Highlights July 21, 2005 Bridgework Nine tables were in play at the meeting of the Bridge Club of MV at the Tisbury senior center, Saturday. East-west winners were Jim Kaplan and Larry Gutman. Barbara McLapin and Lee Sinai were second, followed by (3) Tita Power and Jim Power and (4) Emily Robertson and Claudia Bowser. Sitting north-south the high scorers were Joan and Bill Green. Gloria and Theodore Manning were second. Deidre Ling and Edward Russell, Jean and Lionel McMurren were third and fourth. Albee goes all out Alan Albee of Edgartown shot 21 of 25 targets in his first round, then had a perfect score of 25 on his next to win the 8th annual Klays for Kids skeet shoot at the MV Rod & Gun Club, Sunday. Breaking 25 straight clay pigeons earned Alan a place on the club’s straight club trophy as well as a straight pin. As is the club custom, Alan’s hat was shot full of holes as a reminder of his accomplishment. Other winners were: Class A, Brian Welch; Class B, Tim O’Bryan; Class C Vito Palermo. Neck Grand Slam Debbie and John Naumann defeated Vivian Normandeau and Jeff Young, 6-3, to win the Grand Slam, mixed doubles, round robin, tennis tourney at Farm Neck, Saturday. The Naumanns reached the finals by besting Catherine Urban and John Harris, 4-3, in a semi-final match. The Normandeau-Young team won their semi-final contest with Lorie Eible and John Walters by the same 4-3 margin. Eight teams in two flights began the tournament. EYC races Sailors had to deal with fog and shifting, sometimes failing, winds during the 82nd Edgartown Yacht Club regatta last Thursday to Saturday. The lack of wind on Saturday forced some boats to drop out of the Round the Island race. None of the class five or six boats finished . According to a number of EYC veterans, it was probably the most challenging regatta in memory. Winner of the Wianno Senior Class was George Edwards in Aurora. Todd Kittredge, in Pieces of 8, was runner-up. Nineteen boats were entered. Of the five Rhodes 19 sailors, Katherine Putman was best in Joan F. Margot Becker was second in Faith Jonathan Pope in Madam X led the 11 boats of the Shields class with Bill Berry in Syrina not far behind. Persephone sailed by Riley/ Berwind beat all in the Herreshoff class. Tom Dunlop in Lila was second. Hugh Chandler sailed Scheherazade to class one victory in the Round-the-Island race. Jim Masiero in Ursus Maritimus led class two. Class three winner was Ira Perry in Seefest with the best corrected time of all boats, 7:40:51. The class of class four was Bill Dingwell in Zoomer. The New Bedford YC team of Kinship, Seefest, and Zoomer won the team trophy. MV Ocean Race winners were Bob Donohue in Antares and Joseph Frelinghuysen in Brass Tacks. Chase is back Twelve year-old Chase Urban of Vineyard Haven, recently returned to the Island after a year in Bermuda, entered the level seven, 12 and under, USTA tournament in Woburn last weekend as an unseeded player. Sixteen players competed, including three seeded players. Chase won the tourney by defeating top-seeded Thomas Alaimo of Andover, 6-2, 6-0 Fore! Tony Grillo, 15, of Vineyard Haven won the Francis Ouimet tournament for golfers 14 and 15 years old, shooting 77 at Stow Acres in Stow, Mass., July 7, and another 77 in the rain at Blissful Meadows, Uxbridge, the next day. Monday, Tony had the low score of 71, besting all 17-and-under players at the Harmon Club, Rockland, to qualify for the Mass. Junior tournament at Devens, August 1-3. At Eisenhower Park, N.Y., July 11-14, Tony shot 222, six over par, in the A.J.G.A. tourney and finished tied for 29th. Tony will play in the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships. July 23-25 at PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Brewhas bow, finally The Wildcats brought their best game to the ballpark last Thursday and handed the Brewhas their first loss of the season, in extra innings, 15-9. Close until the end, the score was tied 6-6 in the sixth inning. The Cats scored three in the top of the seventh to go up, 9-6. The Brewhas answered with three of their own. Neither side scored in the eighth, but the Wildcats batted around in the ninth and scored six runs, putting the game out of reach. The Brewhas lost more than the game. By vote of league commissioners Ray Tattersall and Dan Sharkovitch, and a majority of the rules committee (team captains), Kevin and Eric Hatt were suspended four games for their part in a fracas at home plate. The Brewhas climbed back onto the winning trail Monday with a 12-7 win over the Boilers. Also Monday, the newly camouflage-clad Skinny Sandogs sent 16 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fourth, 12 of whom scored, and trounced the Makos in a rule-shortened game, 25-9. Bill Frizzell and John Walsh homered for the Dogs. So did Ben Connolly, but he was called out on appeal for failing to touch second base. In another shortened game, the Treds crunched the Riptide, 18-3, thanks in no small way to some circus catches in left-center by Pete Lambos. A one-pitch league tournament will be held Sunday, beginning at 8 am. Standings as of July 19 Brewhas 10-1 Hurricanes 8-2 Sandogs 7-3 Wildcats 6-4 Makos 5-5 Treds 4-7 Boilers 2-9 Riptide 0-10 Little Leaguers The 11-12 year old MV Little League all-stars hosted Nantucket at Veira Park. Wednesday, and shut out the Whalers, 6-0. Ben Ciciora and Noah Stobie shared the mound and the shutout, allowing only three hits while striking out eight. Both Peter Keaney and Colby Gouldrup hit safely twice. Taylor Smith drove in two with a double. At the Bourne tourney, the Islanders opened