Tom Rose broke open a game that was close early with a grand slam in the bottom of the second to lead Pro Sports Therapy to a 14-3 win over Healy Oil. Rose led a balanced Pro Sports attack that had six players drive in runs and nine players with hits on the night. The top of the order had a big night, as both Jeff Morse (2 hits) and John Bodi (4-for-4) were on base all night and scored 3 runs each.

Floral Arts 16 - Healy Oil 7

Floral Arts got back on the winning track, using home runs from Tom Semeter, Tom Lester, Mike Alonardo, Jim Peloquin, and Simon Tripp, and great pitching from Larry Mardany to keep Healy Oil at bay.
