The Hampton Whalers were officially the home team, but the Sound Bay Battlecats and their starting pitcher, Bret Moyer, clearly had the hearts of many of the several hundred fans who turned out for the showcase game between the two summer league baseball teams composed of college players. Moyer, whose trademark high leg kick brings his left knee to within inches of his head, made his first pitching performance on the North Fork in four years a memorable one. The right-hander pitched seven scoreless innings before being relieved in the Battlecats' 11-1 win at Jean W. Cochran Park on Friday night. http://www2.timesreview.com/NR/stories/R072408_BMMBBASKET_CA While the Bishop McGann-Mercy Monarchs have had a disappointing record this summer in the Butch Dellecave Boys' Basketball League, Monarchs Coach Mike Clauberg said that what he is most disappointed in is the inconsistency his team has shown. The Monarchs dropped a pair of games last week to fall to 0-7. On July 15, the Southampton Mariners beat them, 54-33, at Patchogue-Medford High School, and two nights later, the Monarchs lost to the Sayville Golden Flashes, 48-35. http://www2.timesreview.com/NR/stories/R072408_AUTO_BL RIVERHEAD--Overcoming an early-race skirmish, Jimmy Blewett of Howell, N.J., made a thrilling pass for the lead with five laps to go before winning the fourth annual Baldwin, Evans & Jarzombek 77 Memorial on Saturday night at Riverhead Raceway. Chuck Steuer was leading the race and looking as if he would win the event for the second year in a row when he suffered a flat tire, forcing him to the pit area during a caution flag with just six laps to go. http://www2.timesreview.com/NR/stories/R072408_FISHING_MG Charlie Caraftis at the Mattituck Fishing Station and Marina on Mattituck Inlet said that scup fishing was still very good with some 2 1/2-pounders in the mix. The porgies seem to have moved into deeper water and you have to pick through smaller ones to get the jumbos, but there are occasional sea bass as well. Fluke sizes are smaller in the last couple of days, but the striper fishing remains good on daytime tides around Hortons Point whenever the boat traffic is thin. Bunker chunks can produce some big bass well over 30 pounds, but other fish take these baits, too.
