  The Sons posted two cosecutive shutout victories this week; one against Conway Realty and the other against Wey Bank on the complete game pitching of Dom DePaoli and Danny Keenan.  The Sons got up early on Conway with a run in the second inning, followed by two more in the third with the run scorers being Tommy Hastry, and then Jake Parker and "D.K." scoring off the 2 RBI hit of Dom DePaoli.  Dom was keeping the Conway bats silent for the majority of the game (eventually posting 15 strikeouts by the games conclusion), but  in the fourth inning  T. Downs of Conway hit a shot to right center, which was tracked down by the speedy Bobby O'Neil for the "catch of the year".  Two more excellent plays occurred when two Conway runners were cut down at the plate after passed balls, one in the fourth and one in the fifth, but the perfectly executed flip toss---catcher to pitcher (Jake Parker to Dom DePaoli) thwarted any potential scoring chances, and Conway didn't threaten anymore in the game, although the Sons did add three more runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth for good measure, making the final score 6-0.

Bobby completes the "catch of the year"

  In the game against Wey Bank, pitching and hitting were the keys to The Sons victory.  D.K. had a complete game shutout victory by displaying excellent control throught the game, striking out eight and inducing all other outs to the infield.  On the offensive side The Sons got multiple hit performances by Matt (MP3) Parker, Jake Parker, "D.K.", Dom, Bobby O"Neil and a big three hit effort from Cam Comeau, who delivered a 3 RBI bases clearing triple that put the game out of reach early for the Sons.  The final score was a solid 9-0 win, which should have the team very confident for Sundays repeat opponent Wey Bank.
