Mike & Sons - 2010 Ipswich Over 30 Softball League Champons

By Pete Rockett, Scott Garand, and Tom Ewing

No more meetings, no more practices, it all came down to defense and clutch hitting to determine this year’s Ipswich Men’s Over 30 Softball champion. It was a rematch of last year’s championship between Mike & Sons & Institution for Savings in a best out of three series. In the end, momentum had a funny way of rearing it’s head and propelled this years champion to reach the brass ring.

Mike Stasiuk

In game one the Bankers got off to a quick four run lead in the first inning, led by the hitting attack of Jim Racca, Wes Pierce and Paul Poirier. Mikes chipped away and scored 7 unanswered runs and held off a two-out rally in the 7^th inning to hold on to a 7-4 win. Scott Garand and this year’s rookie of the year Joe Dube went 3-4, Chris Shulte helped the cause with a home run. Mike Blake and his moon ball got the win while Dave Wood took the loss for IFS despite pitching well and acting on quick reflexes. Wes Pierce and Double D’s led IFS with two hits each.

Momentum carried the Oilers in game two as they got off to a quick lead only to see the IFS crew cash in and go up 5-3 after three innings. Both teams battled back and forth the next three innings with hitting and scoring leading, to a dramatic 7^th inning. With the Bankers up 9-7 with two outs in the top of the 7^th Mikes dug deep into their reserve and struck for five runs to go ahead 12-9 and hold off IFS to claim victory and win the championship for the second time in three years. Mike Stasiuk took the victory for Oil crew while Pete Robbins was the tough luck loser for IFS. Mike’s big guns were Mike Blake, Dick Merry Jr., and Dan Brennan, who went 3-4.

Scott Garand’s highlight reel catch late in the game was key to Mike’s momentum.

Jim Racca led IFS with three hits while the rest of his teammates chipped in with hard hit lumber.

Sunday August 8, 2010

By Pete Rockett, & Tom Ewing

Dave Wood

Phrases like “It’s a marathon not a sprint,” and “You have to play the schedule” weren’t more evident than this past Sunday at the fields of the Ipswich Over 30 softball league. Going into the weekend all four places in the standings were separated by one game. At day’s end nothing was clinched and first place was still up for grabs with one week to play in the regular season.

On Doyon field Mike & Son’s battled Townsend Comeau to settle for a split of two games. In game one Mikes hit early and often on their way to a 16-11 victory. Mike Stasiuk got the victory for Mike’s while Jimmy Edwards took the loss for T/C. Joe Dube led Mikes going 4-4, Scott Garand 3-4, and Mark Hardie 3-4. Hitting leaders for T/C were Pete Garand 3-4 including a home run, and Mark Meaney who also went 3-4.

Game two saw T/C get off to a 4-0 lead, stretch it to 7 runs only to be challenged by Mike’s later in the game. However, just like the BP oil leak being fixed, the T/C crew dug deep and scored three runs in top of the 7^th to hold off Mikes 14-13. Larry White got the win for T/C while Mike Blake took the loss for Mike’s. Marc Comeau and Mark Meaney led T/C with three hits each, including a home run by Comeau. Several other members of the T/C crew chipped in with two hits. Joe Dube once again had four hits for Mike’s and Scott Garand had three hits.

Scott Garand

Over on Grimes field Club 498 swept Institution For Savings. Hitting stats for both teams were not available at press time. Brad Hill got the win for 498 in game one, and Bill Knovack got the win in game two. Losing pitchers for IFS were Pete Robbins in game one, and Dave Wood in game two.

Joining the K of shame this week were Chris Perna, Pete Rockett, and Mike Blake.
After the strikeout of Mike Blake, his teammates ran to the refreshment stand and were treated to refreshments courtesy of their teammate.
Due to the humid conditions Jake Gibbs once again went through three shirts. Taking into last week’s changes, that is more wardrobe changes than a Broadway musical in one night.

