BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Pee Wee Castro recovered from cramps overnight and jumped on everything defending champ Tyree Bastidas hit in the singles final to win two close games. "It's been 10 years since my singles final and I hope to slam later today, just as I did then," Castro said.
Castro came up short in the doubles, losing with Willie Polanco to former champs Cesar Sala and Joe Kaplan in an 11-8 tiebreaker.
Sandy Ng pulled off the slam in the Women's Open, teaming Danielle Daskalakis to defeat Theresa Haley and Maggie Crespo in another final tiebreaker, (18), 15, 2.
Overnight rain had the first two masters doubles playing at the HES with Sal Cataudell and Steve Kraft earning the 65 title and Carmine Bellissimo and Tony D'Auria winning their third 70-plus title.

I think, though, even without consultation with our esteemed Commissioner and Hall of Fame player, that he would agree with me when I refer to Charlie Danilczyk as the “Dean of One-Wall Handball” for his longevity in the sport and his highly intelligent views of how the game should be played.
