Farside Ballbusters lays the lumber on Harambe.

      Sunday was a great day for Vinny Menechino, as he hit two home runs to carry Farside Ballbusters to a 17-4 victory over Harambe at Mama Johnson Field in just five innings.

      Ten runs in the first three innings helped Farside Ballbusters blow out Harambe. An RBI single by Mike Brizzolara during the first inning and a two-run home run by Brian Kunis in the second inning helped Farside Ballbusters put some runs on the board early.

      Mike Brizzolara recorded the win for Farside Ballbusters. He allowed four runs over five innings, striking out one, walking one and giving up seven hits.

      Brizzolara, Kunis and Menechino led the Farside Ballbusters attack at the plate. They combined for seven hits and eight RBIs.

      Anthony Marciona took the loss for Harambe. He allowed 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings, walked eight and struck out none.

      Farside Ballbusters scored seven runs in the third. Menechino started the inning with a three-run home run, scoring Petho and Dan Laterra.

      Farside Ballbusters added two more runs in the top of the fourth. Menechino's solo blast got things going. That was followed up by Steph DiRubba's single, scoring Brizzolara on the play.

      Farside Ballbusters increased their lead with five runs in the fifth, which would eventually end this one early. They’d cruise to a 17-4 victory after holding their opponent to two runs in the bottom of the fifth.
