MONSEY, NY: When BEIT squares off against their fiercest rival usually the pre-game hype reaches Ali V. Frazier. Of course I’m referring to USCG, and typically both sides bring everything and the kitchen sink. But caught in the middle of travel season, the more vulnerable Bombers took the field with nine players, one shy of a full team—and won 9-6.
With the victory, BEIT moved into a tie for first place and held a team that averages 16 runs a game to a season-low 6. The defensive effort started on the mound as pitcher Ian Gold stymied opposing hitters with a career-high of five strikeouts. All night USCG hitters basically watched the ball dance across the plate and tried to straighten out the hurler’s best stuff.
The Bomber pitcher was backed up again by terrific games from the defense. Even with missing one position player on defense, the Bombers made USCG earn every run. Hard hit balls were tracked down by shortstop Michael Barbara and deposited at 80 mph into the glove of sure-handed Steve Sartori. Fly balls, line-drives, and lollipops alike, were tracked down by “Boombox” Award recipient Andrew Gilfillan, James Heine, and Ashlee Bradbury—who were missing an outfielder and had to cover even more territory than usual.
Gilfillan was awarded the silver necklace for his speed and hustle in the outfield. On three separate occasions Gilfillan’s hustle brought him into a mud bath, and while his skin is now smooth and clear, he sacrificed his body for the shorthanded team. The inspiration rubbed off and Janine Lucas made her third pop-up out in as many games (and yelled “Three!” while making the catch) at the plate.
“I felt like I could play on either side of the plate, and get strikes when I needed them,” Gold said. “It’s a great feeling knowing if I mix things up the defense will get the outs. We’ve been successful for some time, it’s what we expect.”
The Bombers dodged kite-flying families and gate climbing kids to hold USCG and their dangerous top-of-the-order to one run in the top of the 1st inning. The two heavyweight teams would exchange big hits and runs until the bottom of the 5th inning when BEIT gave up 3 runs and looked uphill at a 3-6 score.
Gold led off the inning with his second homer of the game, and Barbara would cement his passion for back-to-back yaya (homeruns). Kim Lovato rode the momentum and hit a ball through the left side of the infield and then hustled around the bases on clutch hitting by Sartori and Heine. When Lovato crossed the plate, she tied the game 6-6, setting up two perfect defensive innings and a bottom of the 6th that featured the Bombers at their clutch best.
Andrew Gilfillan led off with a single and was eventually driven in by Barbara, who was advanced by Lovato, who was driven in by Sartori, who was advanced by Heine while scoring Barbara.
Confusing?
It was for USCG because they saw their lead, and first-place standing, crumble. The heavy favorite now was in the dire position of scoring three runs against this stingy arrangement. No deal—the Bomber defense wrapped up their dominant present by doubling off a runner on second and converting on a fly-ball to center.
“I was Bradcurious to see how we’d play shorthanded,” Ashlee Bradmerry said while dodging autograph requests from pre-pubescent fans. “We needed to be patient; there was no need to Bradhurry. It was my first time in the rivalry game, and just hearing about past losses made me Bradfurious.”
More spectacular is the fact that once again the Bombers had to piece together a defensive arrangement just minutes before the game. The long awaited return of left-fielder Andrew Gilfillan was a shot of confidence for the 3-person outfield. And even Nicole Sam strapped on her riot gear and held down the hot corner.
“They actually threatened to tether me to third base,” Sam said. “I usually play in the outfield, and I’ve got too much of a face to be that close to the ball coming off the bat. Pearson is lucky nothing happened, if USCG derailed my modeling career I would have been rich.”

Bombers Win in Seventh, 9-8
BY SPARKY CHALMERS
PARK RIDGE, NJ - Just minutes earlier AE&S had mounted a two-run rally to tie the game before 7th inning—could they have been thinking sweet revenge for the Bomber Championship comeback of 2009? Or were they just concentrating on beating the Pearson League powerhouse for the first time?
Either way, the resilient BEIT squad shook off the AE&S momentum and made the necessary plays to come away with a 9-8 victory. With two outs in the top of the 7th inning, Ian Gold put himself in scoring position with a double and came through with the winning run a pitch later, when Boombox award winner Michael Barbara singled through the left side of the infield.
Of course, a one-run lead in softball is no safer than a sunny day this summer—it can turn to clouds and rain quickly. The insurance for the win looked bleak when AE&S put the leadoff runner on, only three bases away from tying the contest. But the next hitter afforded Janine Lucas the opportunity to make the defensive play of the inning. On a wicked cutter, the AE&S batter swung and popped the ball up behind the plate. Lucas ripped her mask off, spit out a couple sunflower seeds, and made the catch for the first out of the inning. An induced grounder and a fly-ball out later, the Bombers (2-1) earned the victory.
“Holding a good team to eight runs is not easy so I knew our defense was up to the task,” Captain, and first-baseman, Steve Sartori, said. “After the way we played last game we needed a big win, we needed to respond. Winning a one-run game in the last inning was just what we needed.”
