San Marco Merchants Association and San Marco Preservation Society squared off in a good old-fashioned rivalry softball game for bragging rights at the Hendricks Avenue baseball field last month.
The Merchants and the Residents met on the diamond on Saturday, Aug. 16 as part of the year-long community celebration, hosted by the San Marco Centennial Committee. Ultimately, the Residents won the game – and the bragging rights – in a 6-to-3 victory.
At-Large Group 4 City Council Member Matt Carlucci threw out the first pitches of the game to his sons, District 5 City Council Member Joe Carlucci and Matt Carlucci, Jr. Carlucci senior also took the first swing, officially getting the game underway.
Playing for the Merchants were Justin Preckajlo, District 5 City Council Member Joe Carlucci, Josh Franklin, Hunter Scantling, Brian Register, Chase Balanky, Matt Carlucci, Jr., Jack DeYoung, George Foote, Scott Wohlers and Daniel Hileman.
Meanwhile, the Residents team consisted of Riley Skinner, Joey Bergman, Will Reilly, Lance Stoner, Michael McGowan, Matt Little, Chris Henderson, Josh Kennedy, Andrew Day, Kyle Jenson and Matt Stupski.
