    Village Idiots hold on to Win 11-10; Improve to 3-0!

    By VI Sports Insider | May 18, 2010

    espo Last season it was a walk-off one run win for the Idiots.  This season, the VI led throughout the game and held on for another one run win over the Beach House 11-10.  Not only do the Idiots spend a lot of time and money in the Beach House bar during the year, they now have bragging rights once again.The Idiots got on the board first with Tommy Weber connecting on a two-run homer for the early 2-0 lead.  The Beach House came back to tie it in the bottom half but the VI rallied to get four runs in the second inning.  Making his second consecutive start on the mound, Steve Esposito helped himself out belting a three-run homerun to leftfield and two batters later Chris Lang hit a solo homer to put the Idiots up 6-2.

    The Beach House trimmed the VI lead to 6-4 heading into the fourth inning.  With two on and two out, Lang delivered a RBI single to make it 7-4.  Second baseman Tom Stanley would follow Lang with a RBI single of his own for another important two out run putting the Idiots ahead 8-4.   Once again the Beach House chipped away at the lead and scored three runs in the 5th inning making it 9-7 with two innings to play.  In the top of the 6th, Stanley and Weber hit back-to-back RBI singles with two outs to bring home two important insurance runs.  Trailing 11-7, the Beach House rallied to score three runs over the next two innings but some solid defense and Esposito settled down on the mound to hold on for an 11-10 win.  Esposito won his second game on the mound to improve to 2-0 with a 14.25 ERA.  Esposito and Weber led the Idiots with 3 RBI’s a piece.

    The Village Idiots (3-0) will try and make it two for two on the week as they take on Sutton Place on Wednesday night at 7:00pm.  Last season the VI won the only matchup between the two teams.  The front office is hoping that the early start Wednesday night will bring out the Village Idiot fan base and pack the bleachers; also the 7 pm start gives the Idiots plenty of time for post-game interviews, autographs and beers!
