG time coming, but The Plotkin Group finally combined a formidable offense (uncommon) and a stout defense (very rare) to pull off its first win of the season. No longer satisfied to consider a tie as a moral victory, The Plotkin Groupies jumped out early and held on through the rest of the game against the spirited Draft Dodgers for a 22-13 final score. In a rarity, Plotkin scored ten runs in the first two innings and led 10-3 after the second. They finished every inning ahead by at least six after that, although The Draft closed to within 10-7 after three and a half.
The Draft Dodgers had strong offensive performances by Bob “Crash” Porter, Phil Kay, and Pat “Man of” Steele who were all 4 for 4. Darlin’ Marlon Eugene Moore and Dan Smith were both 3 for 4 with a home run for each. The bats were strong throughout the lineup, but several rallies were snuffed out by inning-ending double plays.
For The Plotkin Groupies, Larry Weinberger continued his torrid season-long hitting by going 5 for 5, thus raising his batting average to .873. Brian Turner also went 5 for 5 with two singles, two doubles, and a triple. Gary McBride was 4 for 5. Newcomers Jack Schwarzel and Ed George were both 3 for 4, along with Greg Lorton (Jack also had a walk). Leo McFall was 3 for 5 with a home run.
Thanks to Rick Shaw for umpiring.

The Villagers had squeaked by the Pizza Men in their last meeting, but the Pizza people were determined to not let that happen again. They jumped out to a 10 to 5 lead after 4 innings and things looked down for the Villagers.
But they didn't give up. Led by 4 for 5 hitting from Keith Richards and Mike Maltinsky (including a big 3-run homer in the 9th), and 5 RBIs each from Mike and Donato Domaguin, the Villagers scored 15 runs in the last 5 innings and held the Pizza Men to 6 for a final score of 21-16.
The Pizza Men's offense was led by Steve Sexton's 4 for 4 day, and 3 hits each from Mark Risebato, Dave Buck, and Jimmy Smyth (including a homer).
It wasn't a great game defensively for either team, but VPS outfielders Mike, Gene LaChimia, Johnny Brand. and Bill Mead all made at least one important catch.
Special thanks to Jim Geortzen for umpiring; to say that this was a difficult game for Jim is even more of an understatement than to say we've had a little rain this spring.
