Slow-Pitch Playoffs

    Bostwick’s, the pre-eminent team in the East Hampton Town women’s slow-pitch softball league, remained undefeated, at 10-0, as it notched two first-round playoff wins over the Police Benevolent Association this past week. The heavy hitters were Katie Osiecki, who had a home run and a triple in Bostwick’s 16-4 rout of the P.B.A. on July 26, Jeannie Bunce, Jeanie Berkoski, and Cathy Amicucci. Bunce tripled with the bases loaded in last Thursday’s victory.

    As of Tuesday, Bostwick’s was awaiting the outcome of the other first-round series, between second-seeded Groundworks Landscaping and third-seeded Men at Work. Groundworks won the first game; the teams were to have played the second of the best-of-three series that night.

    The men’s playoffs began Monday, with third-seeded Stephen Hand’s Equipment defeating sixth-seeded Bono Plumbing and Heating 22-3, and with fourth-seeded Uihlein’s defeating fifth-seeded Round Swamp Farm 13-12 in nine innings.

    Schenck Fuels, which dropped its season finale to The Independent by a 28-12 score (giving each team two wins in their series thus far), finished as the men’s league’s pennant winner, at 14-3, followed by Indy, at 12-5, Stephen Hand’s, at 10-7, Uihlein’s, at 9-8, Round Swamp, at 6-11, and Bono, at 0-17.

    Bostwick’s topped the women’s league, at 8-0, followed by Groundworks (5-3), Men at Work (4-4), P.B.A. (3-5), and Grazina Orthodontics (0-8).

I-Tri Party

    The Hon. John Maginley, the minister of tourism, civil aviation, and culture on the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, was the guest of honor at a party at the Breakwater Yacht Club in Sag Harbor Saturday whose proceeds benefited the I-Tri triathlon program for Springs School girls and the yacht club’s junior sailing program.

The Women’s Winner

    The women’s winner of the Hamptons Challenge two-mile ocean swim in Montauk on July 23 was Lori King, in 1 hour and 6 minutes. She was tied with Maneesh Shanbhag and Jim Clarnocki for ninth over all.

    A former Harvard miler, Amar Kuchinad, won Sunday’s Giant Steps 5K in Amagansett, and Ashley West, 16, of East Hampton, was the women’s winner, a “first” for her in this event. The road race, which benefits the Pediatric Dental Fund of the Hamptons, drew about 100 competitors, a record.

    Last year, West, who runs cross-country and track at East Hampton High School, was the runner-up to Barbara Gubbins, though Gubbins, apparently because of work, wasn’t at the starting line on Abram’s Landing Road Sunday morning.

    West’s time was 21 minutes and 22 seconds, a personal record for her on this rolling course — and good for 12th over all among the 99 finishers. Kuchinad, 37, running at a brisk 5:52-per-mile pace, crossed the line in 18:10, eight seconds ahead of the 44-year-old Mike Bahel, owner of the Body Tech fitness centers in Amagansett and Montauk.

    Kuchinad had good things to say about Bahel, the 56-year-old Mike Bottini (who placed fifth in 19:30), and West, all of whom had personal records that day, and all of whom are trained by John Conner, a former international-class miler and 800 runner who lives in Springs.

    “We were together for the first mile and change,” the winner said of the lead group, which also included Tim Donahue and Nicholas Monagan, the eventual third and fourth-place finishers. “Then he [Bahel] pulled ahead. It was a pretty fast second mile. In the hills, I squeaked by Mike and tried to hold it together for the rest of the way. These guys are fabulous.”

    When he heard Bahel was 44, Kuchinad said he hoped to be able to run as well at that age. “I love it out here,” the New Yorker continued, adding that he will do the Run for Ron 10K at Amagansett’s Fresh Pond Park this Saturday and Ellen’s Run in Southampton on Aug. 21.

    He had done the Run for Ron last year, Kuchinad said, finishing “fourth or fifth.” This had been the first time he’d done Giant Steps. “Frankly,” he said with a smile, “I was hoping the course would be flatter.”

    If it was flat he wanted, Bahel suggested he do the Shelter Island 5K on Oct. 16.

    West, who has been training with Conner this summer and with Bill Herzog, East Hampton’s former longtime varsity boys track coach, credited a pre-race talk with Conner as having enabled her to run a personal best.

    “Bill has me run at knee height in the bay and sometimes on the track he’ll have me pull a 30-pound sled,” West said, adding that she had expected Gubbins, who’s 51, but still very competitive in local races, to come Sunday. “She would have pushed me.”

    Gubbins won among the women in this race last year (and was third over all) in 19:34.

