July 21, 1983 Cents At Battle Of Local Teams, Indians Feast On Crow By MAC FULLER The Heiderberg Indians raised their overall American Legion season \record to 15-4 with a 16-4 pasting of the Voorheesville Crows at Delehanty Field last Friday, July 15. The 16 runs enabled the visiting Indians to register their highest game total of the season. The winners belted 13 hits enroute to the lopsided victory. An eight-run second inr-hg also produced Hel- derberg's biggest single inning as 12 men came to bat. Greg Therien and Greg Peck both walked and Therien scored as Steve Wisniewski's bunt single was thrown wild past first baseman Vic Myer for an error. . Dave Baumann grounded out to shortshop Thorn Dickinson for out number one. Speedy second base- man Dan Kennedy promptly rip- ped a line-drive triple to rightfield, scoring two runs. Ben (\The Hammer\) Jacklet walked and n ilfered S3SSS {lowed Wlui a run m>i»x/£iiA. foil James singled in Kennedy and Jacklet crossed homeplate on a wild pitch. Brian Rucinski walked. James scored on a fielders' choice play off Doug Strout's bat. Therien, up for the second time, singled in another tally and took third when the ball went through the rightfielder for a two^base error. Greg Peck hit a long triple that plated Therien for the eighth run of the long stanza. Steve Wisniewski tapped back to the mound for the final out. Phil < \Rocket\) James belted one over the left-centerfield fence. Phil, I've got to give you a lot of credit for hitting some long round-trippers, but with a steady breeze blowing in, the ball barely cleared the barrier. Oh, well, it looks like a, 500-foot blast in the scorebook. Right? Nice going! Wisniewski singled to lead off the fifth inning and then stole the key stone sack. Where he hid it, I'll never know! Baumann flied to right. Kennedy plated \Whizzer\ with a sharp single and \The Hammer\ singled in Kennedy. James hit a one-bagger and producing hit to score Jacklet. Doug Strout skied out to center and Dean Nixon ended the three- run outburst with a groundout to Dickinson. The Crows tallied their first run in the second when Jeff Caimano drew a base-on balls to force in the run. They made it 8-3 in the third as hurler Mike Cantento doubled and was sent home on Andy Tomson's single. Tom Flynn singled' for the third run. Voorheesville added their last score of the game in the fifth inning on a booming triple by Eric Lane. He tallied on a passed ball. When Lane tripled, the large contingent of Crow fans went absolutely wild and when he scored a few moments later they were hard-pressed to contain them- selves. I can't recall seeing such enthusiasm anywhere. It was heartwarming! The Indians scored four times in the seventh as Jacklet doubled; followed by James and Rucinski with free passes to first. Tom (\T.B.\) Can- belted a long double to score two and Scott Mueller hit a long sacrifice to score Carr after Chris Farley drew a walk. The Crows's attack was led by Craig McNeil (3 for 4) and catcher Tom Flynn (2 for 2). The offense for the Indians was paced by James (3 for 4), Jacklet (2 for 4), Kennedy (2 for 5) and Wisniewski (2 for 3). Darkness descended rapidly and I congratulate Manager Jerry Gordinier who informed the um- pire he wanted the game called before someone was hurt. This occurred when two were out in the bottom of the seventh. Coach Nate Dickinson did 1 his usual fine job coaching both third and first base, but not at the same time. Nate's good, but not that good! I neglected to^ask Phil James's parents on whether or not they have a garden at home. They must. have one because everytime Phil comes to the plate, he manicures (Continued on Page 5) Evening Summer Concerts Continue At Voorheesville Village Parks Sunday evening summer con- certs sponsored by the Village of Voorheesville continue this week- end with four local country west- ern acts onstage behind Village Hall.
