Who & Knowlton?
April showers usually bring May flowers, but unfortunately those showers extended to plague June with miserable waterlogged weather and three consecutive rainouts. The sun gods finally shone down brightly on Fleishman-Hillard yesterday, however, and FH trounced H&K in a 16-3 romp that featured a number of fresh faces. The freshest face of all was the new team mascot, Mr. and Mrs. Coach’s most recent addition to the family, Frank the pug.
Summer interns Dave Forman, Ellen Black, Stefanie Litman, and Laura DeSantis provided spirit, tenacity and heavy bats all throughout the game. Black and Litman talked a big game all week leading up to Thursday’s game, while Forman and DeSantis took the more humble approach; all four proved to be true diamonds in the rough.
Forman kept his eyes open in left field for the first half of the game and was the ideal designated hitter in the final innings, going two for three at bat with three RBIs, two runs, and an inside the park homerun that sent the place into a frenzy. Black scored a run during her only at bat, splitting the catching duties with Amanda Schildt, while Litman and DeSantis dominated second base during their respective shifts. DeSantis also earned a run and brought one home between her two times at the plate.
FH also had two guest appearances from our extended family and friends. Callie Baum and Jen Anderson of VOX fame were great additions to the squad, between Baum’s 3-for-4 performance and Anderson’s RBI single in the fifth inning. Former intern Amanda Schildt was her usual rock-solid self, chipping in with two hits, sterling defense at catcher, and rides to the field.
Silvio Marcacci (2-for-4, 1 run, 2 RBIs) and Craig Paridy (4-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI) both produced big offensive numbers while also splitting time pitching a gem on the mound. Will Sullivan’s glove was a magnet for the ball at third base, as he made two acrobatic diving catches in a row in the third inning.
Jason Werden had a banner day, going 4-for-4 with three RBIs and one standout defensive tag-team play from right field with David Wickenden to throw out an advancing runner at second base in the fourth inning. Jon Berke, Mahesh Subramanian, Lowen Baumgarten, and Matt Navitsky (who kept up the newly formed tweeting tradition) had six hits and four runs between them.
After Thursday’s 32-hit showing, FH has adrenaline pumping and ice water flowing through their veins. The good weather and good fortune are here to stay, so come enjoy a night out with your fellow FHers as they take on arch-rival Edelman next Thursday, July 2.