Still playing shorthanded, the Bombers needed a complete effort to get back on the winning side of .500. While the manager still figures out who should bat where and continues to switch fielding assignments moments before the first pitch, BEIT is figuring things out on the go. Winning is possible because defense never disappears. Home runs come and go, and players can go through slumps, but good defensive teams always play good defense.
“Chicks dig the long ball, but I also build my team on defense,” owner and general manager, Sally Yagan, said. “I had a long talk with my manager, but I’m happy with the performance from yesterday.”
The Bombers switched Jon Bryant to third base and Brian Mickelson to left field moments before the game, and both performed well in their new positions. Once again Ashlee Bradbury made a nice play on a long fly ball to right center and James Heine provided steady play and leadership from centerfield.
“As a Buckeye, I know that legacies and dynasties are built upon defense,” James Heine said. “In the countless hours since Michigan has last beat Ohio State, defense has ruled the rivalry. I stress to my constituents a combination of focus, discipline, and hustle. If you apply those three things, you can be a great defensive team.”
Familiar Bombers powered the offense with Ian Gold scoring three runs and hitting a two-run homer in the top of the 3rd and Michael Barbara going 3-for-4 with three RBI, including a “Sveny” opposite field inside-the-park home run.
“We haven’t yet had a steady and complete lineup,” second baseman Kim Lovato said. “Sitting at 2-1 with a couple big wins is a nice position to be in.”

Bombers Fall to H&C, 15-6
Bombers Fall to H&C, 15-6
BY SPARKY CHALMERS
MONSEY, NY - “Oh, mercy mercy me, oh, things ain't what they used to be,” Marvin Gaye said 40 years ago.
Odds are that Gaye wasn’t referring to the BEIT Bombers run of dominance in contrast to the 15-6 mercy-beating they received Tuesday in Monsey, NY. But who knows, the man had premonitions, and the lyrics fit.
Health and Career’s Captain, Jackie Riotto, politely asked for the attention of BEIT Captain, Patrice Jones, after the 6th inning, and once again politely asked, “I hate to even bring this up, but is the mercy rule 10 or 15 runs?”
Jones with little hesitation (because the Bombers have handed out so many mercy-rules quickly responded), “Its 10.”
“Never happened to us before,” Jones said. “First time in four years (which included an undefeated run to the Championship and two Pearson Trophies) we were ever mercy ruled. I told everyone after to move forward, but don’t forget what that feels like because it didn’t feel good.”
The Bombers looked out of their element playing in Monsey. Without the friendly confines of Park Ridge, hitters had trouble adjusting to the defensive adjustments of H&C and the defense faltered under the muddy conditions.
“We have to adjust,” second-base girl Kim Lovato said. “We played great the first game in Park Ridge, but if we have games scheduled in Monsey, we have to learn to play there.”
The after-game festivities even took a hit as Bomber players disbanded. Because of the failure to celebrate, team Captains asked this writer to notify the public that Janine Lucas will be awarded the Silver Boombox Necklace for her efforts against H&C. Rumor has it Lucas was battling a 104 fever to make the game, so even as her brain was boiled alive by her overheated blood, her 3-for-4 day and hustle on the bases was inspiring to BEIT teammates.
The Bombers play Monday and Tuesday of next week, and are scheduled to be back in Monsey on Tuesday against familiar rival USCG (surprise, surprise). With games on Monday and Tuesday, Jones is confident his team will rebound, regroup, and receive reinforcements. Owner and GM, Sally Yagan, is currently in the final stages of contract negotiations with utility infielder Tim Galligan and outfielder Andrew Gilfillan, or as she likes to call them, her “yearly legal headaches.”
-Front Office Listens to Fans-
Die-hard fans Claudia Fernandes and Mary Kate Murray made the long trip to Monsey, NY and were very vocal during the loss. Fernandes referred to the Bomber performance as “nauseating,” and Murray capped the sentiment by saying “If they keep playing like this, and losing, I’m not coming anymore.”
This wasn’t lost on the BEIT front office, which took a page out of George Steinbrenner’s book and issued the following press release.
“The only parts of this franchise that are safe are the Boombox and the Freak-Bat. Any member of the team that does not fill their role will be traded to HR/Legal, the Kansas City of the Pearson Softball League. Good money is paid to at least five members of the Bombers, and failure on this investment will not be tolerated.”

Defense Leads Bombers in Season Opener, 13-5
BY SPARKY CHALMERS
PARK RIDGE, NJ - Puzzled fans thumbed through their programs, connecting numbers to faces, and faces to new Bombers. These weren’t your father’s Bombers, but like most great franchises, it’s the name on the front of the jersey that matters. Even after the Boombox was systematically removed from the Scarlet and Grey dugout, BPIT found a way to maintain their winning culture.
Even with new gloves, BPIT dominated defensively in a 13-5 victory over SSA yesterday in Park Ridge—avenging the blatant pregame attack on the Bombers’ fun-loving musical culture.
