BIG BLACK MACHINE RUNNING AT FULL SPEED...
SOX WIN BIG ON SATURDAY...COME UP A LITTLE SHORT SUNDAY.
The Paterson Black Sox put up another offensive explosion this weekend.  The Sox the defeated the North Bergen Bad Boys on Saturday 18-2, but lost on Sunday to the Fairview Royals 16-11.

The "
Big Black Machine" scored eighteen runs on Saturday off fourteen hits including a mamouth home run by Chris "Pretty Boy" Smith.  The Sox had an all around offensive performance with doubles by "Iron" Mike DiGiulio, Frank "The Tank" Zelaya, Joel "The Iron Horse" Gonzalez, and a triple by Scottie "Doesn't Know" Vaccaro.  However, the most notable achiever that night was Iron Mike's dominance on the mound as he went five solid innings allowing only run run off two hits while striking out nine Bad Boys.

After a big win Saturday night, the Sox went into that Sunday morning's game knowing they were playing a team that they may have to face come playoff time.  The Sox started rolling early taking an 8-3 lead by the fifth inning. 
Diego "Dominicano" Santos was taken out of the game after the sixth inning because the Royals decided to enforce their field's "NO METAL CLEATS" rule after Diego's gutty performance.  The Sox were also upset with a judgement call by the umpires that wrongfully put the Sox back on the field after the inning ended which ultimately allowed the Royals to tack on another two runs in the eighth.  The Sox lost the game upset with the fact that they caught a bad break but content because they know how well they played that morning and know things will go their way the next time they play.

The
Sox conclude the season getting a chance to finally play at their home Larry Doby Field in Paterson on Saturday versus the Bergenfield Yankees.  The Sox are anticipating another offensive explosion come Saturday and are glad that their late season success will carry them into the postseason.
