Vietri Associates Cubs

Vs. Bagels N A Whole Lot More Twins

The Cubs kicked off their fall season on Saturday September 11, 2004 on a beautiful day at Merillon fields. Prior to the game all the teams paused for a moment of silence in memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11/01. The Cubs played a spirited Twins team and the game featured good fielding and hitting by both teams. The Cubs were lead by the solid fielding of James Messina, Jared Diamond, Antonio Prunella and Chris Vietri. The hitting stars included, Chris Rodriguez with two hits, Patrick McMahon with three hits, Jacob Seidenberg with two hits and Francesco Labita with two hits. A good start to the season for the Cubs who pounded out 14 runs on a day we also remember the pure joy of kids playing baseball.

The New Hyde Park Funeral Home Yankees

Vs. ABC Rental Red Sox

After a moment of silence in remembrance of 9/11, the Yankees and Red Sox faced each other in a September classic. Despite the history between the two teams the game was a gem. The Yankees came out hitting and never stopped. Their pitching was steady and almost seamed mechanical. The offense was led by the hard hitting of James Cotumaccio (4 Hits), which earned him the game ball, Ben Lee (5 Hits) Tyler Carrick (4 hits, 2 Triples) Peter Dunn (4 Hits) and Joey Richards (5 Hits). The defense also performed well, holding the mighty Red Sox offense to a minimum. Justin Diamond made several catches both in right field and second base. Nicholas Winkhart (1B), Peter Ferrante(2B), Brandan Abrams(3B) each played solid in the field. Kenny Nygard did a great job behind the plate. It was a team effort and the coaching staff is looking forward to a great fall season. Here come the YANKEES!

Down 7-2 in the fourth inning, the Indians exploded for 4 runs, then added 3 more in the fifth inning to take a short-lived lead.

Charlie Browns Steakhouse Road Warriors (5)

Vs. Massapequa Coast (6)

The Warriors lost a heartbreaker to Mass. Coast yesterday despite a fine pitching performance by both Michael Robert Lewis & David Luchino. The 1 bad inning flu once again rose it's ugly head when in the 3rd inning to costly errors and good base running by Mass. Coast plated them 6 runs to over come a Warrior 5-0 lead. After that inning both teams were held scoreless. Louis Simione wielding a hot bat led the Warriors going 2 for 2 with 1 run scored, 2 SB & 2 RBI. David Luchino reached on a walk, stole 2nd, moved to 3rd on a ground out an scored on Louis 2 RBI single. Anthony Grimaldi (3 SB) and Patrick Nicolello (2 SB) also turned walks into a runs with good speed on the bases. Solid defense was supplied by Christian Theodoropoulos, Danny Spratt, Patrick McGonigle, David Resnick, Nicky Tornatore & Jordan Buff. Captain Matt Dillon was super behind the plate and was instrumental on a force-out at home and throwing out to would be base stealers. Matt also had a RBI single in the 1st inning. Johnny Mahon played flawless defense and turned his single into a run by stealing 2nd. moving to 3rd on an out and scoring on a error. Good all around game by both teams. Go Warriors!
