GAMES OF 9/5

1. Hewes 6, Stoeth 5
Havelock Hewes (9-16) got Gil Schmerler to line out to SS Dave Sommers with the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the top of the 7th to preserve the win. Sommers (2-for-3, 2B, 3 RBI) supplied most of the offensive firepower for the winning side. Mike Palma was 3-for-4 with 2 RBI for Stoeth's team.

2. Appell 6, Rosengard 4
Jeff Appell (4-3) scattered 7 hits, and worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the 7th inning, allowing only Jaime Orochena's sac fly. Appell also doubled and drove in 2. Zach Nilva was 3-for-4 with an RBI. Rosengard got a 2-run double by Derek Martinez and little else in the way of offensive support.

3. Melendez 10, Martinez 2
These two pitchers squared off against each other in an equally lopsided game last week, won by Martinez, and this time Freddy Melendez (10-6) got his revenge, scattering 11 hits and pitching shutout ball over the final 6 frames. Don Weiss (3-for-5, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI) and Zach Nilva (3-for-5, 2B, 2 RBI) led the way, as Martinez struggled with his control all day, walking nine.
