N.A. Blanchard Post 1040 (Egan)		Andriano’s Pizza (Mullen)
		On an unseasonably warm evening, Andriano's featured good pitching and solid defense in a 7-2 win over a very good Blanchard Post team. At the outset, the Andriano's bats matched the weather, heating up for six hits in the home 1st to stake the Pizza boys to an 5-0 lead. Both starting pitchers settled in after that, with a fine full game effort by the Post's Brendan Egan keeping the visitors within striking distance. For Andriano's, Henry Manley continued his solid pitching, striking out 6 in 4 2/3 innings of work. With two outs and the bases loaded, Andrew Luntz came on in relief, securing a strike out to snuff the Post rally. Defensively, David Garcia made a great play to throw out a would be base stealer at 2B on a wild pitch that rolled to the backstop. Brett Berben flashed some leather in CF, including a nice catch to end the game. Offensively, Garcia had two singles and a run scored. Matt Gillespie chipped in with a single and a run scored. Michael Mullen had a single and a run scored. Berben had a single, 2 rbis and a run scored. Luntz had a triple and 2 rbis. Dermot McDonough had a double an rbi, and a 2 runs scored. Jacob Smith and Manley also had singles.
