Week of 8/21

An open letter to Gil Schmerler from his defense: We're sorry.

Gil lost 7-3 to Zach Nilva despite allowing no earned runs in Game 2 on Sunday. Zach scattered 6 hits enroute to his 8th win of the season. In the earlier game, Freddie Melendez prevailed over Havelock Hewes 4-3. Eric Schulman doubled to tie it, and hit a sac fly in the top of the 7th to win it. Zach Nilva was 3-for-5. Ian Parfrey paced Hewes's team by going 3-for-4.

On Thursday, Havelock Hewes beat Tony Connor 10-2 behind the hitting of Freddie Melendez (3-for-4, 3 RBI) and Ian Parfrey (3-for-3, RBI). Jorge Davila had 3 hits for Connor's team.

Please note that we have an evening permit for Riverside Park this Sunday.

Games of July 31

1. Melendez 9, O'Connor 7
Freddie Melendez won his 8th game, backed by the bats of Eric Schulman (4-for-4, 2 RBI) and Chris Hall (4-for-4, 2B, RBI). O'Connor's side was led by Gil Schmerler (3-for-4, RBI) and Brian Hernandez-Sandercock's 3-run HR.

2. Parfrey 2, Hewes 0 (5 innings)
Ian Parfrey threw his second straight shutout, allowing only one hit and one epic umpire-baiting meltdown. The batting hero of "the weasel game" was Andy Atkinson, who clubbed a 2-run HR to deep left in the 4th for the game's only runs. It was his first career SFL homer.
