Lyp as he attempted to score. The next batter flied out to Malfetti and the scoring threat was squashed.

Antone’s hopes and dreams of a come back were shattered when Comcast bellowed with seven runs in the fifth. Canales cracked a single to

right, Frank D’Amato reached base on an error, then Carlo Melia whacked an RBI single to left. Virgilio sizzled an RBI single to left and Lehman followed with a single. Ron Torsiello tapped a two-RBI single to center, then Malfetti hammered his three-run homer to a faraway nook in left field.

With two outs in the top of the sixth, Matten drilled a liner off the center fielder’s glove and scored when the ball continued to roll toward the trees, but one run was all that Antone’s could stir up.

Leading 14-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Comcast decided to close down Antone’s as soon as possible. DiMartino reached first base on an error, Spanier slashed his third single and Stumpf walked to load the bases. DiMartino scored when Canales hit into a fielder’s choice, Mel Coren ripped an RBI single to left, then D’Amato ended the game by virtue of a 15-run rule by crashing an RBI double into two colliding outfielders.

Comcast Cablevision elevated its record to 19-5 and claimed first place while Antone’s Pub & Grill slipped into second place at 18-5.

sharper with his pitching control in the later innings and the St. Joseph defense began to hone its skills. Vanderheyden got the only single for St. Louis in the fourth. After Nate Mangiris and Bill Hicks drew walks and Cardinale lined out to Semple in the fifth, St. Joseph pulled off a sterling third-to-first double play initiated by third baseman Varsolona.

In the meantime, St. Joseph posed a threat in its half of the fifth. Karl Mende mashed a one-out single to left and Dean Talcott followed with another single to left. Now, St. Louis third baseman John Chupko pulled off a stellar defensive play of his own. Varsolona steamed a grounder toward third, Chupko adroitly angled toward third, snagged the ball, stepped on third for the force out and whipped the ball to second for the third out.

Reimers led off the bottom of the sixth with what appeared to be a routine single. The ball eluded the center fielder and rolled toward the fence. Noticing the incident, Reimers rolled around second and third, then scored to put St. Louis in the lead, 4

3. After committing another error and allowing a single to Lillis, the St. Joseph defense got back on track and retired the side.

With its final chance staring in St. Joseph’s face, opportunity became visible and St. Joseph capitalized on it in the top of the seventh. Krajcsik whizzed a leadoff single to center, then Straniero blasted a ground-rule double which hopped over the right field fence. Rothenberg sacrificed Krajcsik home and Semple sacrificed Straniero home with the goahead run.

St. Louis now faced its final opportunity and began the inning successfully. Vanderheyden chopped an infield single to short and Mirto deflected the ball off the second baseman’s glove to reach base safely. With two men on and no one out, St. Joseph was looking at a dismal situation; but, they kept the faith. Mangiris popped out to the pitcher, Cardinale flew out to center and Hicks hopped out to the pitcher to end the game.

single to right. Bob Simon tied the score when he slashed an RBI single up-the-middle. Bill Streep strutted confidently to the batter’s box and launched a threerun homer into Old Stars’ deep space. Later, with Kaufman on first, Deutsch dumped an RBI triple over the left fielder’s head. Weinberg wiggled an RBI single past third, then Rosenberg walloped a two-run homer to the outer limits of the Old Stars’ domain. Club 40 concluded its scoring for the inning when Owen Drapkin singled and Gincel hooked an RBI single.

Realizing the massive infringement and having experienced assaults of that sort in past games, the Old Stars had the wisdom to know that patience could pull them through the peril. In the top of the fifth, Rick Wolf yanked a single to left, Brachman bashed a single to center, then Weiner whizzed a two-RBI single past short. Baumgartner slammed a two-run homer to remote left field, Rosen slapped his third hit of the game and St. Lifer singled Rosen home to give the Old Stars five runs in the inning.

With the score now 13-10, Club 40 wasn’t quite as relaxed as before. Stuart nervously dribbled a 20-foot single toward third, Kaufman snaked a single by second and Weinberg poked an RBI single to left.

Mark Schweitzer singled in the top of the sixth but the Old Stars failed to score. Club 40 added a run, making the score 15-10, in the lower half of the inning when Rosenberg doubled, then scored on Gincel’s single to center.

The time was now and the Stars were in proper alignment to deal

Club 40 its unfortunate fate. Brachman bopped his fourth single of the game, Darren Drapkin deflected the ball off the second baseman’s glove and Harry Semple drew an intentional walk to load the bases. Weiner walked to allow Brachman to score and Baumgartner brought Drapkin home with a sacrifice fly to center. Rosen looped an RBI single to right-center and St. Lifer tied the score with a two-RBI triple to right. Kerstein dug in at the plate an crashed his two-run homer to faraway left-center to give the Old Stars a 17-15 lead.

Club 40 was blinded by the brilliance of the Old Stars and managed to grab only a single from Fuchman in the bottom of the seventh. Once again, the Old Stars remained the masters of their solar system.

Beats Mattress Factory, 5-2 By MICHAEL P. BABIK

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader and The Times

From the beginning, you knew something was different. The bleachers were full, two umpires called the game instead of one and there was little joking around on the bench. Wives cheered, mothers sighed and children stared blankly. These were the finals of the Westfield Men’s Softball League, the culmination of several months of hard work and fun, where the boys of summer would become the men of autumn.

