SHOOK, BARBERO LEAD ATHLETICS TO 6-1 VICTORY OVER DREYER
The three-time defending State champion Albany Athletics (15-2 league/17-5 overall) got a complete-game three-hitter from right-hander Jim Shook and a grand slam from Dan Barbero to return to its winning ways with a 6-1 win over Dreyer Boyajian. Just a day earlier the Athletics had their 14-game league win streak snapped with a 3-2 loss.
 
Shook threw his 5th complete game of the year and had 10 strikeouts enroute to his 5th win of the season while Barbero hit an RBI groundout to tie the game 1-1 in the first inning, then in the third inning hit his grand slam to extend the Athletics lead to 6-1. John Marcella contributed three singles and an RBI in the first inning and Craig Mastroianni recorded a pair of singles in the attack.
