The Atlantics met the club from Fleischmann's known as the Mountain Athletic Club on their rivals field this past sunday to roundout a vintage weekend of ball playing. Although both teams took advantage of the close proximity to the trees in rightfield, the Atlantics took great care in judging the bounces off of MAC bats to limit their aces to seven. The Atlantic lineup was led by Anthony "Willy Mo" Stelmach and Dean "Dreambucket" Emma with four hits each while cousins Anthony "Dirty Pirate" Cannino and Matt "Krawler" Kouyoumdjian had two hits a piece to tally a total of thirteen Atlantic aces.
The second underhand match saw a closer score as the MAC players took advantage of the rule differences from the modern era and increased their score to ten aces against Ed "Pigtail" Elmore's pitching. This match saw many successful Atlantic at bats as Greg "Hawk" Dengel had three hits and aces, while Dreambucket also had three hits, including two doubles and aces, and Kevin "Flash" Harrison had three hits including a double and a triple. Additionally Willy Mo, the Dirty Pirate, and Vincent "Tuna" Aurora stroked two hits a piece.
On the day, Pigtail picked up both wins and Frank 'Shakespeare' Van Zant did a fine job arbiting the games. The Atlantics next appear in public at the Merrick Street Fair on Saturday September 8th beginning at 10 AM and then follow that up with playing the New York Mutuals at the Smithtown Historical Society on Sunday at 11 AM.
