Led by a terrific performance by Quinn Ryan (6IP, 0ER, 8K, 4 assists), the Yankees defeated the Royals at Chelsea HS. Ryan improved to 6-2 on the season. Offensively, the Yankees were led by an ageless Frank Kowalski, who put on a baserunning clinic to go with his contributions at the plate (2-3, BB, 3R, 2SB). Colin Levesque also chipped in w. a 2-4 effort. Royals starter Martin Minns kept the Yankees off balance most of the night, only allowing 3ER in a complete game effort. AJ 'Gollum/Booch/Schmeagol/Timay/Sean Magee Lover' Bucciarelli offset his 0-4 at the plate with some outstanding base coaching.

Ryan hurls a gem, Kowalski paces the Yankees offense, 'Booch being Booch'

As a follow-up to Houlding's performance, Dave Martin did not allow a Royal hit until the 4th inning when Felix Villalobos led off the inning with a line-drive just out of the reach of Kyle Michaud. Martin tossed 5 innings, impoved to 2-0, and allowed just 2 hits, 2 walks and 1 earned run with 8 strikeouts. Offensively, the Sox were paced by Nate Pane who went a perfect 4 for 4. Jason Hoye also pitched in with a 2 for 3 effort with a sac fly and 3 more RBI. Will Bissonnette also went 2 for 3 with a triple and a pair of RBI.

Brian Houlding (8-2) became the latest MABL hurler to chuck a no-hitter. After a lead-off walk to TJ Unger, Houlding retired 21 straight batters for a near perfect game. Unger scored after Mike Malin grounded out. While Unger was advancing to 3rd base, an errant throw allowed him to score, thus shattering the shutout. Houlding finished the day with 5 K's, 1 walk and no hits allowed. Offensively, the Sox were paced by Jason Hoye who went 2 for 3, including a bases-loaded triple in the first inning. Earl Murphy had a perfect 3 for 3 day with 3 RBI and a walk. Will Bissonnette, Scott Reinold and Mike Lembo also all contributed 2 hits each. Jason Kurtz took the tough loss for the Royals.

In a game shortened by rain the Pad's pulled it off once again. Mike Minerva pitched great in front of a sloppy defense picking up his 3rd win. Alex Familia had a big 2-out hit in the 4th to spark a 3-run rally. In the bottom of the 5th Darwin Mesa hit a single to lead off and steal second. Leigh Zancewicz had a bunt single as Mesa advanced. After a failed suicide squeeze play, Zancewicz advanced to 3rd and Julio Gonzalez knocked in the game winning run. When the Pad's went to the field it was pooring and lightning. The game was called 45 mins later.

Baldassari 2 hits, Familia 2 out RBI, Marenghi good job

The Astros (16-5) set a new franchise record for wins in a season last night with a 6-2 victory over the Royals. With his parents in attendance, Eric Harvey pitched 5.1 innings, not allowing a hit until the sixth for his 9th win of the season. That is also a new season record for wins by an Astros pitcher. Harv struck out 12 including the side in order twice. Ron Viola kick-started the offense with a 2-run bomb to left on a hanger from Royals starter Martin Minns. The 'stros got two more in the inning and two more in the next to make it 6-0. Mike Power tripled to center in the sixth and later scored the Royals first run. Josh Vernon came on in the sixth and did not allow an earned run, pitching effectively through the final 1.2 innings. The game ended on...well, Tim Clark snagged a hot grounder down the line at third and falling backwards into foul territory, threw side-arm to first in the air for the out. Really quite filthy.

Ariel Martinez bested Adam Clark in a great pitchers duel. Ariel went the distance while K'ing 8 and allowing only 1ER off of 4 hits. Clark was nearly as good as he also only yielded 4 hits while K'ing 6, walking none and giving up 2 runs (1ER). The Royals struck in the first as Felix Villalobos (1 for 3, R, SB) singled and stole 2nd and then was plated on a deep Greg Kosc double (1 for 3, 2B, RBI). That run held up until the 5th when Greenlaw walked and on some heads-up base running moved up to third on a sacrifice bunt. With 2 outs, Mike Davis (1 for 3, RBI, SB, K) blooped a single to center to tie up the score. In the top of the 6th, Clark got two quick outs before hitting Matt O'Hara (0 for 1, R, SB, HBP), and giving up a single to TJ Unger (1 for 3, SB). On a pickoff attempt, O'Hara stole 3rd, and on the next pitch scored the winning run when TJ stole second and the ball sailed into the OF.

Late umpires and long innings caused a light shortened game between the Roylas and A's. The Royals got to the A's for double digits in run for the second game in a row. TJ Unger (3 for 4, BB, 3RBI, R, 2SB) and Tom Spoth (3 for 4, 2RBI, R) led the office with 3 hits each. Bradon Hughes (2 for 3, HBP, 2R, RBI) had the other multi-hit game for the Royals. The two teams traded runs in the 1st inning and a half before the Royals pounded out 5 hits and 6 runs in the 2nd; capped by a Greg Kosc (1 for 2, RBI, 2R, 3B) triple. The game really opened up in the 4th as the Royals scored 5 times off of 1 hit, 4 HBP, and 3BB. Then the Royals tacked on 4 more on 1 hit and 3 errors in the 5th. Jason Kurtz (4IP, 2R, 0ER, 8K, 2BB, 4H) had another strong outing to pick up his 3rd win of the year. Tom Spoth (1IP, 1H, 2K, 1BB, 1R) returned to the mound for what ended up as the final frame in 5th.

Tom Spoth picks up 3 hits, and JK picks up his 3rd win
