Regular Season Opener

Havelock Hewes prevailed over Freddie Melendez, 12-7, in the first game of the 2014 season at the Heckscher fields. Hewes helped himself with three hits and three RBI, and Carl Weinberg smacked his 99th career HR, a solo bomb to left-center.

The second game was won by Sam Melendez, 4-3, over Jeff Appell. Melendez entered the final inning nursing a 3-2 lead, but Zach Nilva tripled to left, and scored on an infield grounder by Greg Hilska. Melendez escaped without further damage when Phil Ciccone's long liner to left landed in Matt Mishkin's glove. This set the stage for Chris Hall to hit a hard liner through the SS hole that scored Eric Schulman with the winning run.
