	Game Summaries:
	Douglas VW 19, Phenomenal Boyz 1
	The Douglas crew kicked off their 2025 season with a dominant performance over the Phenomenal Boys on a beautiful night at Linden Memorial Park.

	Rocky’s Bar & Grill 13, Deegan Roofing 11
	Rocky’s Bar & Grill opened the 2025 season returning to the A division with a strong performance on defense and offense. Deegan Roofing plated 6 runs in the first inning to wake up the barmen defense which then held the Roofers to 5 runs over the next 6 innings while Rocky’s bats responded with timely hitting. Rocky’s offense had every player in the lineup with a hit led by Ellan Ben-Hayon 3-3 (3-RBI’s) and Laquan “Fu” Gray 3-4 (4RBI’s). Matt Walsh, Tom DeGregorio, Craig Weinstein, Dave Grandmaison (3B), Gary Roman, Craig Michaud and Frank Mastrocola contributed with 2 hits apiece for the victory.
	Rappa Construction 27, Sonia’s BCE 13
	Rappa Construction defeated Sonia’s 27-13 with solid hitting at the plate, solid defense in the field and spot on pitching by Dave Dudas. At the plate for Rappa Construction Anderson Monzon went 4 for 4, while Vincent Cordaro, Tim Mulhall (3 hits) and Steve D'Amato (3 hits) each hit a homerun.  Miguel Ramos, Donald Sheehy and Matt Casper contributed 3 hits apiece. Rappa’s solid defense was anchored by Tim Mulhall at short stop and Kevin Robinson in the outfield.
	Echo Tap & Grille 17, Sonia’s BCE 3
	Echo Tap & Grille jumped out to a 6-0 lead and never looked back in their 17-3 victory over Sonia’s BCE. Leading the offense for the barmen were Lloyd Haymes 3-3, Kenny Zeidner 3-3, Chris Paternostro 3-4, Dr Rob Wallace 3-3, Deuce Brown 3-3 and Greg Thomas 3-4. Dave P Handleman twirled a gem leading the grill meisters to the victory.
	Douglas VW 21, Rocky’s Bar & Grill 12
	On a very windy night at Rahway River Park, the Douglas VW boys played solid all-around versus a very determined Rocky's squad. Frank Padovano and Dan Righetti were both perfect on the night with 4 hit performances, while Lou Rivera (HR), Luke Nacca and Farlan Alusik all contributed 3 hits apiece. Also adding to the offense were Billy Buteau and Alex Diaz, each who contributed big home runs. On the hill, Rich Gaul pitched and picked up his first win of the season. Rocky's Bar & Grill started strong but couldn't maintain their lead against the 2024 Champions. Despite solid performances from Dave Grandmaison (3-4, 2 HRs, 5 RBIs), Matt Walsh (4-4), Gary Roman (3-3, 2 RBIs), Craig Michaud (2-3), and Todd O'Reilly (2-3), they fell short over the next six innings in their first loss.
	Rappa Construction 12, Phenomenal Boyz 11
	Rappa Construction defeated Phenomenal Boyz in a game that was not decided until the last innings. In the 6th inning down 9-8, Rappa's bats drove in 4 runs to take the lead into the 7th inning.  Rappa's gloves limited their opponents to only 2 runs in that final inning.
	At the plate Rappa's attack was led by Tim Mulhall 4 for 4, Joe Kilburg 3 for 3, Vincent Cordaro and Steve D'Amato 3 hits apiece, while Ray Luciano, Anderson Monzon, Matt Kasper, and Kevin Robinson added to the attack with 2 hits each.
