Marc Anthony’s Painting Rolls Past Ultra Graphics

Kevin Smith - 11-12 Baseball League Director

June 15, 2013

PARMA HEIGHTS – Timely hitting and dominating pitching is a key to winning.

Factor in some stellar fi elding just for kicks as Marc Anthony’s Painting rolled past

Ultra Graphics 6-1 on Saturday night at Kurtz Park.

“We’re a good, solid hitting team,” said Marc Anthony’s Painting manager Marc

Skory. “As long as the kids stay focused and hit the ball we’ll be right there in all

of the games. That’s what wins games, hitting and pitching.”

Marc Anthony’s Painting struck fi rst in the bottom of the fi rst inning with three

runs. John Hoehn clubbed a double to left fi eld which plated Justin Haverdill.

Brandon Skory followed suit with a double to left to bring in Hoehn. Brady

Karpus reached on a throwing error which brought Skory in to score.

The three runs were all Marc Anthony’s Painting would need on the night as the

pitching stole the show. Skory pitched three perfect innings while fanning eight

of the nine batters he faced. J. Haverdill added three innings of work while only

scattering two hits.

Not to be outdone was the pitching by Ultra Graphics. Starter Neil Szymanski

struck out fi ve in his three innings of work while Kevin Ivancic mowed down four

batters.

Marc Anthony’s Painting added another run in the bottom of the third. Aaron

Kozickie started it off with a walk, stole second and scored when Skory mashed a

triple down the left fi eld line.

Ultra Graphics fi nally found some off ensive rhythm in the fourth inning. Wayne

Grindle walked to start the inning before coming around to score on a Jeff Kubes

single down the left fi eld line. Ivancic added a opposite fi eld single later in the

inning for Ultra Graphic’s second and fi nal hit of the contest.

Marc Anthony’s Painting added two insurance runs in the bottom of the fi fth

inning with two outs. After Tyler Wallace struck out and Robert Manaci

grounded out to Ivancic the big bat came out when Hoehn blasted his second

extra base hit of the game which plated J. Haverdill and Kozickie.

The game also saw several big defensive plays.

In the top of the fourth inning, Ultra Graphic’s Kubes was gunned down at the

plate when Skory relayed Kozickie’s thrown to Hoehn. Later in the game Skory

fl ipped to Cody Chervenak who forced David Hrusovsky out at third base.

On the other side of the fi eld Ultra Graphics’ Lance Kopp caught J. Haverdill trying

to stretch a single into a double in the third inning.

Ultra Graphics catcher Andrew Straub and fi rst baseman Ryan Holland

combined for 13 putouts.

The start of the game did not look promising for a bit due to a slight drizzle

throughout the early evening but Ultra Graphics’ manager Ken Ivancic was glad

to get the game in as it was already a make-up game from Monday’s rain.

“It was good though,” said Ivancic. “We got it in today. I thought for sure we’d get

rained out.”

Tommy Dotson, Dominic Kucera and Austin Legg also played in the game

for Ultra Graphics but did not record a hit. Likewise for Jaydon Coyne and Chris

Haverdill for Marc Anthony’s Painting.

Ryan Dowdy and Giovanni Tabasso are also members of Ultra Graphics while
