Back after a week’s vacation which is usually very depressing. However I also have next week off so coming back today is not that bad, especially because I enjoyed some serious time on the 2nd Avenue Beach in Seaside Park last week. We had a few tremendous days with cool breezes off the ocean and very warm water…it was just great.
Losing their first 8 meetings of the season to the Red Sox seems like a faint memory for Yankee fans who are rightfully ecstatic after sweeping a 4-game
Series from their AL East rivals this weekend. The Yankees have opened up a 6 ½ game lead in the division and it looks like they’ll be plenty of October baseball in the Bronx.
Holbrook Little League of Jackson and host Freehold Township Little League are both 2-0 in the winner’s bracket of the 2009 Junior League Eastern Regional Little League Tournament. Holbrook rallied for a 4-3, 9-inning victory over Massachusetts Sunday while Freehold Township scored 11 runs in the 6th inning for a 22-13 win over the New York champions from Long Island. Freehold plays Pennsylvania today while Holbrook meets Maryland tonight at 7pm at Michael J. Tighe Park. The winning team in the tournament for 13 and 14 year olds advances to the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Michigan.
Former NHL standout Jim Dowd presented a check for $15,000 to the Frances Foundation for Kids Fighting Cancer before last night’s 12th Annual Shore High School All-Star Hockey Game at the Red Bank Armory. Dowd’s Shoot For the Stars Foundation once again sponsored the game which saw Ocean County snap a 7-game losing streak and edge Monmouth County 4-3. Goalies Mike Vincent of Brick Memorial and Matt Betten of Toms River North were co-MVP’s for the Ocean stars but the story continues to be Dowd’s devotion to the game and the area in which he grew up and still lives. The former Brick High School star, who played for ten teams in a long pro career, continues to shine off the ice just like he did on it.
