1. Players must have a jersey, even if they have to borrow one from a bench player. After the 4th of July break, players won't be allowed to play without a uniform.
2. Playoff rosters are due before your games this weekend.
3. Remember, as decided by the managers pre-season, to be playoff eligible, a player must be on the roster by this weekend's games (regardless of rain or play, on by the scheduled game time) and have a combination of innings pitched and plate appearances at least equal to the number of games a team plays. Exceptions only for injured players who met the requirement last year and are coming back late this year.
4. In the event of a play at the plate, if the ball and runner arrive at about the same time and there is a collision, there is no rules infraction. If the ball arrives before the runner and the runner has time to slide, he should slide, avoid a full impact collision (i.e. try to avoid being tagged or going to the side of the catcher) or give himself up at the plate. Runners are not to create a collision for the purpose of jarring the ball loose. Umpires will use their best discretion interpretting this type of play and as a judgement call should not be argued, similar to balls and strikes. Correspondingly, since we are protecting catchers, and runners, from injury with this rule, a catcher who blocks the plate without the ball is interfering with the runner and is subject to the appropriate ruling of interference, and possible ejection, if the catcher is deemed to have made deliberate or negligent contact with a runner.

Friday games:
Long Wongs 10 Varsity Club Bulldawgs 7
Varsity Club couldn't capitalize on Long Wongs manager Kirk Spano's line-up card error which caused Chris Adamski to be out in the first inning after getting plunked in the helmet short changing a rally and dropping middle of the line-up hitter Joe Brand to ninth. Josh Sopczak held Long Wongs close through six allowing the team to get its bearings. Long Wongs hitters paid back Sopczak when they overcame an early 4-2 deficit to tie the game in the 5th on three hits generating two runs, and took the lead for good in the sixth with five runs. The Long Wongs sixth only ended when Varsity Club turned a 6-4-3 triple play off a no out runners at first and second line drive to the shortstop. Bruce Smeby came in to get the save for Long Wongs. Aaron Krueger had three hits for Long Wongs, as Tom Mortonson, Chris Adamski and Brian Jaeger all had two hits.
Club Paragon / Milwaukee Sporting Goods 11 O'Brien's / Milwaukee Harley Davidson 7
Club Paragon/MSG started off hot in the first inning and never looked back. Troy Schmitt was and RBI machine, driving in 4 runs himself, while Jimmy Kuriatnyk helped himself out with two hits and two RBIs. In addition, he threw a 5 hitter, scoring the win.
Johnny V's 7 Planet Markey's Indians 1
Tony Lubarsky smacked a grand slam in the 5th to break open a close game. Rob Weist added 2 hits while Mike Gramarossa tossed a 3-hitter to get the win.
Saturday/ Sunday
Long Wongs 1 Franklin Barber Plumbing 0
In a game between league leaders, the difference was base running and fielding. Long Wongs scored in the first on two stolen bases by John Wade and an throwing error. Joe Brand battled Franklin pitcher Mike Slama for five innings before giving way to Chris Adamski who finished the two-pitcher two hit shut out. Brand made two crucial plays on the day from the mound, picking off a base runner and catching a runner too far off base after a hit to the mound. In the fourth, a Franklin attack was averted by Long Wongs when right fielder Tom Mortonson ranged deep into the power alley to pull in a line drive that hit the top of his glove, bounced off his chest that he finally caught bare handed as he landed on the ground. Josh Sopczak followed two batters later with a running leaping catch in the left field alley that saved a run from scoring from second.
Club Paragon / Milwaukee Sporting Goods 12 Colonel Hart's 8
In a an offense powered game, Club Paragon/MSG was able to pull out the weekend sweep, beating Colonel Harts 12-8. In the second inning, Brian Peters started the charge with an RBI single, followed by several walks that drove in three runs. A Joe Vilskoski triple cleared the bases and a Steve Laabs double capped off the inning. In his first start this year, Mike Jalecic threw a 6 hitter complete game to get the win.
O'Briens / Milwaukee Harley Davidson 10 PJ's Royals 5
The Royals took a 3-2 lead into the sixth inning when O'Briens/MHD's bats finally came alive scoring six runs and chipping in two in the seventh to get the victory. Dan Wilfrath went 3-4 and Greg Kohlhapp and Jon Stocks chipped in 3 RBI apiece. Jim Vielbaum pitched the complete game to get the win.
Planet Markey's Indians 8 Treat's Blue Jays 6
Tracks 9 over Johnny V's 8
Tracks was able to bounce back from an early 4-0 deficit to snatch their first win of the season. Connor Broderick got the win with solid relief pitching as Tracks rallied late taking advantage of walks and timely hits. Tracks now has something to show for a month of good baseball and are two games back going into a make or break doubleheader vs PJ's Royals.
