Crabs 4-7 Bullies – 1B Aggie McDaddy (.278,1,15) doubled and tripled, plating two, to help Grimside to a win today at Homeboy Field in front of 5,602 patrons. RF Dummy Hawhaw (.354,3,23) had no extra base hits, but managed to drive in 3 runs off a pair of singles anyway. The Baysiders had little answer for that, with the result that SP Margarita Lime stayed unbeaten (2-0) against them. W: Margarita Lime (4-4, 4.93); L: Buster Bean (0-5, 8.63); S: Groovy Barnes (1, 7.92); PoG: Dummy Hawhaw (2/3, 1R, 3RBI)

Burners 4-5 Nightmares – RF Pepper Dotson (.317,6,31) thumped a go-ahead double in the bottom of the 8th, scoring Onion Munyon, as Riverbottom nailed Salemwich a bit deeper into the basement. 3B Onion Munyon (.328,0,18) went a perfect 4-for-4, and is 6 for his last 9 overall. On a postive note for the Burners, 3B Innocence O’Malley (.291,7,26) has now homered for the 3rd game in a row. W: Corvette Colette (3-2, 3.32); L: Disco Davison (1-1, 5.59); S: Angel O’Hare (6, 0.00); PoG: Onion Munyon (4/4, 1R, 1RBI)

Hollers 6-4 All Stars – Another seemingly smooth outing for Prissy Puddin turned alarmist in the 8th, when a wild pitch followed by a double from C Merry Patterson (.268,2,12) plated 3, pushing Citypark to within a run at 5-4. In came suspect CL Saucy Smothers for a dejected Puddin, and he was able to record the 4 outs remaining. 1B Tuck Thompson (.374,8,26) led the Hollers with a 3-for-4 performance that included a 2-run blast over the boards at dead center. Citypark Mgr/3B Snuggles Henderson (.336,2,18) is contemplating disciplinary action against star LF Billy Metro (.369,9,30), who three times refused to sacrifice CF DJ Jazzy Twan (.239,9,25) over. Metro finished 0-for-4. W: Prissy Puddin (6-2, 2.00); L: Dooley McCooley (2-5, 4.70); S: Saucy Smothers (2, 3.68); PoG: Tuck Thompson (3/4, 1R, 3RBI, HR)

Kin 2-10 Blues – Villager SP Hairbow Haley won her 4th on the trot and 3B Nancy Collagen (.304,0,10) broke out of a 1-for-14 slump as West Village romped to victory tonight at The Village Green. Collagen cracked 2 doubles – good for 2 RBI - in raising her average back above the .300 mark. W: Hairbow Haley (4-3, 3.49); L: Hambone Helgersson (5-2, 5.63); PoG: Hairbow Haley (8IP, 8H, 2R, 2BB, 5K)
