Sports Big Train Cruises Past Vienna Big Train wins three straight to start season. LET’S TALK Real Estate By Aaron Lundmark The Almanac Photo by Harvey Levine/The Almanac The Bethesda Big Train, seen last season, is off to a 4-3 start in 2016. Abig three-run second inning and a quality start from pitcher Chris Monoco helped propel the Bethesda Big Train past the Vienna River Dogs 8-4 in Cal Ripken College Baseball League action at Povich Field on June 9. The win improved the Big Train’s record to 3-0, including victories against the D.C. Greys and the Herndon Braves. Due to Vienna’s home field being used, the River Dogs were considered the home team for this game, even though it was played on Bethesda’s field. Early in the first, Vienna was able to get a run off starter Monoco, after Will Malbon hit a leadoff double and then later scored on a Monoco wild pitch. That would set up the big second inning for the Big Train. After Justin Morris was hit by a pitch, he was driven in on an RBI single by Vinny Esposito. Then, when the Big Train got a couple more hits to load the bases, Garrett Kueber drew a walk to score a run and then Clayton Daniel ripped a two-run single, giving Bethesda a 4-1 lead. After that, Monoco shut the door. “Beginning of the game, I was a little off with my pitches — I was trying to work in and out but I was a little wild,” said Monoco. “I went in there trying to attack, get the first pitch over for strike one and try to make them get themselves out and not try and overpower anyone.” The next two innings Monoco had little trouble, breezing through the Vienna hitters, before he got more insurance in the top of the fourth as designated hitter Allen Smoot ripped an RBI double to center, chasing Vienna starting pitcher John Cerretani, who threw 3 1/3 innings, struck out one, walked three, and allowed five earned runs. Cerretani took the loss for the River Dogs. After the Big Train got another two runs to make it 7-1, Monoco induced inning-ending double plays in the next two frames to help him finish five solid innings of work. For Monoco, the offense made him comfortable on the mound by giving him the big lead. “It’s huge,” Monoco said. “After I gave up that first run in that first inning —i t’s not the best feeling. But after they gave me a few runs I feel way better knowing I can give up a run or two and they’ll be there to pick me up.” Monoco finished with the win. He threw five innings and gave up five hits, two walks, two strikeouts, and just one earned run. “Chris was loose after the first [inning],” said head coach Sal Colangelo. “After that, he was lights out.” Vienna was able to gather momentum in the bottom of the sixth as Andrew Zitel drilled a two out, 2 RBI triple to deep center and then would score on a Peter Nielson RBI single to cut the lead to 7-4. Bethesda pushed another run across with an Esposito RBI ground out to make the final score 8-4 in favor of the Big Train. “It’s always us and the Red Birds, pretty much,” said Monoco. “I expect nothing less than for us to keep winning and keep going how we are now. We can just take it one game at a time and hopefully it keeps rolling.” After starting 3-0, Bethesda dropped three of its next four games, including a 4-2 loss to the Silver Spring-Takoma T-Bolts on Monday, dropping its record to 4-3. The Big Train will host the Alexandria Aces at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 15. by Michael Matese The Luxury Home Community Modern luxury homebuyers are looking for more than just a spacious floor plan and world class amenities inside the home—today’s luxury is defined by the lifestyle and values, not just the home’s construction and its rooms! Country clubs and golf communities are two choices that have remained enduringly popular for the luxury homeowner—but the 21st century has given homeowners a diverse range of choices in defining what means luxury to the individual buyer, their lifestyle, recreation and values. Contemporary living, forward-thinking options—here’s just a sampling of the luxury lifestyle communities available for prospective home buyers to choose from: • Equestrian. Steadily gaining popularity, equestrians and horse enthusiasts are delighting in the return of the gentleman’s farm to the luxury home market. In this type of lifestyle community, elegance meets functionality in developments with riding trails and stables that carry on a noble tradition. • Vintage Luxury Homes. These communities fuse modern convenience, technological upgrades to historic constructions, blending yesterday’s charm with today’s modern amenities to perfectly balance family values, unique architecture and sumptuous living. • Aviation. Piloting communities are one of the newest types of luxury communities, with aviation enthusiasts enjoying access to private landing strips and hangars in the privacy and convenience of their own backyards. • Marinas. For those to whom the sea calls, marina communities offer boat slips, docks and wharf access to navigable bodies of water, offering homeowners the ultimate in luxury— waterfront living and the convenience of a marina without surplus fees or excess travel time. • Private Reserve. For the greenwise homeowner, nature lover or ecologically-minded home buyer, private reserve communities offer the experience of living on open-space acreages with an abundance of protected natural life, strict regulation of urban sprawl and the conveniences and amenities associated with upscale living—camping, if you will, luxurystyle!