with a 4-0 win over Harwich, Friday. Ciciora, Stobie and William Stewart held Harwich to three hits, fanning eight. Ciciora was 2-for-2 at the plate including a line drive home run over the center field fence. Stewart and Delmont Araujo had back-to-back RBI doubles. Saturday the Islanders lost to Bourne, 6-2. Kevin Galligan started and was touched for two hits and two runs. Ciciora relieved and held Bourne hitless and scoreless for three innings. In the final inning Noah Stobie gave up five hits and four runs. Peter Keaney drove in both MV runs in the fifth with a bases-loaded double. Saturday afternoon Yarmouth edged the Vineyarders, 3-1. Galligan started and gave up five hits and two runs in two innings. Stewart relieved and held Yarmouth to one run in four innings. Andrew Williamson drove in Colby Gouldrup, who had tripled, with the only MV run. MV played Dennis on Sunday afternoon, a well-played game that went 10 innings before Dennis won, 9-8. Starter Ben Ciciora gave up nine hits and six runs in five innings. William Stewart pitched three innings and held Dennis scoreless with two hits. Peter Keaney closed and was touched for four hits and two runs. MV started the scoring in the second with a triple by Keaney, singles by Araujo and Stewart and Taylor Smith’s double. In the third, Williamson led off with a double and scored on Ciciora’s triple. Keaney walked. Araujo singled in Ciciora. Stewart’s single scored Keaney. The Vineyard’s next run came in the ninth. Williamson singled and went to third on Ciciora’s double. With two outs and two strikes on Gouldrup, Williamson stole home, a delayed steal. MV went ahead in the top of the 10th. Keaney singled and went to third on Araujo’s base hit, then scored on a sacrifice bunt by Stewart. But Dennis wasn’t through. They put together two singles and a double to score twice and claim the game. Coach Bruce Stewart had words of praise for outstanding fielding plays by Delmont Araujo in center, Taylor Smith at first base, and Chris Morris at second. The all-stars will be in Freetown this weekend. Winter guy Hale wins The Frost Biters and Winter Guys held their mid-season July race at noon, Sunday. Seven boats registered but only four showed up as showers began with southeasterly winds at 5 to 7 knots. Michael Jacobs and Harry Duane set a downwind, upwind course of nun 6 in the harbor to nun 4 off West Chop, twice around. Finishing first was Phil Hale in Mischief, more than eight minutes ahead of Frank Sutula in Magic Twanger. Art Spielvogel was third in Hero and 15 seconds behind was Peter Strock . In mid-August the Frost Biters will race again when the Holmes Hole Sailing Assn. takes a break during the Atlantic Coast Soling Championships. Vineyard football Coop de Ville, the only unbeaten team in the Vineyard Football Assn., went head to head and foot to foot with W.H. Russell Painting, the team closest to the front runners in the standings, Tuesday at Veterans Park. Coop de Ville scored first but could not shake the Russells and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. In the nightcap, Broadway’s single goal held up as winless Sports Haven was shut out. VFA standings as of July 19 G W D L GF A P Coop deVille 7 6 1 0 25 7 19 MV Lathe & Plaster 7 5 0 2 10 12 15 W.H.Russell 7 4 1 2 17 13 13 Atlantic F.C. 6 3 0 3 11 5 9 Broadway S.P. 6 1 0 5 6 20 3 Sports Haven 7 0 0 7 7 20 0 Three-way tie The winless Vixens held a 2-0 lead at Veterans Park until the sixth inning, Tuesday, when the Hazards pushed three runs across the plate to claim the win. At the same time, a two and a half hour marathon was also decided in the sixth inning when the Snaps overtook the Shady Ladies to win, 15-13, on a soggy lower field without benefit of lights. In the late game, Elizabeth Rothwell led the Creamers to a 5-2 victory over the Honeys. After giving up two runs early in the contest, Rothwell closed the door helping her own cause with a three-run blast in the third. “Little Lisa” Jendrick’s double in the seventh put some icing on the cake. Women’s Softball League Standings Honeys 5-2 Creamers 5-2 Snaps 5-2 Shady Ladies 3-4 Hazards 3-4 Vixens 0-7 A pride of catboats Fourteen boats showed up for the annual Edgartown Catboat Rendezvous, Saturday. Racing in light wind, surprisingly the Marshall 18s did better than the Marshall 22s. First of the 18s was Ontario, sailed by Steve Warner of Dartmouth, followed by Jeff Craig in Rosa Parks out of Oak Bluffs, the fastest Vineyard boat, and Lulu skippered by Scott Lollis of Edgartown. In the Marshall 22 class it was Sonatina with John Green at the helm edging out Jim O’Connor in Glimmer and Tim Lund in Red Squirrel. The only wooden catboat at the rendezvous was the MV Historical Society’s Vanity, sailed by Charlie Tucy, which perforce won the wooden catboat prize. Meredith is third Meredith Smith, 22, of Edgartown, MVRHS class of ‘01, heaved the javelin 119 feet and finished third in the event at the Bay State Games at MIT on Saturday. Last year, unhampered by an injured foot, Meredith had a 121’ 10” toss, good enough to win. This year the winner uncorked a 132-foot throw. Meredith was just inches behind the second-place finisher. Stars The Cape Cod Times has begun announcing its spring sports all-star picks, starting with boys lacrosse. Two Vineyarders were named to the CCT 16-player roster: Michael Giordano, the MV’s high scorer with 61 points, and Edison Parzanese, the team’s MVP with 94 assists. Andrew Farrissey was honorably mentioned. Falmouth, which finished second to Wellesley in MIAA division 2, placed four players on the all-star team. |
