GAMES OF 12/11

We played a tripleheader at M.S. 141 in Riverdale yesterday, some records were broken, and they are described in the previous post. Here are the games.

Hewes 8, Appell 4
Havelock Hewes (15-21) picked up the win. His team struck 4 times in the top of the first and never trailed. Adam Garcia and Adam Horowitz each drove in 2.

Garcia 14, Stoeth / O'Connor 13
Adam Garcia's squad trailed 11-4 after 5 innings, and mounted an improbable comeback by scoring 5 times in the 6th and getting 5 more in the 7th. Sal Cipriano (3-for-4, 2 2B, HR, 3 RBI) capped the 6th inning with a 2-run blast to left, and drove in the winning run with a groundout (immediately after blasting a foul home run down the left field line). Eric Schulman also drove in 3 for the winners. Garcia struggled with his command all day but pitched a 1-2-3 7th for the closeout. Alex Rivera went 3-for-3 with a HR and 3 RBI for the other side; Jim O'Connor took the loss in relief.

O'Connor 8, Connor / Hewes 0
After blowing a non-save situation in game 2, Jim O'Connor (14-10) redeemed himself by tossing an 8-hit shutout. Adam Garcia was 3-for-4 with 2 homers and 4 RBI, and Eric Schulman added 3 hits. Jerry Ramirez was 3-for-4 for Hewes's team.

Records Update

After yesterday's tripleheader, two more single-season records fell by the wayside. Zach Nilva scored 5 runs, giving him a total of 107 and surpassing Joe Gerber's previous record of 103 in 1995. Ian Parfrey drove in 2 runs, and after reviewing a scoring decision from the Nov. 28 games, was determined to have 93 RBI, breaking Larry Savell's mark of 92, set in 1994.

Zach added to his record total of hits. He now has 153 for the season. Freddie Melendez did not add to his record total of player wins, and still has 50 for the season. Alex Rivera added to his record total of doubles, and now has 36.

Now, with low temperatures forecast for next week, and the Christmas holiday on the following weekend, another game is possible but unlikely. Freddie Melendez's lead in the pennant is now only one game over Don Weiss, Nel Yomtov, and Ian Parfrey, and 1.5 games over Eric Schulman, Zach Nilva, and Phil Ciccone. Any of these players, should we play, and they show up and sweep a tripleheader, could win at least a share of the pennant.

Alex Rivera and Ian Parfrey are tied for the home run lead with 10, after Alex took Adam Garcia deep at the MS 141 field in Riverdale yesterday. Should Alex hit another HR, he will prevent Ian from winning the 4th Triple Crown in SFLOI history. The other winners were Jeff Miller (1991), Carl Weinberg (2002), and Chris Hall (2004).
Alex could also steal Zach's runs record if the season continues. He's only 3 behind, with 104.

Back in January, an informal pact was made between me, Zach, and Alex, to break all the records in the game. Other than triples, walks, pitcher wins, sacrifices, batting average (Larry Savell's .623 seems almost unbreakable), we basically did it.