“Before the first pitch, I walked out and saw Steve Sartori playing first and Kim Lovato playing second, and I thought, well this is familiar,” pitcher Ian Gold said. “Then I turned over my left shoulder and saw (Brian) Mickelson and (Michael) Barbara at third and short, and had the first of my six nervous breakdowns. It was different, but they played great.”
The defensive tone was set immediately—in dead silence—when the first pitch was grounded to shortstop Barbara, who rocketed the ball to Sartori at first, getting the first out of the game. In a matter of seconds, the next out was made on a long fly ball to right-center field, where Ashlee Bradbury broke the gender barrier and made a great catch. The Bombers made the final out of the inning on a pop-up, posted a goose egg, and jogged in at the top of the first with good spirits.
Although the crowd was robbed of watching Mickelson strut to the plate with a Led Zeppelin narration, Bombers young and old love offense.
“Usually we get a little pep from our musical accompaniment,” catcher Janine Lucas said. “Instead we let our play do the talking, and I think that first inning in the field really got us going.”
Offensively the Bombers had a different look. Instead of sending balls into the left-field forest, they used timely hitting and effective base running to their advantage. SSA Captain Craig Campanella even joked, “Do the Bombers of 2011 play small ball?”
Again BPIT forced momentum in the first to roll downhill. With two outs in the bottom of the inning, the Bombers started a rally. Runners were on second and third when the big hit came from newbie Bradbury, the Boombox-necklace recipient. She lined a ball into centerfield and drove in two of her team high threes RBIs.
BPIT left the first inning with a 3-0 lead and didn’t look back. A two-run homer over the center-field fence by Gold in the third and a two-run triple by newcomer Sarah Timmins in the fifth were plenty of insurance.
“It’s big to start the season 1-0,” third baseman Brian Mickelson said. “It was disappointing I didn’t get to rock out to the sweet tunes, but it’s a long season. There is still plenty of time to rock.”

Bombers Begin Quest for 3-Peat
Bombers Begin Quest for 3-Peat
BY SPARKY CHALMERS
Bombers centerfielder and Captain Patrice Jones has used unique tactics in the past to inspire his BPIT Bombers. And after back-to-back Pearson Championships he may have to dig deep into his bag of tricks.
Rumors circulated that Jones tried to use his brother Bomani’s connects to bring NBA legend Phil Jackson to Upper Saddle River. Jackson knows a thing or two about 3-Peat’s, winning three consecutive championships twice in Chicago and once in Los Angeles. But since retirement, Jackson has refused to deal with egos (Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant), and, after her move to New York City, second-baselady Kim Lovato is more than he could handle.
Jones didn’t give up though, and managed to book one icon to break things down for his 2011 squad.
http://youtu.be/Ijae2WHdc9I (for some reason you’ll have to refresh the page).
As it turned out, all 16 members (even the interns) of this year’s squad knew how to count to three, how to account for the losses of Jason Calcano, Elisabeth Scarpa, and Eric Svendsen (The 1, 2, 3 hitters from a year ago), that will be the real challenge.
“Every year is a challenge,” Captain Steve Sartori said. “People thought we had too much to replace last year, but then people like Kimmy Lovato stepped up, Michael Barbara was a huge addition—what I’m trying to say is, we find ways to get it done.”
If BPIT is to continue its league dominance the responsibility will surely fall on its core of players, but the burden will have to be shared by the newcomers. Calcano’s departure has triggered a defensive rotation that results in Barbara, an outfielder from last year, moving to shortstop, newcomer Brian Mickelson, a pleasant surprise, moving to third, and James Heine who will rotate into left field to replace Eric Svendsen. But certain questions do remain—how will the Bombers manufacture the production lost and who is going to play right-center field?
“I think we have some answers, but you don’t really know until the product is on the field,” reigning Cy Young award winner Ian Gold said. “We’ve had a couple practices, and I certainly like what we’ve seen. The league may not have been aware, but our AAA squad was strong last year. There were a couple moves we could have made at last year’s deadline, but we value our young talent, and that should pay dividends this year.”
Part of the youth movement that Gold spoke of includes talented call-ups Gary June 14th, Nicole Sam, and Ashlee Bradbury. June will have plenty to say about the right-center position, and Sam and Bradbury should be platooning at second base and right-field but one thing is clear, they all can hit and Sam, especially, can run.
“We all know that we’ve joined a Class A organization,” Sam said. “When you join the Bombers you know you’re going to work hard, win, and then play hard. I run a sub 4.6 40 yard-dash and I pull my weight at the after party—lets just say I had plenty of suitors, I picked BPIT because of the culture. We plan to uphold our end of the bargain.”
The Bombers will get their first test of the season tomorrow when they square off against SSA in Park Ridge, NJ. For those interested in getting directions or attending the game please contact Ian Gold, until Sally Yagan takes over her duties as Fan Queen. Below is this year’s regular season schedule:
