UR sweeps Union

Last weekend the Yellowjackets swept Union in a Home Saturday/Away @ Union on Sunday format.

In the first game on Saturday, Steve Guzski pitched a strong outing, going all 7 innings for a complete game win.

Ryan Sullivan and Nate Stein had 3 hits a piece, and Dan Brien, Jay Jay Vanderstyne, and Blayne Fuke added 2 each! Nate Stein and Ed Kahovec both homered in the 4th inning breaking the game open on the way to a 15 - 2 victory!! There was a large contingent of fans on the hill beyond the left field scoreboard causing havoc for Union's fielders in the vicinity. There was also a large crowd on hand along the walkway.

Game # 2 also featured a strong outing by Michael Park, with relief work by Paul Toland and John Fishback.
Dave Kloc had 3 hits, and Andy Cannon, Blayne Fuke, and Jim Bard added 2 hits a piece.

The final score of 8-1, following the 15-2 win earlier, had many in the crowd discussing a sweep with 2 victories the following day @ Union in a park in Schenectady.

We had to travel to Schnectady on Sunday morning, due to a track meet @ U of R.

In game # 1, @ Union, Blair Veenema struggled a little bit in the early going, as Union scored 1 run in each of the 1st 2 innings. The offense posted 3 runs in the 3rd inning and 1 in the 5th, to take a 4 - 2 lead after 5 innings of play. Then they added 3 more runs in the top of the 7th inning, but Union came back with 3 runs of their own in the bottom of 7th, before John Fishback closed the door. An UGLY win, but a win just the same! Dan Brien, Ed Kahovec, and Ryan Sullivan each had 2 hits a piece to spark the ballclub.


Game # 2 in Schnectady was never in doubt, with Pete McEneaney pitching 6 strong innings, Baby Ned Chanatry finishing it up in the 7th, due to the mercy rule, on the way to a 13 - 0 victory.

Jay Jay Vanderstyne led the way with 4 hits, Andy Cannon chipped in with 3 hits and Dan Brien homered in the 1st inning.

A great weekend overall!

Thanks to the Long Family for the food on Saturday and to the Olsen Family for the food on Sunday!
