Meanwhile... The DiCuffa 5/6 team (aka The Red Hots) kept it close early against a hard-hitting Upper Saddle River squad, trailing 2-1 after two innings. However, the powerful USR bats exploded for seven runs in each of the third and fourth innings, before scoring three more in the fifth to win by mercy rule (final: 19-4). The DiCuffa team was short-handed, without one of its top pitchers, and it seemed each of the three USR pitchers threw harder than the one before.
Star of the game for Westwood: Kiki L (double and single, scored one run, one stolen base, two nice fielding plays from third base)
