Providence Grays

1864

W 19-6

For the second year in a row the Atlantics ended their season surrounded by ghouls, ghosts and witches. At the invitation of the Providence Grays the teams met at Salem Common to conclude their respective 2013 campaigns.

The Grays struck early scoring four aces in the first inning and another in the fifth to lead five runs versus two for the team from Brooklyn after two innings of play. The Atlantic defense woke up allowing no runs over the next four innings and were supporting Ed 'Pigtail' Elmore's pitching with their bats by scoring four aces in the fourth and six more in the fifth inning to take a commanding and insurmountable lead.

The Grays did not give up, hoping they could cast a spell over the Atlantic bats by silencing them. They scored in each of the last three innings but alas they could not regain the lead falling to the score of 13-8.

Frank 'Shakespeare' Van Zant led the Atlantic attack with three hits and two aces, followed by two hits by 'Ticky Rick' Stattler and Kevin 'Flash' Harrison who used the costumed spectators in left centerfield to his advantage in forcing the Providence defenders to avoid the possibly fatal touch of zombies on the grass.

Sean 'Toothpick' Ness also struck a double and scored twice to help the Atlantic cause and Alyssa "Mulligan" made a guest appearance.

The second 1864 match began again with the Grays taking a lead, this time with three aces in the top of the first inning against Vincent 'Tuna' Aurora pitching for the Atlantics.

Fate, however, favors the bold and the Atlantics did bat boldly with tallies of six, five and seven runs in the initial three innings the match was taken out of contention early. Shakespeare led the Atlantics again with four hits to go with his four aces and was followed around the bases by Greg 'Hawk' Dengel with three hits, Anthony 'Dirty Pirate' Cannino, Matt 'Krawler' Kouyoumdjian and Flash with two hits each.

Tuna remained undefeated for the season notching an 11-0 record on the season.

The Atlantics completed their 2013 campaign by celebrating with the Grays at a BBQ at their captain Brian Travers house.
