GAMES OF SEPT 26

Rosengard 7, O'Connor 1
Dave Rosengard (4-6) tossed a 5-hitter, and Phil Ciccone and Don Weiss each drove in two runs.

Appell 2, Melendez 1
Jeff Appell (6-3) also allowed only 5 hits, but Freddy Melendez almost matched him. Alex Rivera drove in Zach Nilva for both runs, with a double and a sac fly. Melendez's team didn't score until the bottom of the 7th, when Ian Parfrey tripled and Brian Hernandez's sac fly plated him. Appell is 2/3 of an inning short of qualifying for the ERA title.

Nilva 15, Hewes 5
Zach Nilva (4-3) continued his run of good pitching performances, allowing 2 runs on 12 hits in 6 innings. He also had 3 hits. Alex Rivera (2-for-3, 2B, HR, 4 RBI) and Eric Schulman (3-for-4, solo HR) led the offensive attack, and Eddie Fernandez also homered. Hewes allowed 11 of the runs in the top of the 4th. His team was led by Jaime Orochena (4-for-4, 2B, RBI) and Freddy Melendez (3-for-4, 2B, RBI).

Next Sunday is the LAST DAY at Heckscher.
