Season Games 39,40 8-21-05
At the bottom of the 5th and down 10-7 I asked Hewes to close out the game.
Thinking of Hamlet as he is about to duel Laertes"your skill shall,like a star
in the darkest night"But the star was not visible until game 2 and after Hewes
got the 1st out and then walked 4 batters in the row I knew it was a bad idea.
Home team scored 4 in the 1st amd 5 in the 2nd to lead 9-0.Highlights were
adouble after 3 consecutive singles in the 1st and 3 rbi triple by Gabe hernandez
in the 2nd.Visitors got 5 in the 3rd by walk, singles and 2 run homer by Santana.

April 10th,2005:Three games were played Season games 3,4,5.In game one it was Appell pitching for the
visitors and Schmerler for the Home team.Appell won 4-1.Appell pitched agreat game giving up 5 hits and
walked none.He pitched 6 shutout innings after giving up  1 run in the 1st.Schmerler was hit hard giving up
12 hits .Kravitz homered in the 3rd and 3 singles followed in that 2 run 3rd.Appell scattered 3 hits in 6 innings
after he gave up 2 hits in the 1st
Game 2; Teams stayed the same for most part and the losers in game 1 were the home team again and they
did better against Jim O'Connor scoring 6 runs all earned in Connor's 5 innings of work. Hewes won his 2nd
game of the season going the distance with the score 8-5.Appell in a relief  role gave up 2 insurance runs as
the visitors scratched back to close 6-5 mid 6th.
Game 3: Anthony Connor pitched a 5 hit shutout as his visitors beat Hewes Home team 7-0.Hewes was pounded
in the top of the 3rd  giving up 6 hits including 2 Homers by Alex Rivera and Maye.Schmerler led off the 3rd with a
single,Palma singled and Alex rivera hit a 3 run homer. Soulyman singled,Mentor singled and Maye hit a 3 run homer.Connor's players were made  up the Riverdale  players and hewes team was SFTLOI players .
Recap: it was agreat day for softball ,more like a may day not early April.Game 1  had 29 players,game 2 had
27 players and game 3 had 22 players.We did not play in our assigned field we played in the field that has aslight
slope from the mound to the plate and in my opinion a pitchers field;the batters have to hit with an uphill
not even perception and the outfield is vast. On a persona; note;I am on a DL after a bicycle accident 3/30/05.