Chaos and the Mattress Factory came together to play game one in the best of five on August 3 at Tamaques Park. Tension was in the air.

Good defense by Chaos brought the bouncing Factory to a halt in the top of the first. Kevin Zippler, Mike Verano, and Clint Factor each hit fly balls to center field to retire the side, one-twothree. Chaos responded with singles by Frank Seculic and Matt Costello. Steve Kamins ripped a sacrifice fly to left field bringing in Seculic and giving Chaos a one run lead.

In the top of the second, Tim Walsh walked for Mattress Factory and made his way to third on a sacrifice fly by Ron

Shovlin. Walsh, however, was stranded on base, when the side was retired by a fly ball to left field by Gino Mirabella.

Later in the second, Chaos looked to rally for more runs, but were unable to do so. Bill Harcourt flew out to center, Scott Rossi drilled a line drive right to Factory first baseman, Shovlin to record the second out, and Ron Greenburg hit a high pop up to center to quickly retire the side.

In the third, short stop, Gary Nicorak singled for the factory. Quick hitting third baseman Zippler drilled a high fly triple, allowing Nicorak to score, tying the score. A walk by Verano, looked to provide another scoring opportunity for Mattress, but the inning came to a close leaving two men on base.

Chaos, exploded in the third, with singles by Jim McKeon, Al Rabinowitz and Suculic. A single by Costello brought in McKeon and a solid hit by Kamins allowed Rabinowitz, Seculic, and Costello to score. Kamins, trying to take second, was tagged out to retire the side, but not before Chaos had reeked havoc on the Factory, setting the score at 5-1.

The Factory people tried to stage a comeback in the fourth but were smacked hard by the strong Chaotic defense. Perotta drove the ball right to the first baseman. Walsh popped an impressive shot to left field, which was snagged by Chaos left fielder Chuck Harcourt in a diving catch — the play of the game. Mirabella flew to center to retire the side, scoreless.

In the bottom of the fourth, Chaos third baseman, Bill Harcourt singled, a sacrifice fly by Scott Rossi brought Harcourt to second and Greenburg walked. Good defensive work on the part of Mattress Factory helped avoid a potentially dangerous Chaos rally with two runs in scoring position as Greenburg was tagged out at second to retire the side.

Mattress Factory struggled to put some runs on the board in the fifth with singles by Mirabella and Chris Masterson. With the bases loaded, Verano popped out to center field and the Factory would come the closest they would all evening to a scoring rally.

Over the yells of playing children and the panting of passing runners, the game moved on into the sixth inning where the Factory came up with an additional run, courtesy of Factor, who singled, and was later driven in by a sacrifice fly off the bat of Shovlin.

The Factory, however, would not find any more runs in the seventh and ended the game with three fly outs and a final score of 5-2.

C & C Landscaping Mows Down Flannigans, 17-8 By MICHAEL P. BABIK

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader and The Times

Scotch Plains B-Division leader C & C Landscaping took to the field, in softball on August 5 against a Flannigans squad at Brookside Park.

From the beginning, the C & C machine controlled the game. Although Flannigan second baseman Ron Blake made it to third on a walk by Kevin Blake, a well executed play — courtesy of C & C pitcher Eric Berger — helped to bring the side quickly to a close.

Later in the first, with two outs, C & C’s Vin Rappa slapped a line drive double. Mike Quick singled and Rich Johns singled to bring home Rappa. A well hit double by Paul Gosdick brought in Johns. Vito Castaldo’s walk and a single by Tom Bruemmer allowed another run to score and gave C & C a fourrun edge after only one inning of play.

Flannigans came back strongly in the second, scoring two runs thanks to Mike Riley and Paul Mikla, both of whom singled. Dennis Baucom, the pitcher, had a triple but was left on third after Ed Blake hit into a 1-3 play to retire the side.

In the bottom of the third, C & C hitting blew the unsuspecting Flannigans out of the water. Joe Kilburg, Rappa, and Quick all singled to lead off the inning. All three scored thanks to a sacrifice fly by Johns and a walk by Gosdick. Both Gosdick and Castillo would score before the inning ended as catcher Eric Berger was picked off at second giving C & C a 92 lead.

Flannigans were hard pressed for runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Kevin Mason was thrown out at first, Paul Mikla popped up to the short stop and Baucom flew out to retire the side. Then, in the fifth, three Flannigan players were retired in a row, the last two thanks to good fielding by third baseman Johns.

C & C exploded again in the bottom of the fifth. Kilburg and Rappa singled and were hit home by two more singles courtesy of Gosdick and Castaldo. A walk and good base running brought them in, too, and brought C & C’s lead to 11 runs.

Flannigans, not about to give up came into the sixth strong and ready to fight. Singles by Joe Parise, Ron Blake, Kevin Blake, Mike Knoblach, and Kevin Mason amounted to four runs, giving C &C a 13-7 edge after six and a half innings of play.

Whatever Flannigans had gained in the sixth was lost in the seventh to the landscaping crew. Rappa, leading off, singled and Quick slammed a double. Another double by Johns was good for two RBI, bringing in Rappa and Quick. A bad throw to third turned a regular hit by Castaldo into a triple, bringing in Johns and Gosdick, to end a four run rally.

In the eighth, Knobloch hit a solo home run, giving Flannigans another run. The next three batters, however, were unable to get on base. The game ended as Ed Blake, who singled, was tagged out on the way to second, with a final score 17-8.
