ABC Rental "Dodgers"
We had our final game this week. Nicholas Capelle, Scott Schanter, Peter Vayias and Lawrence Lin all are turning into solid hitters. Christopher Bruccoleri, Matthew Rivera and Joseph Griffin look like some of the better all around players in the league. Francesco Stigliano, Bailey Lee, Christian Vicente and Nicholas Ryan all showed great improvement in all categories. Finally, William Birkdale showed the true spirit of sport by coming to the game despite being unable to play.

Boys Majors (Playoffs)
ABC Rental River "Sharks" (13)
Vs. Stutzmann Funeral Home "Bears" (2)
This tight game for the championship between the River Sharks and the Bears was broken up in the 4th inning. Great pitching by Vinny and Sam and great throws by catcher Aaron held the Bears to just 2 runs. In the fourth, Stephen doubled and Aaron turned a sacrifice bunt into a base hit. With men on first and third, Vinny hit a shot that is still traveling, to break open the game. Stephen came in to pitch and shut down the Bears' offense for the last two innings. This River Sharks team lost five of its first six games but stuck together and worked hard to go on and win the Majors championship. Many thanks, to Coach Brian and Coach Glenn for their hard work. Congratulations go out to all the River Sharks, Denes, Ben, Vinny, Aaron, Stephen, Josh, Sam, Harrison, Belvin, Ralph, Joe, & Dylan. You are the 2007 Merillon Majors Division Champions.
