The season didn't end the way we hoped, but it was a beautiful day for baseball and it was good to see Matt Benedetti back in action after his bout with "mono". The game didn't lack for excitement as Summit fought to the bitter end. Down 11-6 entering the 7th inning Summit managed to bring the tying run to the plate. With the bases loaded in the 7th, and two out, Mike Nelson ripped a shot to left that looked like a sure hit. but it hung up in the wind just enough to allow the left fielder to end the game.

Summit scored two runs in the 1st inning with back-to back doubles by Ryan Carey and Matt Benedetti. An error by the third baseman on a ground ball by Adam Breene allowed Benedetti to score. Another run was added in the 3rd inning when Jon Campagna registered a two out single and stole 2nd base. The Parsippany 1st baseman missed the throw on Nick Monaco's ground ball and an alert Campagna, recognizing there was no one available to cover home plate, raced home to score. One more was added in the 4th when Breene led off with a double, the first of his 3 hits, moved to 3rd on a ground out and scored on a wild pitch. Carey and Benedetti started the 5th with back to back singles and advanced to 2nd and 3rd on a ground ball. Carey scored on Monaco's ground out and Benedetti came home on a single by Breene.

A golden opportunity was lost in the 6th inning when Paul Krupa got things started with a double and Chris Kaiser singled. A wild pitch moved Kaiser to 2nd, so Summit had two runners in scoring position with no outs and the top of the order coming up. But the inning ended with no runs. Summit's last chance came in the 7th. After one out, Monaco drew a walk and Breene singled to move Monaco to 3rd base. After a 2nd out, the Parsippany pitcher balked and Monaco scored. A walk to Krupa kept things alive, and when Kaiser was hit by a pitch the bases were loaded. But it ended there.