Mike & Sons 14-8

Institution for Savings 12-10

Townsend Comeau 9-13

Club 498 9-13

July 25 – Getting Play-off Ready

Ironman Larry White

After a week of well deserved R&R, the boys of summer were back in full swing at Doyon and Grimes Field. With the season winding down, teams are readying for their playoff berths in anticipation for a championship for the ages. On the Steven Grimes Field, the heat played a factor as two skeleton crew teams pounded out a split. The first game went to the 498 by a score of 10-4. Brad Hill finally got some run support with hitting from Charlie Michaud, Tom Spinhurn (who seems to be an “up the middle hitter”), Craig Dupray showed some muscle at the plate, and a Ross Adams backyard shot from Tim Galanis helped fuel the victory. Ted Pickul, yes, that’s right, came out of retirement and showed the young guns how it’s done by powering a couple of hits not for the 498 and then traded shirts and hit for Townsend-Comeau in Game Two. Ironman Larry White took the loss for T-C despite pitching very well. Runs seem to be eluding T-C, only scoring a handful in the past several weeks. Hitting the ball well for T-C in game one were Marc Comeau and Larry White with a pair of hits that helped the cause. Jimmy “Shoeless” Restuccia had a good day at the plate as well. Game two turned around for T-C and the bats came alive as they pulled out an 11-7 victory over the 498, with the help of some great pitching from Larry White and solid offensive and defensive plays from his teammates. T-C came out of the gate hard scoring five runs against losing pitcher Bill “I am not from Gloucester” Novak. Jamie Morley had a strong game at the plate as did Barry Eaton, Marc Comeau, and Larry White. For the 498, Greg “I haven’t got a hit off Larry White all year” Fuller went four for four along with Charlie Michaud. Rookie of the year contender Tim Galanis went deep for the 498.

Restuccia Makes an Amazing Catch

Over on the Doyon field a battle of the two top teams was taking place between Institution For Savings and Mike & Sons.

Game one had Pete Robbins pitching for IFS vs. Mike Stasiak of M&S. Mike and Sons took the first game 14-9. The top of the order for the bankers did all the damage - Jim Racca had 2 hits, Wes Pierce had 2 hits, Paul James had 3 hits, and Joe Greenwood hit a long home run. In game 2 the bankers bounced back with a win behind the pitching of Dave Woody Wood 13-7.

The hits came from Scott Higgy Higgins with two, Tim St.Peter with two and Joe Greenwood who hit a home run past the pitchers mound on the other field. The defensive play of the day came was on a ball hit by Mike Blake that Wes Pierce tracked and relayed to Joe Greenwood who threw a laser to Jimmy Dream Leaver to get Blake at the plate.

Field Observations

Long time veteran of both Over 30 and the Ipswich Chief’s I.T.L was up from Florida, obliged his privilege of our Veteran Rule and played with the 498 Club went 3 for 5. Ted Pickul, at 70 years young, was welcomed by all and had a blast. “Welcome Home” from the boy’s.
Umpire Angie Perna cited T/C’S Barry Eaton on rule 7A in the rule books for “intended sliding” and was called out.
Some members are wondering why how a Haverhill firefighter can swap shifts for 4 months to serve a jail term but Jimmy Edwards has missed several weeks in a row.
You know it’s hot when Jake Gibbs goes through four shirts.
T/C is asking why it takes Mark Meaney two weeks of missed softball to host a Wiffle ball tournament.
Spotted in the crowd this week was Over 30 legend Charlie Fuller.
Jim Restucci showed up at the refreshment stand with cash this week but still has a tab from the days at Don Bosco eight years ago.
Mike Blake hit a monster blast on Doyon that was tracked down by Wes Pierce who then hit his cut off Joe Greenwood who fired a bullet to catcher Jim Leaver tagging out Blake. All the fans went nuts and a comment was “yelled to Mike” by one “Chief Flying Grill” that if he got out of his UPS truck more often, he would have been safe. His wife Marilyn concurred.
Clearing up a report last week that Tom Ewing pulled a muscle going to first base. Tom had the day before moved a washing machine and had aggravated a leg muscle while moving the machine.

Standings are as of July 25^th:

Mike & Sons: 13-7

Institution For Savings: 12-8

Townsend Comeau 8-12

Club 498 7-13

With the continued hot, and steamy temperatures of the summer the official Dog Days of the Ipswich Men’s Over 30 League were in full bloom this past Sunday at Doyon and Grimes field with Institution For Savings taking on Townsend Comeau Oil, and Mike & Sons facing Club 498.

At days end no broken bones, and the standings were taking shape.