    While his 19:30 was 28 seconds faster than he’d done at the 2010 Giant Steps, Bottini said he was “still going after the elusive sub-19. . . . I think I could do it on a flat course.”

    Kuchinad said he’d run the Fifth Avenue Mile last fall in 4:51, “which I felt pretty good about until I heard a 54-year-old had done a 4:33!”

    The East Hampton Sports Camp was well represented, putting five counselors — Nick Monagan (who finished fourth in 19:17), Ben Latham, Jamie Tulp, Cory Lillie, and Miranda Lustig — on the line.

    “This is the first year they’re offering a cup to the winning camp team,” said Mark Crandall’s Sports Camp partner, Eric Scoppetta. “And we were the only camp that entered.”

    “There are no other camps,” Latham chimed in.

    Crandall, whose Hoops 4 Hope mentoring program in Zimbabwe and South Africa is to benefit from a fund-raising party “with a great African band” at the Sportime tennis club in Amagansett this Saturday, was also among Sunday’s spectators.

    On the way to the awards ceremony behind the Amagansett Firehouse, Crandall said that the organization’s Zimbabwe director, Ngoni Mukukula, would receive Hoops 4 Hope’s Ubuntu award this year, thus joining past recipients Larry Brown, Doc Rivers, and Bobbito Garcia.

    Giant Steps’ age-group winners were Evan Boccia, 7, and his sister Olivia, 9, in the 9-and-under group; John Weed and Melissa Greenblatt in the 13-to-19s; Monagan and Emily Landeck in the 20-29s; John Nehme and Deanna Angello in the 30-39s; Bahel and Kimberly McAdam in the 40-49s; Bottini and Jean Mitchell in the 50-59s, and Paul Maidment and Elizabeth Sadoff in the 60-69s.

    Maidment, who’s from East Hampton, also bettered his 2010 time that day, placing 17th over all in 22:58 (a 7:25 pace). He was overhead to say, “Just finishing is an achievement” on receiving his award.

Lifeguard Tourney

    Smith Point, as is often the case, won East Hampton’s invitational lifeguard tournament at Main Beach last Thursday, followed by Fire Island, Quantuck Beach Club, the East Hampton Town “A” team, the Southampton Town A’s, Cupsogue, the East Hampton Village A’s, the East Hampton Town B’s, the Southampton Town B’s, and the East Hampton Village B’s.

    There were only two women’s teams this year, East Hampton and Southampton, and though Skye Marigold, in the 400-meter swim, and Kira Garry, in the distance run, were first-place finishers, the Southampton women won.

    John Ryan Sr., who, with his son, John Jr., heads up the lifeguard training program here, said Monday that 36 senior lifeguards from East Hampton and about the same number of junior guards are to compete in the national lifeguard tournament in Cape May, N.J., from Tuesday through Friday, Aug. 5.

Polo Action

    White Birch easily defeated Yellow Cab in the Monty Waterbury Cup opener at Two Trees Stables in Bridgehampton Saturday afternoon. With Jake Stimmel replacing Peter Brant at number-one, White Birch jumped out to a 5-0 first-chukker lead as the result of four goals by its number-three, Mariano Aguerre, and one by Fred Mannix. It was 12-1 White Birch by halftime.

    In Monday’s games, Heathcote edged Circa 13-12, and Equuleus nosed out Certified 10-9.

    Tomorrow, Equuleus and Yellow Cab are to play at 5 p.m. On Saturday, at 4, it’s Certified and Heathcote, with Circa and White Birch to play Monday at 5.

Ocean Swim Challenge

    The Montauk Playhouse’s aquatics center fund will benefit from three ocean races to be held early Saturday morning at Montauk’s Kirk Park Beach. The one-half, one-mile, and two-mile races, to begin at 7:15 a.m., are to end at Ditch Plain Beach, to the east.

    Contestants in the event, sponsored by Kai-Kai Sandals and overseen by the East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue Squad, are to make $35 donations ($25 for those under 18 on the day of the race). Participants will receive a limited-edition T-shirt designed by Peter Spacek, The Star’s editorial cartoonist, and Dalton Portella.

Polo Season

    The Bridgehampton Polo Club is to begin its 20-goal season at Two Trees Stables Saturday. Six teams are to contest the Monty Waterbury Cup from Saturday through Aug. 13 — White Birch, Heathcote, Equuleus, Circa, Certified, and Yellow Cab.

    White Birch, whose number-three is Mariano Aguerre, a 9-goaler, won the East Coast Open in Greenwich, Conn., Sunday, defeating Heathcote 15-11. White Birch’s Fred Mannix, a 6-goaler, was the final’s M.V.P., and Serenata, ridden by Aguerre, was the best playing pony.

