Phill Zygmunt had a strong showing in left field and Nick Lindstrom got his first ECVFSA hit of his career. He struck out in the 6th and, as a result, chugged a Pepsi back at the hall. Winchester 17 Orchard Park 12
Orchard Park found themselves down early in the game to Winchester and unable to score the needed runs until the sixth inning when the Orchard Park bats woke up. Orchard Park was down 14 - 6 in the top of the sixth and after a great inning at bat for OP they closed the gap to 2. Winchester made some great plays in the top of seven to add 3 more runs to their tally and then held their ground in the bottom of the seventh to stop OP's comeback. Next up for OP is a trip to Vigilant. Winchester will go visit the boys from North Evans Week 6Brant 5 Union 4
Brant Traveled to West Seneca for the 3rd time in 5 weeks on a crazy Tuesday in May. Brant was short handed due to Game 6 of the Buffalo Sabres vs Carolina game(Tater Hill and Tommy Whelan were at the Sabres game) and due to Joe Hill and his wife having their first baby(Veronica Lea Hill 5lb 14oz) early in the afternoon. Union came to play and gave Brant all they could handle in tight 5-4 victory for Brant. Brant was led by new Grandpa Billy Hill Sr( 2 Hits, 2 runs), Tony Puntillo(HR), and Dave Pero(2 Hits). Peter Pero, getting his first start, knocked in a run on his first career hit...Sounded like a great game. Brant plays Winchester this week in a HUUUUUUUGE divison game. Union plays cross town rival Vigialnt this Thursday. Woodlawn 28 North Collins 14
North Collins started strong going up by 7 in the 3rd inning but woodlawn put up 2 touchdowns and a field goal to go ahead by 10 in the 4 inning and never looked back. Mark Warsaw finnaly brought something to the table with 3 homerunes and a bunch of RBIS when we really needed them. Week 7Winchester 10 Brant 7
In a HUGE division game, the Brant Bats fell asleep and Winchester got a 3 run HR in the 5th, from Super Rook Mike McGowan, to top Brant 10-7. WInchester jumped out to a 6-0 lead, but Brant fought back with 7 in the 4th to take the lead. Winchester took the lead for good in the 5th with a 4 spot. Great game overall. Thanks to Jim Kittner for umping the game for us. It was our 3rd game without an umpire. Woodlawn 24 Farnham 3
Woodlawn started fast again with home runs by BIG ERN,LT and a inside the park home run for TRIPLE A. Another fine pitched game by Ernie even though he was told he should retire. Little ernie won the cooler from Mike Weller. Nice job. Next up for Woodlawn is Lake Shore. EDITORS NOTE..the league needs to drug test Woodlawn....24 runs per game..they have to be juicing..especially Pupo North Evans 17 Angola 2
Thursday June 8th, North Evans stayed unbeaten, putting away Angola 17-2.Angola showed up early tieing the score 2-2 in the second,but it was all NE after that. Fininzio,Desantis,both Hazards,awe heck everyone played well.Last years great conversation continued at second,after Fininzio doubled to start the game,Todd from Todds Landscaping & Steve from TMS Landscaping, again reviewed the rising stone and gas prices.New-comer to the conversation was Bob Beck of Bobs Landscaping, Bob called time out to state,"dah- thats why I only mow lawn in the Village, the Village with an(GO)la in it. Week 8Brant North Evans..cancelled
Brant North Evans was cancelled. A Make up date has not been set. Woodlawn 20 Lake Shore 4
Lakeshore started quick with 2 in the first but Woodlawn answered with 7 of their own to go ahead for good. Lakeshore thought they would hold Woodlawn under 20 runs but with Tygers bomb in the bottom of the 6th ended that dream and ended the game. I think the ball is still on Lake Ave if anyone needs one. Woodlawn is now on a bye week. NOTE TO EDITOR VINNIE HAS BEEN TESTED WE STILL HAVE NOT GOT THE RESULTS. WE THINK IT MAY BE THE COORS LIGHT Farnham 22 Highland 18
Farnham beat out Highland 22-18 in a back and forth game. Excellent defense on both sides along with great hitting and base running made this one of the more exciting games thus far. The umpire in this game was horrible. He never came from behind the plate to make any calls in the field...very inconsistent. The after game festivities were cut a little short for the Highland boys due to a structure fire. However, refreshments were still flowing when they returned. Pete Chiavetta from Farnham decided to stick around late to have a "few more" with they guys. SUPER SATURDAY/Week 9
Once again Super Saturday is upon us. The games start at noon this Saturday and run through 6pm starts. North Collins will have beer/pop for sale. Hot dogs and burgers will be available $1 each.

Brant 14 North Collins 6Brant and North Collins kicked off Super Saturday on a nice Saturday in June. Brant started out hot, with 10 in the first 2 innings to win 14-6 over North Collins. Brant was led by David Pero(3/3 HR, 4 RBI's), Tater Hill(3/4, HR, 3 RBI's) and Vince Fininzio(3/4 4 runs scored). Next up for Brant is cross town Rival Farnham. Vigilant 21 Big Tree 10
Big Tree didnt show up for the first 4 innings and it cost them big time being down 17-0 going into the bottom of the 5th. As motivation to avoid the mercy rule, the manager offered ice cream to the team if 4 runs were scored in that inning, but Jason Beirings grand slam knocked in the 5th run of the inning, so the mercey rule was avoided but the ice cream was lost. Beirings 3 run home run in the bottom of the 7th just wasnt enough and Vigilant beat Big Tree 21-10.Week 10
Brant 15 Farnham 5Brant and Farnham squared off on a warm windy June day. Farnham, playing their 3rd game in 6 days, fell behind early and could not catch up. Brant won 15-5.Brant was led by David Pero(4/4, 3 RBI's), Tater Hill(3/4, 4 RBI's) and a HR from Tony Puntillo. Brant had a pre-game scare, as they had to go to their 2nd string water jug. Their starting jug disappeared in North Collins on Saturday. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of yellow Iggy, please let us know. Next up for Brant is a date with the defending champs...East Seneca. North Evans 13 Lake Shore 12
The rains came and went,and so did North Evans after a 13-12 win over Lake Shore.Field conditions were not great, but both team played great. Lake Shore got hits from some unknown players, a grand slam,triples and doubles were not enough for the hot bats of NE. They were led by Galenda with a 3-run homer,clutch hitting by Al Haz,Jimmy A and bad breath,game winning hit was by none other than Steve Fininzio.The game however was capped of by a double-play the hard-way. A fly ball to deep left field,Korhummel makes the catch and throws a BB to third base where the runner was tagged out by at least three feet by Al Hazard,who, if I may, played a great game defensivly. NOTE to editor: RYNO did strike out!Winchester 20 Vigilant 5
