JUNE 4
PIAA STATE PLAYOFF
CLASS AAAA FIRST ROUND
At La Salle University
West Chester East 14, Frankford 0: The Pioneers surrendered 12
runs and 13 hits in the first two innings, but at least were able to avoid a
three-inning termination in their final game under 19-year coach Bob Peffle.

and Peffle afterward autographed a keepsake baseball for veteran ump Jim
Scott.

MAY 30
CATHOLIC LEAGUE FINAL
(At Widener University)
SJ Prep 19, Ryan 0: For the second time in six years (Carroll
beat La Salle, 16-0, in 2002), the CL final was outrageously one-sided as
the Hawks frolicked to their first championship in the league's 63-season
"modern" baseball history; there'd also been a title in 1925. The Prep
scored four unearned runs in the first, then exploded for 13 more (all
earned) in the second thanks to eight hits (three doubles), five walks and
two hit batsmen. Seventeen batters went to the plate. Fittingly, the only
two seniors in the starting lineup emerged as headliners. In a game halted
by a 10-run mercy rule, Matt Dolan pitched a five-inning one-hitter (Rob
McArdle's infield single to lead off the third) and Matt Fischer went
2-for-2 with a walk, double and four RBI. Tim Edger, Steve Bruno and Dennis
Murphy added three RBI apiece.
MAY 29
PUBLIC LEAGUE FINAL
(At Campbell's Field, Camden)
Frankford 7, Central 5: Senior first baseman Kevin Roche, who made
only one plate appearance during the 2006 season (he walked), went 3-for-4
with a double and four RBI out of the cleanup spot as the Pioneers assured
that coach Bob Peffle would head into retirement with one last title. It was
his fifth in eight years, in fact, and Frankford raised its record vs. Pub
opposition during the last six seasons, counting playoffs, to 100-7. In his
19 years, Peffle went 235-76 (.756) against Pub opposition with marks of
197-62 (regular season) and 38-14 (playoffs). Esteban
"Shortie" Meletiche smacked an RBI double and went the distance, fanning 10.
Edwin "Tito" Rohena and Frank Donato (RBI double) halved four hits and as
many runs. Losing pitcher Jared Farbman went 2-for-3 and his sac fly drew
Central within 7-5 in a two-run seventh. With the tying run on base, Roche
caught a foul popup to end the game just before he fell part way down the
steps in Central's dugout. He was unhurt.
MAY 26
CATHOLIC LEAGUE SEMIFINALS
(Doubleheader at Widener University)
SJ Prep 6, North 1: Soph righthander Kyle Mullen nearly became the
fifth pitcher in CL semis history to notch a complete game while yielding no
hits or one hit. But in the seventh, he walked three and plunked Derrek
Etsell to force in a run and classmate Kevin Gillen was summoned to retire
the final batter. Chris Morrin had North's lone hit, a fifth-inning
single. Mullen fanned nine. Tim Edger (triple and single for one RBI apiece)
and Steve Bruno (2-for-3, RBI) led Prep's offense.
Ryan 11, O'Hara 3: Kevin McGovern, who'd personally scouted the
big-hitting Lions three days earlier, pitched a six-hitter. Each hit came in
a different inning; three came with two away. Nick Ferdinand went 2-for-3
with a walk, triple and three RBI. Help came from Rob McArdle (3-for-4,
two-run single), Andrew Lacovara (3-for-4, two runs scored) and Mike Kovacs
(two-run single). Ryan scored in all six of its at-bats. For O'Hara, which
used five pitchers, Marco Menna doubled and tripled.
MAY 24
PUBLIC LEAGUE SEMIFINALS
(Doubleheader at Richie Ashburn Field)
Frankford 10, GAMP 8: Bad mushroomed into worse very early for
Frankford as rightfielder Jose Burgos suffered a dislocated right shoulder
diving for Brandon Henson's game-opening triple and GAMP went on to explode
for eight runs; Henson capped the inning with a three-run homer. After
scoring two runs in the second on a dropped popup, Frankford posted its own
eight-spot in the fourth as hits by Jon Bracero (double) and Kevin Roche
(single) chased home two runs apiece; Roche had started the frame with a
double. Esteban "Shortie" Meletiche allowed seven hits (none after the
leadoff batter of the second inning) in going the distance.
Central 2, Northeast 1 (8 inn.): In a battle of senior
righthanders, Jared Farbman (four-hitter, 12 strikeouts) fared a shade
better than Joe Breitweiser (seven, eight). Jim Benek drove in a run in the
fourth and scored the winner in the home eighth. He singled to left, moved
up on Mike Braun's sacrifice and came around on Micah Winterstein's drive
over the rightfielder's head. Northeast soph Tim Freiling went 3-for-4 with
an RBI.
MAY 23
CATHOLIC LEAGUE PLAYOFFS
SECOND ROUND
At Widener
North 10, Judge 9 (8 inn.): The Falcons overcame deficits of 4-0
early and then 8-7 and 9-8 in the last two innings to jolt their arch-rival
and earn a semifinal berth for the first time since 1995. Frosh Ryan Etsell
extended the game in the seventh by scoring his senior brother, Derrek
(single), with a double; Judge DH Joe Ashdale (five RBI) had provided an 8-7
lead in the top half with a grand slam over the Blue Monster in left-center.
Bob Zanneo singled home a run in the eighth, then North got two on an error
and Chris James' RBI single. Each Etsell went 2-for-3 with a double and
Chris Morrin collected two RBI. Kegan Smith won in relief.
At Phila. Univ.
O'Hara 6, Carroll 0: Kevin Culbert pitched a two-hitter
with 10 strikeouts and, with Chris Dengler (double) on third base in the
seventh, he was able to preserve his shutout by inducing a popup caught
behind the mound by third baseman Marco Menna. Steve Juliano laced a two-run
single while Jon Yuravage lofted a pair of sacrifice flies. Pat Young (two
hits) and Greg D'Alonzo (two runs scored) also were factors.
MAY 22
CATHOLIC LEAGUE
FIRST ROUND
At Widener
Judge 14, La Salle 7: In a game featuring 38 negative stats -- 10
errors, 10 unearned runs, 11 walks, seven hit batsmen -- Tim Ashenbrenner
was a breath of fresh air. The Crusaders' third pitcher went the final five
innings and allowed just one run on one hit, Mike Martinelli's RBI double.
Jim DiLisio lofted two sacrifice flies while Andrew McHale (double) and Joe
Ashdale (single) lashed hits worth two RBI. The highlight for La Salle,
which owned a 6-2 lead after two innings, was Sean Saverio's two-run triple.
At Phila. Univ.
Carroll 6, Bonner 4: Down 1-2 in the count, John Thomas
lined a two-run double to center in the top of the seventh to give the
Patriots their third postseason win. Though he did not receive credit for
the win, Andrew Candelore was a first-magnitude star thanks to his 5.2
innings of one-run (unearned) relief after the starter failed to retire any
of the first five batters. Chris Lisowski posted a two-run single in the
first and Chris Dengler, the No. 3 hitter, created a 4-4 tie in the fifth
with a squeeze bunt. Bonner, the third consecutive Carroll opponent to do
so, collected just two hits.
