Well, you begin with a slow offensive start, mix in a few walks, some loose defense, some utter strangeness, and some off-the-wall umpiring, and you have yourself a nice recipe for a loss. And so it was, as the Senators fell to the Moorestown Marlins by a 12-11 score. No Senator could manage more than one hit off Marlin pitching, though everyone in the lineup save one did get a single safety.
Next up is a Mother's Day road trip to the friendly, but distant, confines of Patty Bowker Field to face the Tigers. John DiPietro will have the starting nod, and I will use the bullpen as needed. I have been told that Ken Bevenour, Dale Amos, and Bill Alvaro will not be there Sunday. If anyone else is not coming, I need to know as soon as possible. The tentative lineup:
1. Alessandrini-CF
2. Lawrence-SS
3. Izzi-1B
4. McAllister-3B
5. Toth-EH
6. Reader-C/LF
7. Frese-EH
8. Kulikowski-EH/RF
9. Amos-C/EH
10. Rose-EH
11. Trotman-2B Lineup always subject to change for various reasons, of course. Batting practice Thursday at the varsity field as usual.![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/96/967460/original/e537e0e4-9c4f-4c42-abcc-004a33302441.jpg)

The Senators first MVP in the year 2002 was catcher Dan Laudisio. Danny has a stellar year defensively, and hit a lusty .341 with 15 hits and an On-Base Percentage of .383. He also added five stolen bases to the mixture.![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/96/967460/original/258f1622-0dca-4649-a11f-435d88d9b4f8.jpg)

The 2003 Senator Most Valuable Player was shortstop Joe Santone. Big Six pounded it out at a .365 clip with a .519 Slugging Percentage and a .431 On-Base Percentage. He added eight RBI, five doubles and four stolen bases, and played the best shortstop in the league.![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/96/967460/original/fd571024-0eb4-402f-85f1-49b2b3b71ea6.jpg)

For the second consecutive season, shortstop Joe Santone was named Senator Team MVP. Joey batting .381, pounded three home runs and two doubles, and had a then team record 18 RBI. He also stole four bases and again played great defense at short.![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/96/967460/original/a3f46d0f-a88c-45c2-80df-78d5fc4d591c.jpg)

The Senator MVP for 2005 was first baseman Frank Izzi. Despite being hampered by a pulled groin all year long, and by a gimpy knee in the latter stages of the season, all the big lefty did was bat .545 with a team record 20 RBI and six doubles. His On-Base Percentage was .592, and his Slugging Percentage was .727. This was one of those rare seasons when you just KNEW this guy was going to get a hit when one was needed. And that's how you win championships!![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/96/967460/original/6febc858-1041-4e3e-86d9-154335d561cb.jpg)
