Opening Day Results

In typical SFL winter fashion, we ended up on field #2 at Seton Park without any bases, so we improvised some random garbage-- second base was an empty Dunkin Donuts box. It worked well enough. The first game went to Derek Martinez's Geezers, who defeated Jim O'Connor's Wheezers, 16-1. The rout was keyed by a monster offensive performance from Tony Connor, who doubled twice, tripled, and drove in 7 runs.

In the second game, Freddie Melendez scattered 10 hits and delivered the big blow with a grand slam HR, to defeat Ian Parfrey, 9-4.

Awards Recap

This probably should have been posted weeks ago, but it's not like we've been too busy since then: The gold gloves went to Freddie Melendez (P), Havelock Hewes (C), Gil Schmerler (1b), Joe Geller (2b), Freddie Melendez (3b), Phil Ciccone (ss), and Cid Rivera, Eric Schulman, Sam Melendez, and Zach Nilva (of). Rookie of the Year was Chris Pun by a close vote over Greg Hilska. Best Pitcher was Freddie Melendez. MVP was Ian Parfrey. Anne Atkinson and Gil Schmerler were our gracious hosts once again, and due to a treasury surplus, there was pizza. No significant rule changes were implemented. We might have done something about the outfield cones but I don't really remember.
