Sicily Slaps 7-1 Loss on Iceland
Sicily turned a good performance from starting pitcher Ceasario DeSanctis into a 7-1 triumph over the Iceland Aurora at Mussolini Municipal Park. With the win over Iceland, the Mafia improved to 11-13.

Luigino Spiteri, who is tied for 4th in the TOBA in doubles with 7, chipped in a 3-run home run for Sicily in the bottom of the first. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"It's a mindset," said DeSanctis. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