    Heathcote, whose team comprises Tommy Biddle (6), Naco Taverna (6), Nick Manifold (5), and Steve Lefkowitz (0), will be in the Bracket 1 pool with White Birch and Equuleus. Circa, Certified, and Yellow Cab are in the Bracket 2 pool.

    Besides Aguerre, other high-goal players in the tourney will include Tomas Garcia del Rio, an 8-goaler, of Certified, Magoo LaPrida, an 8-goaler, of Circa, and Mariano Obregon and Mariano Gonzalez, both 7-goalers, of Equuleus, and Michael Dorignac and Luis Escobar, both 7-goalers, of Yellow Cab. Games are played Saturdays at 4 p.m. White Birch and Yellow Cab are to lead it off.

July 3, 1986

    As expected, Bruce Bickford, 27, of Wellesley, Mass., Track and Field News’s top-ranked 10-kilometer runner in the world last year, won Saturday’s well-attended 10K race on Shelter Island, but not in record time as the race director, Cliff Clark, had expected.

    . . . It was the second time that Bickford had entered and won at Shelter Island. The last time was in 1981. His 28:58.06 that year stood as the course and Long Island record until 1984 when the Track Athletic Congress required Clark to lengthen the course one-10th of one percent beyond the measured distance in order to have it TAC-certified.

    John Ryan, a veteran certified lifeguard, and a trainer and Civil Service examiner of lifeguards, will launch this week an ocean safety course for 11-to-14-year-olds at East Hampton Village’s Main Beach.

July 10, 1986

    A major shift in East End high school sports schedules, grouping teams according to ability rather than enrollment, as had been the case in the past, will take place this fall.

    Richard Cooney Sr., athletic director of the East Hampton School District, and president of Conference Four, which comprises high schools largely on the East End, said the plan “is the first in Suffolk County, perhaps in the State, though Nassau has something similar. . . . We’ll be the guinea pigs. The rest of Suffolk will be looking on.”

July 31, 1986

    Sedutto’s softball team, captained by Jeff Bernstein, claimed a forfeit when Haagen-Dazs failed to show up for a game between the two East Hampton Village ice cream stores at East Hampton’s Herrick Park Tuesday morning. “They challenged us,” said Bernstein, “but obviously when it came down to it, their courage melted.”

    Not all is peaches and cream at the newly sanctioned windsurfing location at Napeague Harbor. A rubber raft used in windsurfing instruction by Seasonings was riddled with .22 caliber bullets and was sunk sometime between July 23 and last Thursday morning.

    The sniper put eight holes in the boat, which was moored in the harbor, about 150 feet from shore. Police have not found the culprit, but believe it may be a disgruntled neighbor annoyed with the windsurfing fleet.

    . . . An agreement for the new windsurfing site was reached this summer by the Town Board after regular beachgoers at Little Albert’s Landing objected to the windsurfers last year.

    Andy Neidnig of Sag Harbor, who at 67 is the South Fork’s top senior runner, won the Athletic Congress’s national 10-kilometer championship in the 65-to-69 age group at Uniondale on July 18 in 41 minutes and 57 seconds.

    It was the first time Neidnig had run on a track in 35 years, and the first time he had competed in a national masters race. He finished third over all in a field that included all male runners 60-and-over, and all women 40-and-over.

    . . . The retired steam fitter, who ran the fastest marathon in his age group in the country in 1985, a 3:24.24, finished second in his division in the national 5K race at Uniondale in 20:31, the fastest time he’s recorded in that distance this year.

    With the playoffs looming, Bostwick’s has clinched the top seed in East Hampton Town’s women’s slow-pitch softball league, and, in the men’s league, Schenck Fuels was poised to follow suit if it defeated The Independent Monday.

    Bostwick’s, whose core players — Jeannie Bunce, Jeanie Berkoski, Sue Warner, and Barbara and Lori Schultz — are aiming for an unprecedented sixth straight championship under the Bostwick’s banner, and their 16th over all under Bostwick’s and other sponsors, was at 7-0 as of Monday, having crushed the P.B.A. 18-3 in a game played at Amagansett’s Terry King ball field last Thursday, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning, two in the bottom of the second, and 13 on 13 hits in the bottom of the third.

    Schenck Fuels, which, in a well-played, homerless extra-inning game, defeated The Independent 9-7 on July 13, was at 12-1 as of Monday, followed by The Independent, at 11-5, Uihlein’s, at 7-7, Stephen Hand’s Equipment, at 6-6, Round Swamp Farm, at 6-9, and Bono Plumbing and Heating, at 0-14.

    All the men’s teams will make the playoffs, which could begin as early as Wednesday, assuming numerous rainouts will have been made up by then.

