After staying and playing on Long Island for the past 3 weeks, Atlantic finally returned to its home at Atlantic Park in Smithtown. It was a nice feeling, playing on the freshly mown grass of home, and Atlantic went right to work on maintaining its winning streak as it ran roughshod over the NY Mutuals. Although Atlantic gave up a run in the top of the first, they scored 6 runs in their first, and 5 more in the third, then never looked back. Hammy's return to the pitching line and the stellar Atlantic defense sparked the first game 19-4 victory. Dreambucket, with a home run and 5 aces, and Toothpick, with a double and 3 aces, each had 4 hits to lead Atlantic. TC had a single, double, triple, and 2 aces, Wildhorse had 3 hits and an ace, and Tuna added 3 hits with a walk and an ace.
The second game started off evenly matched, as the teams traded runs until the bottom of the 4th when Atlantic again exploded for 6 runs to surge ahead on its way to the 18-7 victory. Dreambucket sparkled at the plate, going 5 for 5 with 4 triples and another home run, scoring 4 aces. Shakespeare had 4 hits, including a double, and scored 4 aces. Wildhorse, Toothpick, and Butcher each contributed 2 hits, as Tree picked up another victory, his third in the last 4 games.
