GAME HIGHLIGHTS: Score ended in a 14-14 tie, but great hitting from John who had two mammoth home runs. Steve, just coming from a football game, also hit a dinger. Chase did a nice job pitching in his debut at the pony dimensions. Scott stole home on a nice bit of base running. 

-- Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: Close for most of the game until the 7th. Bryan made his pitching debut at Pony, and to quote his catcher Scott, "He had good stuff." Mark had an impressive debut as well giving the Yankees a lefty to go to. Solid hitting by all, with the Tower brothers getting into the act. Defense showed up as well with the first double play for the Yankees to squelch an A's rally. 

-- Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: The Glenview 10 Dodgers 1-0 over Glenview 2 Yankees in a genuine pitchers' duel. The game went down to the final out in this brief, hour-and-a-half thriller. The solitary run scored was unearned, and unofficially there were a total of four hits in the game. Defense was the name of the game, with Bryan taking a sure base hit and run away from the Dodgers with a great play at shortstop.

-- Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: A rematch of the September 7th 14-14 tie with the Bulldogs, this game was much closer than the score would indicate. The Bulldogs hopped on the Yankees in the first inning, scoring six runs off only three hits and five errors. After the first inning, the Yankees settled down and played excellent baseball against a strong Bulldogs offensive team. Despite four Yankees batters getting nailed at the plate by errant pitches, the resilient Yankees still managed nine hits off the Bulldogs' pitching staff. JohnB. went four-for-four with two RBI, and Jim and MattM. both went two-for-three. MattM. was brilliant on the basepaths, racking up five legitimate stolen bases. Phil got an RBI on a sacrifice.

-- Bulldogs Coach Tom Kendall, for Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: The Yankees had too much pitching for the Glenview 1 Rockies. There were at least six well hit balls up the middle that both team's pitchers made outstanding plays on. B.Scherer had a few that saved hits. J.Britva had an unusual time at the plate going hitless, but after a walk, stole second, then came all the way home on a failed pick-off attempt at second. Thank you to Marty and Colin who helped us field enough to start.

-- Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: Game started right as the cold front hit at 3:00 PM. Evanston got off to an early lead that they never gave up by combining some timely hitting and three errors by the Yankees in the first inning. Climbing an uphill battle the whole game, Glenview got within three runs behind JimM.'s three RBI and ScottMc.'s four-for-five hitting. Marty M. pitched two solid innings and MichaelM. had two good plays behind the plate. SteveM. looked sharp pitching as well. Michael T. made a clutch running catch in right field, but the play of the game was made by the Evanston left fielder who ran down a shot by Marty M. that was sure to be extra bases. We really enjoyed playing Evanston ...good coaches and good sportsmanship from their players. 

-- Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: Despite a tremendous effort to come back from an early deficit, we just couldn't overcome the quick departure of #1 fan Mrs. McGivern after the first inning. The game featured three great rundowns, a borrowed player from the other team throwing out one of their own at first from right field, some good hitting from J.Meeder and B.Scherer, three walks and two runs scored by B.Tower and a steal of home by J.Britva.

-- Mike Tower for Coach Brian McGivern

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: The season ended on a winning note with the Yankees winning 15-5 over the Morton Grove Athletics. Winning with only eight players was truly a team effort with many contributing. 

     Of most importance was the hitting of Phil who smacked a dinger, the run scoring of Mark and Scott (four each), and the timely hitting of Chase and Steve. The pitching of Bryan and Steve was outstanding as well as the catching of Scott and Phil. Scott threw out two would-be base stealers and Phil one. 

     There was much to be remembered positively in this, our final game of Fall Ball. Many thanks go out to the players who gave their effort as well as the parents who got them to the games. Special thanks to the football players and parents who rushed the players off the football field and onto the diamond. More thanks to Dr. Marinelli who helped on the book, and Mike Tower who was there in a pinch to coach. Special thanks to players MartyM. and Michael M., who played for us during the season as well as for their own team. Finally, thanks, Steve Molitor. Again it was fun to coach with you and have our sons play together.
