Washington Township Senators 35+

The Delco Astros used a fine performance from veteran hurler John Kosmosky and four hits from Tony "Fugi" DiGiammo to hand the Senators a sweaty 10-4 pasting at Sun Vally High School in Delaware County. Rich Kulikowski took the loss, coming up with a sore wing after pitching two solid innings to start the game. The Senators were very short-handed, with only 10 players present, and they seemed to wilt in the near 100-degree heat. Frank Rose was the offensive leader, collecting singles in each of his three at-bats. And although every Senators but the skipper hit safely, Rose was the only Nat with multiple safties. Next up: the Senators come back home for a regular season ending contest against the Philadelphia Panthers, a team they faced in last year's playoffs -- and the former team of long-time Nat Ken Bevenour. Gene Michalski will have the ball for this one, but I also intend to use Dale Amos, Chris Lawrence, Frank Rose, Ken Bevenour, and if healthy, Rich Kulikowski and John DiPietro in this one, too. The tentative lineup (with Toth getting one quick AB and departing): 1. Toth-EH
2. Alessandrini-CF
3. Lawrence-3B
4. D. Amos-LF
5. Izzi-1B
6. Bevenour-RF
7. McAllister-SS
8. Frese-2B/EH
9. Kulikowski-EH/OF
10. R. Amos-C
11. Rose-2B Gene Michalaki would hit for Toth the second time around the lineup and continue from there.
