It was open mic night at Town Field tonight, and Palmer brought the noise, winning a great pitching match-up that saw Trafecanty out-duel Desai. Trafecanty went 6 and 1/3 and allowed just 3 singles to pick up the W. Desai threw well for ADSL, going the distance and allowing just 5 hits in the contest. But unlike Game 1, Palmer received clutch hitting with runners on base to scratch 4 across on the tough lefty. The Palmer offense was carried by Dorian Rojas (2-3, RBI) and Marvin Malaret (1-2, 2 RBI) early, and Jim Pierce drove home an insurance run in the 7th. Rojas led off the 4th with a bomb to left that went for a double. Malaret then launched a scud missile over the right center field wall to break a scoreless tie that put Palmer up 2-0. Palmer added a run in the 6th when Phelan reached on an infield single, stole 2nd, and scored on Rojas' 2nd hit after a lengthy at-bat resulting in a clean line drive to left center.

The first inning saw two of the three total runs in the game come across the plate, led by a leadoff triple by John Arens under the diving attempt of Chris Curran in centerfield. Josh Ellis drove in the first run of the game on a deep sac fly for ADSL. Palmer answered immediately in the bottom of the inning on Jim Pierce's double to right field scoring Curran who led off with a single and stolen base. In the 3rd, ADSL scored again, with what ended up as the deciding run on Jared Blandino's single and stolen base, setting up a two-out RBI single by Frankie Tierney to give ADSL the 2-1 lead. Both pitcher's settled in and did not allow a run the rest of the game. Palmer threatened in the 7th with the bases loaded and two-out but Desai escaped by retiring Palmer on a ground out to SS to end the game.

The Palmer alumni came down to Kelly field Monday night with brooms in hand, and a trending Tony Trafecanty didn't disappoint. Trafecanty saved his best performance of the year for the closeout game of the series. Tony went the distance for Palmer, throwing darts all night while limiting a solid hitting Towne Club to just 2 hits in the contest. Bobby Foote used the big stage to showcase his talents and impress the dozens of onlookers with his Swiss Army tool kit. Foote went 1-2 with 3 RBIs and a BB on the night, showed off his baseball IQ with a delayed steal in the 2nd, and made a knee-skinning catch in left in the 5th, proving to his teammates he's willing to lay it all on the line for a chance at a 'ship. Foote capped off a 5-run 3rd inning for Palmer by launching a homer down the right field line that tore the chlorophyll right off the trees lining the field and Palmer never looked back.

Game 3: ADSL loaded the bases in the first inning with no-outs. After failing to score and now two outs, Frankie Tierney (2-4, 2 R,2B, 3B, 5 RBI) picked up the slack and lined a bases clearing double under the diving attempt by Ryan Connelly.

TJO then threatened in the 5th, chasing ADSL starter Dave Liffers (4.1, W, 7 Ks) cutting the lead to 4-3.

Eric Williams channeled his inner Eli Porter to pick up the win for Palmer. E-dub tossed 6 strong innings, allowing 1 run and scattering 6 hits while striking out 6. When reigning Park League manager of the year JP Songin informed Williams he would be turning the game over to the bullpen for the 7th, Williams gave him a puzzled look that could only be interpreted as "but I'm da best mayne" Once again, Curran (2-3, 3 SB) and Phelan (3-4, 2 RBIs) set the table for Palmer, navigating their way around chin music to reach base a combined 8 times while scoring 6 runs in the contest. The Palmer bats came alive in the 2nd inning. Palmer pounded out 5 hits and scored 5 runs in the frame, with 4 different Palmer hitters picking up RBIs in the process. Fearless leader JP "t-rex arms" Songin had a big night for the boys in black, going 3-4 with 3 RBIs. Kyle Ritchie worked thru early control issues to pitch a scoreless 7th for Palmer.
