Somerville Alibrandis 6, AlThomas Athletics 5
Al Thomas takes an early lead off of Dick Dumas. The lineup battled back with a big 4 run inning in the 4th as Jay Wisner took the ball. Wisner was as good as he could be stepping up for Somerville. Pitched the final 4 innings allowing only 1 run on 3 hits. Al Thomas threatened in the bottom of the seventh as Kostas singled to right and advanced to second on an over throw trying to get him at first. Chris McDonough bunted him over to third. Somerville intentionally walked Wheeler to set up a double play. Wisner then threw a 6-4-3 to end the series.
Hats off to a tough Al Thomas team. They battled all series and played hard.
MVP of the series was the Alibrandi in each and every Somerville player as it took 3 great pitching performances and all 9 to step up at different times to win each game.
Somerville advances to the YBL championship series that is projected to start Monday night. |

| Foundas vs. McDougall. Both pitched exceptional allowing only 2 hits a piece. Somerville 2 run inning came from a big leadoff walk by Hadfield, a sac bunt attempt by Maguire that was thrown into center leaving runners on 2nd and 3rd, Sac fly by Driscoll, and with the infield in Scioli hits a ball up the middle that Kostas makes a web gem diving play and throws Scioli out at first plating the second run. Foundas struck out 8 and put Somerville up in the series 2-0. |

| Great game at Trum tonight as two very good teams went at it. Sullivan vs. Bresnahan on the mound. Both pitched exceptional. Breshahan allowed only two hits until the 6th where Somerville had 3 runs on 3 hits. Clutch hits by Dziuba and Babb driving in one a piece and a big AB by Maguire with the bases loaded to draw a walk to get the third run and that proved to be all Sullivan needed. Game two at Trum Wednesday night at 8PM. |

AlThomas Athletics 1, McKay Club Beacons 0
The Al Thomas Club stunned the nation with an improbable upset of the number-one-seed McKay Club Beacons in the first round of the YBL playoffs. All four games were decided by two runs or less, capped by a dynamic 1-0 victory for the A's in Game Four to clinch the series.
Wiley veteran Bill Clang toed the rubber against impressive rookie Tom Fitzpatrick, and the two did not disappoint the fans. Fitzpatrick allowed only 3 singles in shutting down the A's offense, yielding only a fateful rbi single to Chris McDonough in the 5th inning for the only run of the game.
Clang was a strike-throwing machine and held the powerful McKay lineup to five hits, walking nobody and striking out nine. For the series, Clang recorded two wins and a save, despite being mocked repeatedly and irrationally by one embarrassing spectator.
Bill Donahue and Peder von Harten had the other Al Thomas hits, while Mike Niland walked and scored the only run of |

Another tight battle between two tough division rivals was decided in the last inning as the Al Thomas Club broke a 1-1 deadlock with 3 runs in the top of the 7th to squeak by the McKay Club 4-2 at McConnell Park.
Veteran Mike Barthel of the Beacons locked horns with Al Thomas rookie Kevin Zyrkowski in a great pitching duel that saw the teams knotted at 1-1 through 6 innings.
Rob Lerro put the McKay Club up 1-0 with a base hit that drove in Drew Tambling in the first inning. The game stayed that score until the 4th, when Brendan Wheeler roped a tripled and scored on Bill Donahue's single inside the first base line.
The teams traded solid defense for the next few innings, including a pair of doubleplays by the stingy McKay infield. The A's plated 3 runs in the top of the 7th on base hits by Kostas, Niland and Luciani, and a bomb sac fly by Steve Lambert.

Matt McDougall shut down the McKay Club for 5 innings, while the A's took a 5-0 lead on rbi singles by Bill Donahue, Aidan Powers, Koury Hajjar and Steve Lambert, as well as a sac fly by Hajjar.
True to McKay fashion, they would not die and they woke up for 7 runs in the 6th inning on some walks, hit batsemen, a costly error and base hits by Rob Lerro (triple), Dylan Perez, Drew Tambling and Jack Owens (double).
Not to be outdone, the Al Thomas Club took those knockout punches but refused to hit the mat. With one out in the top of the 7th, Chris McDonough tripled to right center. Brendan Wheeler walked and Bill Donahue boomed a double to center, plating McDonough. John Kostas fell behind in the count, but worked a good at bat and roped a fly to right for a sac fly to tie the game. Aid |
