Games and Notes 5/22

Today we had a pair of games featuring little scoring and lots of mud. In the opener, Havelock Hewes improved to 8-3 by winning a 3-2 decision over Laura Stoeth. Hav scattered 8 hits in the win. His infield single tied the game, and Mike Palma's single to center plated the go-ahead run, both in the bottom of the 5th. In the nightcap, Zach Nilva (4-1) beat Jeff Appell 5-3. Zach scattered 9 hits.

On May 8, SFL played a tripleheader. Game 1 went to Havelock Hewes 13-10 over Jim O'Connor. Hav's team clawed back from a 7-0 deficit. In Game 2, Jeff Appell beat Dave Rosengard 8-6, and Appell's team came from 5-0 down to win. In the third game, Hav won his rematch with O'Connor, 7-3. Bill McLaughlin went 4-for-4 for the winners and Sam Melendez's 2-run HR was almost all of the offense that O'Connor got.

Here's some great photography by Mike Palma of our esteemed commissioner, Havelock Hewes, from the '04 season. For more SFLOI photos check here. I've also added his website to the Player's Links section of the sidebar.


SFLOI CLASSICS-- 9/6/09

While waiting for the weather to warm up, here's a recap of one of last season's most thrilling games.

On September 6, 2009, SFLOI played a day-night quadrupleheader. The 4th and final game went 11 innings. Derek Martinez pitched for the visitors, and Jeff Appell for the home team. The visitors took an early 5-1 lead, but Appell's team scored four 2-out runs in the bottom of the 2nd to tie, highlighted by a Mike Palma 2-run single, and a Don Weiss RBI single on which Marvin Cohen tried to go first-to-third, made it, and then scored on an overthrow.

The pitchers then got down to business, and the game remained tied at 5 until the top of the 9th inning. Martinez's team took a 6-5 lead on a throwing error, but the game was quickly tied again. Marvin came to bat with the bases loaded and no outs, and beat an attempted 5-2-3 DP, and the runner from second alertly scored. Martinez got out of the jam by inducing a 9-2 DP, with Nel Yomtov gunning down the winning run at the plate.

Things got dicier in the 10th, with Martinez needing a rare 4-6-2 DP to escape. Ian Parfrey threw a strike to Josh Balsam to catch Don Weiss trying to score. Weiss's clean, hard slide toppled the catcher, who somehow held the ball. Both players were injured but remained in the game.

In the 11th, Martinez's team loaded the bases with nobody out, but only managed one run, with Martinez's SF to left just barely scoring Yomtov. Martinez held down the fort in the 11th, and came away with a 7-6 win.
