Schwaroch Chapels had their ace Dana Ferran pitching and Middle Village Republican Club had their ace Meghan Duelka on the mound. Both pitchers battled in a tough game.

Glendale Diner Devils 6, Schawaroch Chapels 5. On a beautiful spring night at RGMVM Seither Stadium, the Glendale Diner Devils faced off against their old rivals Schawaroch Chapels. This would be a battle of young windmill pitchers, Sam Stallone for the Devils and Schawaroch’s ace Dayna Ferran. Both pitchers battled through in a tough game. Schawaroch jumped ahead 5-1 on some timely hitting and great defense from shortstop Jenn Conlin and second baseman Alexandra DeMarco. But the Diner Devils would get the engine jump-started in the bottom of the fifth, as Krystil Hofmann smacked a line drive deep into center field for a triple that ignited a rally. Lucia Cappuccio and Sam Stallone walked, Melissa Endres kept up her hard hitting, driving them all in with a double.
Christina Auriammo would drive in a key run and set the table for the go-ahead run that would be driven in by Elaina. Elaina comes ready play every game and always gives it her all. Not to be lost in this game was a great defensive play in left field by Christina Auriammo, who gunned down a runner going to third to disrupt a rally. That was all that young windmill pitcher Sam Stallone would need to close it out in the sixth.
