STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A year ago, a lawyer garnered national attention — and some scorn — when his client attained a $125,000 settlement after suing the New Springville Little League and Little League Baseball because her son was hurt sliding into second base.

Now, in a double header of sorts, attorney Alan C. Glassman is seeking compensation for another Little Leaguer allegedly injured in games played here in 2007 and 2009.

His client, Eltingville resident Carolyn Twohig, has sued Little League Baseball Inc., the Great Kills Little League and the New Springville Little League in two separate actions.

Ms. Twohig contends her son, then 10, was hurt in 2007 when hit by a batted ball while pitching in a Great Kills Little League game. The contest was being improperly played on a girl’s softball field where the pitcher’s mound wasn’t the regulation distance from home plate for a Little League game, she maintains.

Ms. Twohig is also suing for injuries that Stephen, then 12, allegedly suffered last year while sliding into third base during a game at the New Springville Little League field.

The Twohigs allege the boy wasn’t properly taught how to slide and that the base, upon contact, did not "pop up" or "break away" from its anchor.

The lawsuits, recently filed in state Supreme Court, St. George, seek unspecified monetary damages.

Reached by telephone on Monday, Glassman declined comment on the actions.

Just over a year ago, the Lynbrook, L.I.-based attorney achieved a six-figure settlement for former New Springville Little Leaguer Martin Gonzalez, who made allegations similar to the Twohigs’ current claims.

The boy, then 12, tore up his knee sliding into second base in a 2004 league game. His mother, Jean Gonzalez, maintained he hadn’t been taught the correct sliding technique and that the base didn’t detach on contact.

The Gonzalezes sued the New Springville Little League, Little League Baseball and the boy’s manager and a coach.

In the latest cases, the Twohigs allege Stephen was first hurt on June 23, 2007, in a Great Kills Little League game.

While pitching, he was struck in the face and right eye by a batted ball.

The Twohigs contend the contest was being played on a girls’ softball field where the 35-foot distance between home plate and the pitcher’s mound was nine feet shorter than the standard Little League field.

Stephen, who Advance records indicate played and pitched this past summer for JBI Baseball in the Babe Ruth Interleague Prep, suffered "serious" injuries. The boy, now 13, subsequently underwent "surgeries," although court papers don’t specify the procedures.

The resulting lawsuit names the Great Kills Little League, league President Frank J. Cambria and Little League Baseball Inc. as defendants.

The boy was hurt again on June 1, 2009, said court papers.

The youngster, still a member of the Great Kills Little League, was playing a game at the New Springville Little League field.

He hit a ball and began running the bases. On his coach’s direction, he slid into third base and was hurt when the bag didn’t "‘pop up,’ ‘break away’ or disengage from its base," said court papers.

Mrs. Twohig alleges her son, suffered "serious" injuries, which required physical therapy. Again, the injuries aren’t specified.

The Great Kills and New Springville Little Leagues are named defendants along with Little League Baseball and the coach, identified in court papers as "John Doe."

Cambria and Louis Mojica, New Springville’s president, did not immediately return messages left Monday seeking comment.

Steven Barr, a Little League Baseball spokesman, declined comment Monday, saying the organization doesn’t discuss pending litigation.
