NO GAME 4/17

Too much rain overnight. We'll try again next Sunday.

Opening Day Heckscher

We had a strong turnout of 25 players to celebrate the Central Park opener this morning, and played two nailbiters. Freddie Melendez (3-3) won the opener despite suffering an ankle injury on the bases in the second inning, and his team came back from a 6-1 deficit to win 7-6 on Eric Schulman's 2-run single in the bottom of the 6th. Schulman drove in 3, and Derek Martinez and Brian Hernandez homered for the losing team. In game 2, Ian Parfrey (2-2) beat Havelock Hewes 4-2. Hewes gave up 4 in the bottom of the 1st, and Parfrey made it stand up, scattering 9 hits, and inducing Freddie Melendez to ground to first with the bases loaded to end the game.

Games of 4/3

On our last weekend in Riverdale, Havelock Hewes (4-1) defeated Zach Nilva 15-6. Nel Yomtov was 3-for-4 with a 2B, HR, and 4 RBI. Jim O'Connor also drove in 3, and Alex Rivera homered. Eric Schulman led Nilva's team with 3 hits. In the nightcap, Matt Mishkin (1-1) beat Jim O'Connor, 15-4. Eric Schulman homered and drove in 5 runs, Mike Sulyman homered and drove in 4, and Freddie Melendez was 4-for-4 with 2 RBI. Nel Yomtov added 3 more hits for O'Connor's side.
