Team Lautenberg may have handled U.S. Rep Rob Andrews (D-1) in the Democratic Primary, but the bats of U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell’s (D-8) Silk City Sluggers proved too much for the senatorial nine last night in Clifton.
Pascrell’s gang defeated Team Lautenberg 7-3 at Sperling Park.
Lautenberg pitcher Steve Lenox worked some guile on the mound, and centerfielder Michael Pagan pulled some bang-up plays, but ultimately to no avail.
Silk City manager and third baseman Fahim Abedrabbo of Clifton homered for the Paterson diehards, as did former Pascrell field rep. and current Lautenberg aide/team manager Michael Venezia of Bloomfield.
Following the loss, Team Lautenberg called for a rematch, which is currently being scheduled, according to Pascrell press secretary Caley Gray.
Silk City’s next game is on Sunday against the Passaic Housing Authority. Encouraged by what they did to Team Lautenberg, they are scheduling more "intra-league" games with other Congressional offices.
