Sports August 11, 2005 By Don Lyons
The Scoops 5K road race grows larger every year. Last year 336 made the run and 47 walked the distance. This year the numbers were 414 and 61. The first four runners to cross the finish line at Katama Farm, Edgartown, in the 13th annual Scoops 5K averaged just over 17 years.

W.H. Russell dominated possession in the first 45 minutes, having their way in midfield through the classy Brazilian trio of Lee, Ricardo, and Buik, with support from the composed Ned Allen-Posin. They should have gone ahead with the first chance of the game when Lee found himself alone in front of goal after a sensational display of individual skill, only to fire his shot right into the well-positioned Sports Haven keeper Rocco Monto. W.H Russell continued to press, with Monto being forced to act smartly on more than one occasion. But it was Sports Haven who, against the run of play, finally broke the deadlock five minutes before half-time when the W.H. Russell defense failed to deal with a floated free kick, allowing Sports Haven striker Matty Schechter to slide in unchallenged and cleverly head home from just outside the six-yard box. W.H. Russell were shocked, but didn’t panic and fought hard for an equalizer, forcing Sports Haven into a defensive shell for nearly the entire second half. Yet despite their possession and pressure, they were unable to break down the Sports Haven back line led by the excellent duo of John Walsh and Nick Turner. Just when it seemed that W.H. Russell's pressure was about to pay off, a horrendous error at the back allowed Sports Haven's inexhaustible Charlie DeWitt to slip in and effectively end the match with a clinical finish. W.H. Russell bagged a consolation goal 5 minutes from time when Sports Haven's Alex Wolff was judged to have handled the ball in the box. The midfielder was subsequently sent off for protesting the dubious decision. Ugly scenes followed, with several tempers flaring in the closing minutes, putting a damper on what was otherwise a very enjoyable match. SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS By Don Lyon Softball playoffs begin The Brewhas did as was expected, taking two from the winless Riptide, to advance to the semifinal round of the Men's Softball League playoffs. But no one expected them to do it with such gusto. The Brewhas won the first of the best two of three games, 23-2, and the second, 41-6. Dewey Green stroked three home runs in the latter. You have to have seen Dewey run to fully appreciate the measure of his achievement. The Hurricanes, the league's second winningest team, took two from the Boilers, also expected. But there were no wipe-outs. In fact the 'Canes had to score five runs in the seventh to pull out a 15-14 win over the improved Boilers to win the first game. They took the second, 10-3. The third-place Wildcats took two from the sixth-place Treds. One of the wins was a rare shutout. If there was anything that might be called an upset in the first round, it was the Makos; double wins over the Sandogs. But the Makos are so young and so talented that it is never really a surprise when they win. On the contrary, one shakes one's head when they lose. Even with their so-so 8-6 season record, they are the play-off's dark horse that could go all the way. There was only one league game Monday at Veterans park. The Wildcats surprised the Hurricanes, 13-6. The 'Canes jumped ahead, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first, but the Cats responded with seven in the top of the second. The Cats finished strong with three in the sixth and two more in the seventh. It was a well-played game on both sides, but the Cats'; bats found more empty spaces. The Canes and Cats met again last night, and the Brewhas took on the Makos in the first of their three-game series. VHYC tennis exhibition The Vineyard Haven Yacht Club will host a professional tennis exhibition Saturday from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. Featured will be Mel Purcell, once ranked in the top 20 in the world with wins over Boris Becker, Ivan Lendl, and John McEnroe, to name some. At present he is men's tennis coach at Murray State University in Kentucky. Also featured will be Michael Halisky, a top open player in Florida and current assistant pro at VHYC. Perhaps the best player on Island, Michael offers a style of play that includes 140 mph serves and powerful ground strokes. The public is invited to watch the match. The Sunday tennis clinic (10 am & noon) and party (5-6 pm) are for sponsors only. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for $150. Chasing gold Twelve-year-old Chase Urban won his second tennis tournament in as many months at Amherst, his first level 6 tourney. Chase faced Miles Ransom of Falmouth, the top seed in the tourney, ranked 11th in New England, and defeated him handily, 6-0, 6-2. In the finals with Taylor Geiger of New Canaan, Conn., Chase fell behind, 1-4, before turning it around to win the first set, 7-6. He dominated the second, 6-1. Chase earned 400 ranking points for the win, putting him in the top 50 players in New England after just two tournaments.
The Mink Meadows Golf Club showed off its new and improved facilities to members and the public on Sunday. The general consensus was that the work, which expanded the golf shop and grew the locker rooms, increasing available space by 50 percent, was well worth the cost and the inconvenience. A hole to remember From the sixth tee at Farm Neck, Ann Heron, Molly Matoon, and Anne Lemenager aimed for the flag 120 yards away. Molly's shot came to rest six inches from the hole. She putted in for a bird. Anne's seven-iron shot landed even nearer and dropped for an ace. Ann parred the hole. MVRHS football prospects The annual lift-a-thon is Sunday at 6 pm in the MVRHS weight room. All players must complete their lift before receiving equipment. Equipment will be issued at 5:30 pm.

