OPENING DAY!!

In what is hopefully a sign of things to come, the Heckscher grounds crew were efficient and unobtrusive, and we were on the field before 8:30. Despite a serious overload of players (33 in Game 2), both games were enjoyable and closely fought contests.

In game 1, Hewes defeated Appell 6-5. Hewes's team was led by Brian Hernandez (2-for-2, 2B, RBI). Don Weiss added 2 hits, and Russell Rivera drove in the go-ahead run with a 5th-inning single. Appell backed his own pitching with 2 hits, and Ian Parfrey homered and drove in three. Appell's team mounted a furious comeback in the 7th, but left the tying run on first base.

In game 2, Melendez beat Parfrey 7-5 in 6 innings. Gabe Hernandez's 3-run homer in the 3rd inning was the decisive blow. Gabe, Robert Rodriguez Sr., and Chris Hall all had 2 hits. Again, the tying run was stranded on base in the last inning.
