Practice April 14, 2007 Kress Field 9am

Solid pitching by Patrick Kenney and Jackson Hartwell. Clutch hitting by Matthew Heffernan and Jake Noorfdzij started the hot hitting Dunkin Donut's bats. Solid team effort

What a well played game played by two good teams looking for their first win despite the lopsided score. N'tierty's Luke McInnis hooked up with George Reader to make a picture perfect throw to the plate to rob Allied of their first run. Allied's Stephen Townsend towered a huge triple in the second. Despite good pitching by N'tierty, Allied's bats came alive. Rich McGinn and his coaches should be commended for giving everyone a shot in the infield and pitching and really mixing it up regardless of winning or losing which is what the league should be all about. Pitchers for Allied: Finn Powell (62) and Sam Sullivan (32). For N'tierty: Leary (48) Chris Flanders (54) and George Reader (31). Great game for a great group of kids for both sides.

Good pitching and fielding continued for Turner against an improving N'tierty team. Reese Linton (54 pitches), Jack Costello (27 pitches) and Frankie Vadaro (18 pitches) took to the mound for Turner. Turner broke it loose with six runs in the thrid and consistent hitting: O'Connor, Cassino (3 hits), Linton (2 hits), Turner (a triple and HR), Chase (3 hits), Costello (2 hits), Chakalis, Vadaro (2 hits), Reese and Kaulins. N'tierty held the game close early behind Dillan Leary (71 pitches). Strong pitching perfomance also by N'tierty's George Reader (39 pitches) to close the game out.

Don't be fooled by the score. The Old Derby Dirt Dogs and N'tirety engaged in a tough battle early Saturday morning. Teamwork was the key to Old Derby's victory, with Will Pelissier, Grant Juric and Jack Murphy combining for a no-hitter and striking out 12 over 4 innings. On offense, the Dogs were led by Owen Pelissier (2 hits including a bases loaded double) and Mats Thureson (double and 3 rbis). N'tirety pitchers Luke McInnis and Chris Flanders did a great job striking out 4 Dirt Dogs. Fireballer McInnins also turned in the web gem of the day, turning Sam Jenkins' bases loaded line drive sure thing extra base hit into the third out of the first inning.

This game was closer than the score indicates. The Senators got off to a 4-0 lead behind pitchers Drew Rowland and Andrew Spaziani. First time pitcher Pete Ross pitched three strong innings for N'tierty striking out 5. N'tierty mustered a come back in the third by batting through the order while the Senators scored behind the bats of Joe Lastoria and John Stanley and a base clearing double by Ryan McAuliffe. N'tierty's Mathew Partyka and Cameron Taylor and the Senator's John Lastoria came on in relief and all did an excellent job in their pitching debuts. Pitch count: Spaziani 16, Rowland 12, Kelley 76, Lastoria 8, Ross 75, Partyka and Taylor.

Max details to follow.

The bats, gloves and mosquitos came out last night at Kress for a great game with lots of individual highlights for both teams. Natale's had only 9 players but everyone contributed including when Eddie B robbed Matt Partyka of a line shot to the deep outfield which surely would have been an inside the park HR. Pete Ross had outstanding defensive including an unassisted double play to kill one of Natale's rallies. Zach Silva pitched the entire game (4 innings). Biggest hit of the year for Nick Varitek Iaria with a 2 rbi single and Brendan Lahiff reached safely in all four at bats. Congrats to both teams on a hard fought Friday night battle.

Bradley brought thier bats... Highlights were Austin Schlib with 2 triples and a single, Matt Personeni with a single, double and a triple, Joe Garrity with a "in the parker", and Perry McCarthy reaching the bases 3 times. For N'tierty, Chris Flanders (23) had a nice single as well as a stong inning on the mound. Leary (68) and Taylor (28) pitched well also.
Shea (56) and Personeni (13) pitched for Bradley.

The bats came alive on a warm and sunny day at Hersey. In what many observers called the most exciting game of the year for either team, the Dirt Dogs of Old Derby came back from 11 runs down to defeat a spirited N'Tierty team. N'Tierty Manager Rich McGinn had his team up for the game as they brought nine runs across in the 2d inning aided by key hits by McGinn, Taylor, Johnson, and a basesloaded double by David Leen. Only a sparkling defensive play by third baseman Owen Kane could stem the tide. Matthew Partyka, Peter Ross and George Reader did a great job pitching against an Old Derby lineup that was as hot as the day. N'Tierty fought a valiant fight that in the end fell just a little short.

Today was Old Derby's day. Every member of the lineup reached base at least once, led by Owen Kane with 2 home runs, 3 hits and 6 rbis, Grant Juric and Sam Jenkins (3 hits each) and Pat Kane (a bases loaded double that sparked the Dirt Dogs comeback). Jack Murphy got the win, striking out five of the last six batters he faced. Sam Jenkins, Trevor Bates and Owen Pelissier (in his longest appearance this season) did a great job against the tough N'Tierty squad.

Nice last-game win for Team Reebok over N'tierty to finish the schedule. 3 hits from Drew Longo and 2 apiece from Chad Pires, Joe Lindsay, and Will Jones led the offense, with great pitching from Brett Tivnan (55) and Joe Lindsay (67) kept N'tierty off-balance. N'tierty played hard, with Cam Taylor (59) and George Reader (69) pitching well. Coach Rich Mcginn and his staff do a great job with their team.

Consistent pitching by both teams - lead by Dylan Leary of N'Tierty and Colin Flibotte of Carousel Academy kept the game close for the first 4 innings. Then the bats of CA began to go to work - great in the park grand slam by Colin Flibotte! Unbelievable backup play on shortstop by Patrick McG to get a long out at first.
