had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 but Palmview rallied with two runs in the fifth and added three insurance runs in the seventh for a 6-2 victory Friday in the first game of the Pony League World Series at Lew Hays Pony Field “Maybe our starter can go the whole game if we don’t have those errors,” Mon Valley manager Jason Plymire said We don’t want to take anything away from Palmview They played a great game and are a good ball team Palmview will play Chinese Taipei in Game 5 this evening at 5 The result of the game between Guaynabo and Long Beach was not available at press time “We just have to get ready for the next one,” Plymire said Palmview scored its two runs in the fifth on two hits and took advantage of two Mon Valley errors in the inning Isaiah Olivarez singled to lead off the frame courtesy runner Thomas Vasquez was forced out at second base on Gael Zambrano’s grounder to shortstop Mon Valley was unable to turn the double play as the throw to first was off the mark and Zambrano raced to second He scored on Alex Leon’s double to left field to tie the game at 2-2 before Leon touched home plate when Javier Garza reached on an error for a 3-2 lead “Our bats started off a little slow with it being the first game of the tournament but the guys throw like they have done multiple times this year,” Palmview manager Ramiro Leon said but allowed three runs (one earned) on six hits over six innings “Cam did a great job for us,” Plymire said “We wanted to use him today to get the win Palmview added three insurance runs in the top of the seventh when Zambrano walked and scored on Leon’s double to centerfield Garza followed with a towering home run to right field for a 6-2 advantage Leon won the individual home run derby Friday morning Noah Cortez earned the pitching victory after allowing one unearned run on one hit over 3 ⅓ innings pitched Alex Bocanegra had the rare four strikeouts in an inning when Mon Valley’s Braylon Schoch reached first base after a passed ball in the seventh but his next strikeout was recorded to end the game Mon Valley took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second when Kennedy Nash struck out but sprinted to first base on a passed ball before advancing to third on Demaris Tolliver’s single to right field and scoring on Schoch’s double to left field Palmview tied the game in the third when starting pitcher Edgar Quintanilla doubled to centerfield to lead off the frame and scored on Garza’s base hit to right field with two outs Mon Valley regained the lead in the fourth on some aggressive base running as Jack Crovak struck out and reached first on a wild pitch before Matusik reached on an error Matusik was forced out at second on Nash’s grounder to shortstop but Nash beat out the throw to first to avoid the double play Crovak stole home as a result of a double steal as Palmview catcher Isaiah Olivarez threw down to attempt to gun down Nash who had attempted to swipe second for a 2-1 lead “We try to win in all aspects,” Plymire said “We don’t have just one guy that hits home runs or just one pitcher to do things our speed and have everyone do their job.” Quintanilla yielded one run (none earned) on two hits over 2 ⅔ innings but was relieved after throwing 52 pitches “We will be ready for tomorrow,” Ramiro Leon said and Chinese Taipei has been the best in this tournament.” Palmview’s Arnoldo Soliz was the runner-up That’s how Adrianne Gerard describes the Practical Magic Kitchen a new innovative culinary concept aimed at improving resident quality of life and access to tasty The concept won the grand prize of $15,000 at the Volunteers of America Annual Futures Fund Pitch Competition to bring the idea of incorporating special cooking techniques like molecular gastronomy to life transforming weekly resident cooking classes and introducing exciting flavors Gerard is the memory support manager at Palmview at Gulf Coast Village in Cape Coral She and her colleagues came up with the idea for the Practical Magic Kitchen last Valentine’s Day when some residents couldn’t participate in tasting chocolate covered strawberries due to dietary restrictions including those who require a mechanical soft texture and those on puree diets “We wanted to find alternatives that went beyond milkshakes and ice cream…options that were visually appealing and impactful,” said Gerard That’s when they discovered molecular gastronomy which incorporates science and art to transform the presentation and function of a dish “Since one of our residents is a former rocket scientist and we have several amazing cooks and artists we thought this would be a great opportunity to increase resident engagement in our weekly cooking classes,” said Gerard Thanks to a partnership with local restauranteur Greg Gebhard of Nice Guys Pizza in Cape Coral an impressive menu of molecularly modified foods were presented to residents including: Mom’s Molecular Meatloaf with French Pressed Potato “Carbonated” Watermelon with Whipped Feta and Balsamic Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs with “Caviar” and a selection of beverages Each of these dishes featured a unique twist the “caviar” was made of small balls of dill and basil and the Golden Girls Passionfruit Margarita actively billowed with smoke “We’ve added a little bit of the elements of science to the food dishes A lot of times it makes the food better,” said Gebhard Gebhard carbonated each piece of watermelon as it was presented to the residents you could actually hear the watermelon fizzing with tiny bubbles trapped inside “He’s the best of the best,” said Cindy Halvorson of Gebhard “I knew we needed someone who could think outside the box and create something special.” The event itself was a special combination of local creatives who worked together to make a true difference in the lives of Palmview residents they hope to host more tasting events for residents and families to experience the magic of the Practical Magic Kitchen
