Country Corners came out swinging.
Leading from the first inning, 
Country Corners scored in almost 
every inning while The Cornermen 
shut Juniors Too down. Complete game 
winning pitcher Angelo Sblendorio 
threw a masterful game and even had 
a 1-2-3 inning on less than 5 pitches.
 He helped his own cause with a 
3 run homerun. Angelo was helped out 
by some outstanding infield defense 
and some smart and aggressive 
baserunning hustle.

Country Corners beat Meadowbrook Farms 
today by the score of 28-18. 
Pitcher Angelo Sblendorio kept 
Meadowbrook off of the board for the 
first two innings while the Cornermen 
scored 9 unanswered runs. 
Meadowbrook attempted to come back but 
Country Corners just kept scoring. 
Aided by some great defense, including 
a great catch in right field by 
Donny Black and some great infield plays, 
Country Corners was able to pull off a 
victory and secure first place in the league.

Everyone had at least one hit. Joe Yanarella,

read Vic�s scorebook without the aid 
of the Rosetta Stone.

Let�s put it simply, CC came to play 
hitting wise and we didn�t�.
CC fielded well and we didn�t�.
CC played well overall and didn�t 
allow us back in the game and

As the temperature at Whitesel Field 
reached 96 it turned out that the 
Ploughboys of Meadowbrook withstood 
the heat better than the Smoke Eaters 
of Hook & Ladder. The Laddermen
(there have been objections to calling 
them "The Hookers") were missing 5 players 
and even the capable contributions of 
emergency fill-ins Angelo Sblendoria and 
Jim Guarnaccia weren't enough to overcome 
the missing bats and players forced to 
play out of their regular positions, which 
put extra pressure on pitcher John McGowan, 
who went all the way in the loss.

Notable for H & L:
John Durso 4/4 3B RBI
Victor Quinton 3/4 2 3B, HR, 3 RBI
Big Mac 3/4 2 RBI
Paul Morales 3/4 RBI
Tom Hotailing 2/4 2B 2 RBI
Ralph Bondi 3/4
Joe Wassweiler 2/5
Angelo Sblendoria 1/3 RBI
Jim Guarnaccia 2 RBI

Defensively Joe Wassweiler made an impressive 
sliding catch in LF to nip a rally and 
playing out-of-position at SS Tom Hotailing 
did the same with a tough back hand stop and 
on-time throw to 1B. Doc Ranucci chipped 
in some needed plays from the SF position. 
The Spirit and Hustle Award for the day 
goes to Big Mac McGowan for beating out an 
infield hit on a close play which resulted 
in him taking a hard fall crossing the base. 
He was down for a while but got up, cleaned 
the blood off his arm and finished pitching
the game.
Thanks go to Angelo and Jim for filling 
in and to Bob (Don't call me Dingleman) 
Diggleman and Jack Baxter for giving up their
Bye day off to umpire in the heat.

HOOK&LADER
In a perfect day for softball at Digileo Field
 Hook & Ladder narrowly edged Juniors Too 
by a score of 9-7 to even their record at
2-2 and tie Juniors for 3rd place.

"Team win" is an often used phrase but 
certainly applied here as offensive and 
defensive contributions came from the entire 
lineup. Replacement fill-in and winning 
pitcher Joe DiChiara and the defense held 
Juniors scoreless in 5 of the 8 innings and 
replacement Mike "Brooksie" Brooks played 
outstanding defense at first base, making 
3 difficult scoops on short hop throws. 
coming off the bag for a tag play on a high 
and wide throw, and ranging far into the 
infield for several pop-ups. SS John Finaro 
(returning from Italy) ended the game by 
gunning down rapid John Ostuni on a tough ground ball.
Hits and RBIs were distributed as follows:

with three hits each for Meadowbrook.
COUNTRY CORNERS
Country Corners took a few innings to get 
rolling in this game. Starting and 
winning pitcher, Angelo Sblendorio, 
wove together his own tight defense with 
some clutch "sblendid" pitching to keep 
it close until the Countrymen came up 
with just enough offense and defense to 
put us up over top. The top of the batting 
order set us up and the middle knocked em in. 
John Cacciola, Phil Chontos and Donny Black 
made some great outfield catches.

Joe Yanerella scored the winning run, 
while pinch running in the bottom of the eighth. 
Mark Battistoni 3/3 with 4 rs and an RBI.

Whitesell Field. The game was a tightly 
fought contest of good pitching and good defense
 by both teams, with A & R breaking an 8-8 
tie in the bottom of the 8th with a 3 run HR 
for the walk-off win.

Both teams got off to a good start with the 
score 5-4 for H & L after 1 inning but the 
Laddermen could only put up another 3, and 
A & R another 4 until the home 8th.
Big John McGowan went the distance to take 
the tough loss despite holding A & R scoreless 
in 4 innings. Helping out on defense were

at the fence and later an assist to nip a runner 
at 3B from deep RC , Paul Morales started an 
important DP with a nice stop at 3B to curb a 
rally, Joe Wassweiler had a tough catch up against 
the fence to end a threat, and Big Mac somehow 
speared a laser right at him to finish another one.

