Dont even know where to begin or end. Heavyweight fight with both teams taking punch after punch and still standing tall. Both teams walking away with the feeling of that was the best baseball game they have ever played in. More web gems to save runs or prevent something from starting than has been seen all year. Wish everyone could of been there to witness the two best teams in the YBL go at it in game four. Web Gem plays made by E. Tardugno, Brown, Scioli, Driscoll. Great pitching and getting out of crazy jams by Dicato, Shanahan, Babb, Wisner, and Foundas. This game had it all. Dziuba with big hits as he has been clutch all post season. Mendonca starting a rally after being robbed by E. Tardugno. Foundas moves to 4-0 on the post season and 12-2 on the year. Game 5 at Trum Field Tuesday night at 8PM. Somerville leads series 3-1.

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.

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.

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