    Four of the five women’s teams will play in the postseason — Bostwick’s, Groundworks, which was 4-3 as of Monday, Men At Work (3-3), and the P.B.A. (2-4). Grazina Orthodontics, a first-year squad, was O-6, and thus out of the running.

    Rich Schneider, the leagues’ spokesman, thought as of Monday morning that Schenck’s had clinched the top seed in the men’s loop, but soon after demurred, saying that Schenck’s and Indy would wind up tied, with each at 12-5, if the Fuelmen lost Monday to The Independent in the fourth meeting of those teams and went on to lose their three remaining regular season games. However, that was unlikely, given the fact that they are to finish with Bono Plumbing tomorrow. “Then,” said Schneider, “we’d have to go to tiebreakers.”

    Going into Monday’s game, Schenck’s, a number of whose players won regional amateur baseball championships as the East End Tigers, had taken two of three from The Independent, which has been the playoff champion in four of the past five years.

    The first two games the teams played were home run derbies, but in the July 13 meeting, during which swirling winds turned the infield into a dust bowl at times, no one found the fences.

    The Independent jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning, on a two-run double by John Amicucci, who hits second in the lineup, and on a single to center field by Bill Collins, the number-three hitter, that scored Amicucci.

    Schenck’s got two back in the top of the fifth. Brendan Fennell led off with an infield single, after which Zach Brenneman, Indy’s shortfielder, failed to hang onto a sinking fly ball hit his way by Jerry Uribe.

    Mike Rodriguez then forced Uribe at second as Fennell took third, but Will Collins followed with a run-scoring single to get Schenck’s on the board. Chris O’Conner, who was batting 10th in the lineup, beat out a dribbler to load the bases with one out for the pitcher, Doug Dickson, whose sacrifice fly to left field plated Fennell with the Fuelmen’s second run. Another 6-4 force, on a ground ball hit by the leadoff hitter, Ethan King, ended the inning.

    Dickson kept the lid on in the bottom of the fifth, with Charlie Collins, Tyler Brenneman, and Peyton Kelley making outs. Then Schenck’s took a 6-3 lead in the top of the sixth, the key hits being an opposite-field r.b.i. by the left-handed Andy Tuthill, run-scoring singles by Uribe and Rodriguez, and a sac fly by Will Collins.

    The Independent had the bases loaded with two out in the bottom half, but Dickson knocked down a hard line drive hit toward him by his opposite number, Rob Nicoletti, and under-handed a toss to Fennell at first for the final out.

    Nice base-running by Ethan King, who avoided a tag on the base paths and beat a throw to third, enabled the Fuelmen to load the bases with one out in the top of the seventh. King then came home on Vinnie Alversa’s fielder’s choice grounder to second.

    Trailing 7-3, The Independent’s seventh, eighth, and ninth hitters, Herlihy, Pierce Kelley, and Charlie Collins, were due up in the bottom of the seventh. Tuthill made a diving catch of Herlihy’s liner to center field to start the inning off. But then Kelley, Collins, and Tyler Brenneman followed with successive singles, loading the bases.

    Nick Tuths, a pinch-hitter, hit a high curling foul ball off the right field line, which O’Connor dove for but couldn’t grab. Tuths’ subsequent hard-hit ground ball to short hit Collins as he was running for third. Declaring the ball dead once it had hit Collins, the umpire ordered Kelley back to third, and the bases remained loaded, this time with two outs.

    Alex Tekulsky, Indy’s hard-hitting leadoff hitter, smacked a two-run base hit for 7-5, and, after Amicucci singled to load the bases again, Bill Collins drove in two more runs with a base hit, tying the score at 7-7 with Zach Brenneman, the cleanup hitter, due up.

    With first base open, Dickson intentionally walked Brenneman, after which Barry Mackin made the last out, sending the game into extras.

    Dickson came to bat with the bases loaded and two out in the top of the eighth, but, with two strikes, drove a grounder foul of third, resulting in an inning-ending strikeout.

    Tuthill saved Schenck’s in the bottom of the eighth as, with one out and a runner on first, he made an over-the-shoulder catch of a deep fly ball hit toward the center field fence by Pierce Kelley and then rifled a throw to Fennell to double up Herlihy, who had been heading for second when the catch was made.

    The Fuelmen went up 9-7 in the top of the ninth on a run-scoring single by Tuthill with the bases loaded and one out, and on a subsequent force play that forced Tuthill at second but scored Adam Gledhill from third.

    With runners at first and second and two out in the bottom of the ninth, Dickson induced Amicucci to hit into a game-ending 6-5 force that sent the Fuelmen home winners.