HHSA The Holmes Hole Sailing Assn. continued its Thursday evening series of handicap racing from Vineyard Haven harbor with a 6 pm race, August 4. It was a warm, partly cloudy evening with an east-southeast wind of 5 to 10 knots. Twelve boats posted for the start at red nun 6, outside the Vineyard Haven breakwater. A triangular course took the fleet to red nun 4 at West Chop, then to green can 23A at East Chop, and return to red nun 6. Boats made for West Chop on a close reach on the starboard tack, then beat to windward to the green can and made for the finish line with a broad reach on the port tack. First to finish was Ernie Mendenhall in Rocinante III, followed by Frank Sutula in Magic Twanger. Then came (3) Tom Graham in Swallows and Amazons, (4) Jerry Goodale in Stormalong, (5) Mike Oliviera in Bora, (6) Brad Elliot in Asylum, (7) Dan Culkin in Magic Time, (8) Don Rappaport in Juliani, (9) Woody Bowman in Julia Lee, (10) John Amabile in Solitude, (11) Charley Felder in Godspeed, and (12) Peter Strock in Jules. The summer racing series continues tonight and next Thursday. Sunday, Aug. 21, is the annual Chappaquiddick Rendezvous Race at 10 am. Cream and Honey rise to the top The women's softball league played the final games of its summer schedule Tuesday, at Veterans Park, Tisbury. The Creamers and Hazards matched each other in the first five innings, 6-6, but the Creamers went on scoring two runs in both the sixth and seventh while the Hazards called it a day. Final: Creamers 10, Hazards 6. On the lower field the Vixens matched the Snaps in the first, both teams scoring five times. After three innings it was still close with the Snaps up, 13-11. But the Snaps exploded for 10 runs in the top of the fourth to claim the win, 23-11. In the final game played under the lights, the Honeys and Shady Ladies proved a good enough match to be tied after seven innings, 8-8. With some excellent defensive plays on both sides, the eighth, ninth, and tenth innings were scoreless. But in the top of the 11th, the Honeys pushed three runs across the plate and kept the Ladies off the scoreboard in the bottom of the inning to post the 11-8 win. Honeys 8-2 Creamers 8-2 Snaps 7-3 Shady Ladies 4-6 Hazards 3-7 Vixens 0-10 Fourteen has shrunk to a dozen teams entered in the annual Richie Madeiras softball tournament. Games will be played at Veterans Park beginning at 8 am, this Saturday and Sunday. Food, tee shirts, and tickets to a Red Sox game will be sold, auctioned, or offered in a lottery. All proceeds go to the Richie Madeiras Children's Fund. Of Corse Jack Corse Jr., an MV Rod & Gun Club member from Cambridge, Vt., broke 49 of 50 targets at the R&G annual skeet shoot, Sunday, and claimed the club championship. Bob Merry and Bob DeLisle gave chase but could not match the Corse effort. Other winners in the several classes were: Bob DeLisle in class A, John Durfee in class B, and Dudley Harrington in class C. Summer soccer Beginning the second half of the summer soccer season, the Vineyard Football Assn. divided itself into two leagues and played the first games of the second season on Tuesday. Coop deVille defeated Broadway Screen Printing, 3-1, in the first game. Sports Haven surprised W.H. Russell Painting, 2-1. (See above article.) Last night it was Atlantic Football Club vs. Coop deVille, and Sports Haven vs. MV Lath & Plaster. Tonight Broadway tackles Atlantic, and Lath & Plaster goes against Broadway. Stars at Falmouth The MV 11/12-year-old Little League all-stars played six games in the Falmouth tournament last weekend, winning as many as they lost, 3-3. The first game with the Falmouth B team ended in a 12-8 win. The Islanders used four pitchers. At the plate, Taylor Smith, Peter Keaney, and Ben Ciciora all had three hits. William Stewart doubled twice. The second game vs. Falmouth A also went into the win column, 6-2. Ciciora and Stewart shared the mound. At the plate, Ciciora's two hits were a triple and a home run over the fence that broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth. He drove in four runs. Both Keaney and Colby Gouldrup had two hits. Sandwich defeated MV, 10-4. Stewart started, went four innings and gave up two runs and three hits. Ciciora relieved for one inning, striking out two and allowing no runs. Andrew Williamson pitched the final four and was greeted with eight runs, two unearned and six in the final inning. Ciciora was 3-for-4 and Stewart 2-for-3. MV led, 4-2, but sloppy fielding gave Sandwich two runs in the fifth. Next it was Taunton shutting out the Islanders, 9-0. On Sunday, MV played Falmouth B for the second time with the same results, an 8-4 win. Keaney went the distance on the mound and helped his cause with two hits, including a 2-rbi triple. The second game with Taunton was a mirror image of the first; another shutout: Taunton 10, MV 0. Buzzards Bay Regatta A Vineyard boat, Jeffery Eberle's Cilista, was one of 54 boats in the Buzzards Bay Yellow Circle Regatta, finishing at mid-fleet, sixth of 12 in the PHRF 2 group. Aboard the Peterson 38 were Doug Heil, Evan Olmstead, Elice Swartwood, Justin Tourigny, Dan and Ben Eberle. With some 400 boats competing, the BBR is "the largest mixed boat regatta in the northeast." Health and fitness The 17th annual Sullivan 5K run-walk for health and fitness, a benefit for the MV Hospital, will set off Saturday, Aug. 27. Sponsors hope to break last year’s record turnout of 225 runners and walkers and the $15,500 raised. |
