Five Palmer pitchers, in a final tune-up for the playoffs, held Towne to five hits while their potent offense finally chipped away at hard-luck hurler Adam Merzel (one earned run), making his first park League start. The loss dropped Towne back under .500 for the year (15-16-1) - still very respectable considering their 1-8 start.

Towne, behind Scott Hampe's pitching and shortstop Joe McCabe's turning four double plays, put a serious crimp in Cannon's playoff hopes by dropping them 1/2 game behind the Padres in Cannon's final game. Towne had a two-out RBi single from Wayne Duggan in the first and a two-out RBI triple from Pete Pasciucco in the fifth and also scored twice in the second when Brendan O'Connor issued five base on balls. Hampe threw shutout ball for 6 2/3 but Cannon made one final push with two out, nobody on as Jay Kiley, Pat Moore (RBI single) and Tony Iacopucci (RBI single) all reached after having two strikes on them.

Jim Klocek stopped ADSL on three hits to even up his record at 3-3 and blasted a two-run triple to center field to knock in the winning runs as Towne, who started their season at 1-8, moved to within one game of .500 for only the second time this season. Paul Bonfiglio, just inserted defensively in right field, single-handedly snuffed out ADSL's last rally after they had put the first two runners on in the 5th. First he tracked down a deep line drive. Then he caught a short fly, and he ended the threat and saved two runs by racing into right center and making a lunging, tumbling snare of a line drive to end the inning. Jake Bartlett was the hard luck loser allowing only four hits - two by Joe McCabe, who had an RBI single and scored another.

Tim Reinhardt doubled home two runs in the 4th following a Michael Stefaniak bunt to load the bases, and Hampe, assisted by his teammates' errorless ball in wet conditions, made it stand up. Devin Barry and Coley Lyons knocked in the Stockyard runs. Justin Flanagan stranded 10 Towne runners, but took the tough complete game loss.

A rejuvenated Towne offense rattled around 13 hits for the second straight game with the two bigs hits both by Pete Pasciucco who drilled a two-out, two-run double in the first and a two-run triple in the fifth to break the game open. Joe McCabe, playing a great defensive shortstop these days, also smacked a single and an RBI double to go with two walks. Wayne Duggan went 2 for 3 with 2 RBI; Bill Andruskevich stroked two key singles; and Adam Merzel got his first two Park League hits along with executing a perfect sacrifice bunt. Franz Strassmann knocked in the sole Envelope with a single, one of only two hits allowed by Jim Klocek, who went the distance giving up no earned runs.

Resuming action on July 20, after prevailing on a protest, Towne struck for a walk-off victory as Tim Reinhardt (double) and Don Ferbert (hit batsman) led off the bottom of the 7th and both raced home on an almost identical error as on the play that had sparked the protest nine days earlier. Dan Merzel had three hits and three stolen bases (of six by Towne). Jim Klocek picked up the win with 4 2/3 innings of one-hit relief, taking over when play resumed, and perfectly executed a key sacrifice bunt in the winning rally.
