P&M 10, Tuff Dogs 4

Reigning Commercial League champs Tuff Dogs went all of last season just losing one game, but stumbled out of the box against P&M.

P&M are based on the old Sea Venture Overseas Shipping team that dominated softball for many years.

Chris Coleman (2-4) helped put P&M in the lead with a two run homer in the first and that was shortly followed by a Danny Cook (1-4) blast that also left the park.

P&M scored five in the first, two in the fourth and Jon Towers (2-3) capped their scoring with a three-run shot in the fifth.

Cook did a masterful job in limiting Tuff Dogs to five hits, the last of which was a Steve O'Flynn (2-3) homer. Kevin Taylor also had two hits for the Dogs.

Joanie Harper (3-4) and Johnny Ray (2-3, walk) also helped provide a jolt to the P&M attack.

Southlands 17, ACE 8

A 12-run third inning was more than enough for Southlands to overcome ACE. Darren Green (4-5) blasted two homers in the inning for Southlands. Southlands developed their lead further in the fourth when they plated another five runs. Leadoff batter Greg Carey (3-4, walk) set the table at the top of the order while Joe Machado (4-4), Shannon Grosse (3-4) and Chris Larkin (3-5) all batted well for the winner.

Les Dziwenka was 3-4 for ACE and Paul DeCouto (2-4) hit a three-run homer in the losing cause.[[In-content Ad]]
