Sports August 18, 2005 By Don Lyons Among those closely pursuing Meinelt in the early going were star-marked Edison Parzenese and Jamie Smadbeck. Photos by Ralph Stewart Marian Bihrle was the first female to complete the run, well ahead of runner-up Allison Rowe. Meinelt takes Chilmark 5K, again Steve Meinelt, 22, of Topsfield repeated his 2004 mastery of the Chilmark Road Race, finishing well ahead of any of the other 1,548 runners who completed the race. Meinelt’s time was 15:28, almost a full minute faster than 19-year-old Victor Gras of Belmont who was second in 16:20. Saturday was hot and muggy, not the kind of weather that leads distance runners to new records and, in fact, it was the rare exception for ‘05 runners to improve on their ‘04 times. One of those rarities was the MVRHS cross-country leader and school record-holder, Edison Parzanese, 17, of Edgartown who finished 7th this year in 17:54. Last year he was 9th at 17:58. Another top-10 repeater was Brendan McNeish, 19, of Southbury, Conn. He was fourth this year in 17:30.

Brewhas take game one Teammates greet Kevin Hatt at home plate after he circled the bases with a three-run homer that sealed the win. Having swept the Makos in the semi-final round, the Brewhas hosted the Wildcats, conquerors of the Hurricanes in two straight, in the first of the best three-of-five men’s softball league championship series, Monday, at Veterans Park, Tisbury. The Brewhas were first to put a number on the board with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. But the ‘Cats caught up and then some and carried an 8-2 lead through the top of the fifth. The Brewhas scored six in the bottom of the inning and tied the game. The Wildcats clawed their way to another two run lead, 15-13, in the top of the seventh. But the Brewhas, playing catch-up most of the evening, came back again. Singles by Dewey Green and Greg Belcher set the table for Kevin Hatt’s game-ending 3-run homer. The game was well-played, all but errorless. There were impressive efforts at the plate and on the base paths and none of the rancor that marred the last meeting of these two teams The Wildcats and Brewhas were scheduled to play the second game of the championship series last night and to meet for the third tonight. If necessary, the series will resume next Monday.
