Unfortunately, the marathon is this week.  Some teams will be shorthanded but for those who live in Brooklyn you could come here before the bridge closes or for later games you can get to SI through NJ.  I know that is a big pain but try to get here for the playoffs. 

USC finished undefeated this year with a little help from a controversial triple play.  With the bases loaded and no outs the ACES were within seconds of tying the game when The Aces batter hits a smash to third.  Marty Costello fileds the ball very near the foul line (some thought it was foul) and steps on third throws to second and the relay get the batter for a triple play.  Great play by Costello.  Was it fair was it foul with our replay we will never know. 

In another odd moment at 50.  In a tie game (4thh inning) 5-5, Donatos batter hits a smash to RF.  It hits the tree in RF and somehow slowly rolls under the fence in the RF corner.  The Umpire ruling gave the batter third base.  THIRD BASE in essence a Ground Rule Triple.  The Padres argued the call to no avail.  But here is the odd part;  later in the inning Donatos batter hits the ball off of the left field fence, the ball hits the pole and bounces out into the street. WAIT how many times have you seen the ball go out of  play in RF and LF in the same inning.  This one was called a Ground Rule double.  Needless to say there will be a ruling later in the week on balls that leave the field of play at 50.  The final result was a Donatos thrashing of the Padres 17-5. 

Lets wish Anthony Dondiego a speedy recovery.