HOOK&LADDER
 
 Hook and Ladder defeated A& R Security at Digilio 
Field by a score of 22-13 in one of their 
best overall performances so far. 
Both the offense and defense seem to have 
been invigorated by line-up and positioning 
adjustments suggested by Manager Emeritus and 
resident behind the scenes guru Jack Hale. 
The offense was explosive and more consistent 
and the defense (especially the infield), 
while already good, turned things up a notch.

Big John McGowan went the distance on the mound 
for the win. Hitting support came from the 
entire line up but Vic Quinton took honors 
with 3/4, 2 2B, HR, and 6 RBI. 
According to a witness in the parking lot he 
actually hit 2 homers, with the 2nd going 
over the Digilio fence in LC (334 ft) but 
due to confusion as to whether it bounced 
over he was only credited with a double 
and 1 RBI.
Other contributors were: 
John Durso 4/4, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI 
Mac McGowan 4/4 2 RBI 
Ralph Bondi 3/3 2B, RBI

Tom Mirande 2/4 and

heads up running.
Defense was solid all around but Emil Viola stood 
out at SF and Vic Quinton again showed his rifle
arm from RC, cutting down a fast runner at 3B to 
end an inning.The Laddermen are now above .500 at 4-3

COUNTRY CORNERS(14) vs MEADOWBROOK(17)

COUNTRY CORNERS
 
 Country Corners and Meadowbrook met at Whitesell 
today in a battle for first place, separated by 
only one half game. The lead changed hands 
several times. Joe Yanerella started us off with 
a triple, Mark Battistoni knocked him in and we 
were off to the races. Tied at 10 after the fifth 
inning, it came down to the final 3 innings to separate 
the two powerhouses. Bob Diggelmann hit a fence clearing 
bases empty homerun into the parking lot, in the 
sixth inning, and the Country Men scored 3 two out runs. 
It looked like victory was in our grasp but alas it 
just wasn�t to be. Down by 4 going into the top of the 
eighth, CC was only able to score 1 and so at least 
for now, the lead has changed hands.

Offensive stats for Country Corners:
Joe Yanerella 4/4 with a triple
Mark Battistoni 4/4
Bob Diggelmann 3/4 with a home run and a triple.
Pete Longobardi, John Cacciola, Donny Black and

  On an overcast day at Digilio Field 
the haze in the air wasn't from Canadian

Meadowbrook handed to H & L.

Meadowbrook scored early and often, 
scoring 13 in the first 3 innings

H & L could never get an offense going 
while missing 4 players, but fill-ins

drove in 3 of the teams total of 9 to make 
up for it. Digilio factored in, as 
Laddermen batters hit some deep shots 
that might have left other fields that 
the deep playing Farmboys outfield made 
into long outs.

  It was not exactly prime field conditions at 
Whitesell today, as we took the field but 
with 2 makeups already on the schedule, 
we persevered. Hook and Ladder jumped out 
to a one run lead with a leadoff home run. 
But then Country Corners defense and solid 
pitching by Angelo Sblendorio sat the Fireman 
down and the Cornermen immediately came back 
with 2 of their own. And then 5 and then 2 more. 
It looked like a runaway until the Cornerman 
stalled while the Firemen rang up 5 of their 
own in the top of the fifth inning to close 
the gap to 9-8. Again Angelo and the defense 
tightened up, with the help of a few double 
plays, and scored 7 more runs in their last 
3 at bats while only giving up 1 more run.

Offensive stars for Country Corners:
Joe Yanerella a homerun an RBI and 2 RS

 The weather was good but the day was bleak 
at Whitesell as Hook & Ladder fell to 
Country Corner by a score of 16-9. 
H & L couldn't get their bats going 
and the normally solid defense turned
a bit leaky at times. 
After 3 innings it was 9-1, and although 
a 5 run H & L outburst in the 5 
narrowed it to 9-8 the Laddermen could 
only tally1 more while the 
country cousins put up 7.

Big John McGowan went the distance on 
the mound to take the loss, 
although he didn't get much support.

second and then went work in their half, 
scoring their first 3 runs. 
Pitching another gem, Angelo Sblendorio , 
backed by some fantastic defense, only gave 
up 1 run in the fourth and then 3 in the 
sixth, while The Cornermen scored in 
almost every inning. Joe Yanerello made a 
Jeteresque catch of a line drive at deep 
short and threw the ball to first that almost 
doubled off the runner, while in the air. 
You should have seen it! And Phil Chontos
made a rolling around circus catch of a 
fly ball, in right center, 
that was the envy of all.

Hitting stars for Country Corners:
Angelo Sblendorio 4/4 a double and a RS.
Peter Longobardi 3/3 with a walk and 2 RS.
Bob Diggelmann 3/4 with 3 doubles 3 RS 
and I�m sure a bunch of RBI�s.
Joe Yanerello, Mark Battistoni, John Cacciola, 
Phil Chontos, Donny Black and 
Bob LaRagina all had 2 hits.
