Budweiser won two games this past week to take over sole possession of first place in the A Division.

In game two, Budweiser came from behind to defeat their nemesis, the Captains Table, 12-11. After falling behind 3-0 - due in large part to the Table’s John Murray hitting a monster home run - the Bud Boys rallied for eight runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Frank Moore provided the big shot with a grand slam home run. The Table came back to tie in the fifth but Budweiser rallied for four more runs. Great relief pitching of Alex Jamieson slammed the door on the Table. Jimmy Hogankamp, Pete Pisacano and Marty Diamond homered to help lead Loyal Tire to a 12-5 victory over CB Trucking. Neil Hoyt pitched the complete-game victory and was aided defensively by Steve Smith and Mike Gregory. Pizzy and Marty Diamond went back to back in the fifth inning.
