On the night, Jerry Mazza went five-for-five with three RBIs. Hernandez had four hits and a pair of RBIs. Graham had three hits and five RBIs as ZP finally found its hitting shoes.
Pete Mendelson, Fischer and Vinny Foppiano had three hits while John DeFalco and D’Amico rounded out the attack with two hits each. Fischer got the win filling in with LaCorte’s Family Auto Repair defeated McCourt and Trudden Funeral Home 22-12.
LaCorte had a barrage of hits with Joe Dileo blasting two homeruns and Vinny Inzirillo also had a great night, five-for-six with two doubles. Keith Burtis supplied stellar pitching while Tony LaCorte had a great night of hits and didn’t strike out this week. The team really pulled together with a great night of hitting and fielding.
