Matt Parker Getting The Rally Started 
In back to back slugfest wins over Mooney Construction (21-10 Saturday and 13-10 Sunday), it was all about the offense.  The entire line-up reached base via hit, walk, error, and even a hit by pitch in the 2 combined games; most notable was Dom DePaoli, who went 7 for 8, including a walk, a fielder's choice, and of course his 2nd home run of the season.  (Just as an F.Y.I. - A fielder's choice in baseball scoring is defined as - an attempt by a fielder to retire a runner already on base rather than the batter: the batter is not credited with a hit if he reaches first base safely).   Also having outstanding batting performances in the two game set were, Matt Parker and Robert Dunphy; they both reached base one way or another in every at bat they had, going a perfect 8 for 8 each.  Also, J. Parker, T. Hastry, and J. Connolly had 3 or more hits, with Sully, Bobby O'Neil, and Cam Comeau  having 2 hits each and making solid contact in several more at bats throughout both games.  With 34 runs being scored by the Sons in two games, it could easily overlook the defense, but there were 3 web gems that must be noted;  the first one being a Tommy Hastry snag of a line shot at third, the second one, a Mikey Swett catch in right and turning it into a double play by throwing the runner out at first, and the number one web gem, and so far the play of the year, Robert Dunphy's back hand "sno-cone" line drive catch at second.  I guess it really wasn't "all" about the offense afterall.  The two victories have now put the Sons at 5-3 on the season, with divisonal leader and rival Duncan MacKellar next on the schedule tuesday night.  Oh yeah, and by the way, a BIG WELCOME BACK to Mikey Swett.
