Men’s Senior Baseball League

Pro-Bats Yankees 7, Glen Acres Nursery Giants 5

The Yankees (9-1) garnered another comeback win over the Giants (4-8) Friday in Dunkirk. Down 3-1, the Bombers tallied 4 runs in the third and two runs in the sixth inning to over come the pesky Giants. The Yankees Weston Ley (2 hits, 2 runs, RBI), Justyn Vara (2 hits, RBI) and Brent Carmello (hit, run, RBI) struck the key blows in the comeback. The highlight of the day at the plate for the Yankees was a Joe Polichetti (2 hits, 3 RBI, run) 365 foot (stat-cast) solo home run over the center field fence. Vara (5-0) navigated through a complete game victory on the mound, allowing three earned runs while walking four and striking out eight Giants hitters. The Giants’ Jared Aiken (2 hits, 2 runs), Jordan Bennink (2 hits) and Alberto Benejan (hit, 2 runs) were the hitting leaders. Josh Strzelac and Jonathan Cordova combined on the mound for the Giants, walking five and striking out nine Yankee bats.

Trailing 3-0 in the 4th inning, the Yankees (10-1) rallied for 12 runs in the final four innings and hung on to defeat the (6-4) Cubs at the Gowanda High School field. Joe Polichetti (3 hits, 2 RBI, 2 runs) continued his torrid hitting pace to lead the Yanks, while Dennis Gawronski (3 hits, 2 runs, RBI), Joe Pantano (2 hits, 2 RBI, 2 runs), Matt Eaker (2 hits, 2 runs) and Matthew Pantano (hit, 2 RBI) supplied all the power needed. Allan Carmello started on the mound for the Bombers, allowing four earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of work. Gawronski shut the door on the Cubs in relief, pitching scoreless ball the rest of the way. The pinpoint pair did not walk a batter and struck out three. The Cubbies were led at the plate by Jordan Morrison (2 hits, 2 RBI), and Sam Agnew (2 hits RBI). Neil Mangan tripled, while Jamie Wallschlager, Dylan Hutch (RBI), Steve Dietzen (RBI) and Nick Sheetz all singled.