On Doyon field Institution For Savings swept a pair from Townsend Comeau in two close games of 4-1, and 7-4. In game one Dave Wood tossed a gem supported by great defense around him. The big hit came from Chris Connolly who hit a line drive HR into right in the later innings to put the game over the top for the Bankers. Larry White was the tough luck loser despite pitching well and with good movement on his fastball and changeup. Leading hitters for T/C were Paul “Rigga” Rigby with three hits and Marc Comeau with two hits.

In game two, emergency starter Paul Poirier got the win for the Bankers led by the hitting of Wes Pierce. Larry White took the loss for the T/C crew despite his continued pitching performance that proved to be with outstanding control. Matt Comeau led T/C with two hits along with a HR followed by Jack Carey’s two hits.

Over on Grimes field the sweeping theme continued with Mike & Sons taking two from Club 498.

Mike Stasiuk got the win for Mikes in game 1 with a 13-5 victory while Brad Hill took the loss for 498. Stasiuk helped his own cause by going 4-5, Dick Merry Jr. and, Chris Perna also chipped in with three hits.

Game two saw Mike Blake get the win for Mikes while Bill Knovack took the loss for Club 498.

Scott Garand went 3-4 along with Chris Shulte was also 3-4 including a HR to pave the way for Mikes.

Field Observations

Welcome Back to Over 30 Mike Gino Jennotte who celebrated his return with a triple on Mike & Sons. It was also reported that oxygen tanks were brought in to help him breathe after the three bagger.
Nice HR by IFS’s Chris Connolly who rounded four bases that included the town of Boxford.
The injury status to Tom Ewing isn’t thought to be serious. Ewing who walked in at bat against Townsend Comeau somehow pulled a muscle going down to first base.
T/C’S Larry White was so distraught after giving up a HR to IF’S Chris Connolly that made White ponder retirement.
Mike & Sons players were treated to refreshments by Mark Hardie who struck out on a Bill Knovack knuck

Mike & Sons 12-6

Institution For Savings 11-7

Field Observations

Hot, humid conditions were still evident this past week as water was in high demand by all players.
Angie Perna continues to do his fine work putting down lines on both fields.
From the Brotherly love department. Scott Garand of Mike & Sons robbed his brother Pete of Townsend Comeau of a HR by playing him perfectly in the outfield. It should be noted that Scott was within a stones throw of the Galicki estate where he was positioned.
Joining the K of Shame this week was Dennis Howes, Chris Shulte, Brian Mahoney, and Chris Perna.
T/C’S Larry White is quickly racking up strikeouts and has set an Over 30 record, and could chase Roger Clemens for the overall record.

By Pete Rockett, Tom Ewing, and Scott Garand.

In Pro Hockey there is reverse sweater nights, in Baseball there is throwback uniform nights, and in Over 30 Softball we have switch your opponent day. On Sunday June 27^th the members of the league changed their dance card and switched opponents after their respective first games.

At day’s end records were broken and a come from behind victory was put in the record books.

Beaten but not down, T/C pulled themselves up in game 2 against their counterparts Mike & Sons Oil slugging toe to toe to come out with a 17-16 victory in a thrilling comeback in the bottom of the 7^th. Larry White rebounded from game one, that could be described as “ugly,” to pitch. His teammates backed him with solid defense. Trailing by four going into the bottom of the 7^th Barry Eaton, and Marc Comeau led off with singles. This was followed by Jamie Morely, Jack Carey, Larry White and Greg McDonough that led to the score being tied. Paul Rigby then took a solid swing with a rip up the middle to score McDonough with the winning run and to give the T/C crew a much needed victory and to halt a 3 game losing streak.

Field Observations

The Townsend Comeau team looked liked the walking wounded this week. Larry White doing his best impersonation of Red Sox coach Ron Johnson sporting a knee brace on his left knee, and an ace bandage on his right quad. Barry Eaton has a minor hand injury, and Todd Delano sat out this week with a bad quad. Rumor has it Eric Shwartz is rehabbing his injured quad and should be back in two weeks.
The refreshment stand had plenty of cold water this week for players and fans.
So excited by his game winning hit T/C’s Paul Rigby ran to first base and almost to the beginning of Marini’s hill.
Joining the K of shame this week are Joe Dube with two strikeouts, Dennis Howes, and Rob Donahue.
