Tournament jitters, cobwebs, breaking the ice.... I do not know what to call it but the Mustangs pitcher was not overpowering and yet we could not string the hits together within an inning to pull off game one. Curt Tucker lead off the game with a double to right and we left him stranded. Don Ball got a sin...
It never gets easier to write this post. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Cubs did not win the final. The Puerto Rico Athleticos completed an improbable 3 game sweep of of the top 3 seeds. After beating the defending champs in the quarter finals, the A's came back from 6 runs down against the numb...
Well the Cinderella run ended today for the Albany yankees. We ran into the 7 seed dragons, they played the early game and the pitcher who threw a DH yesterday the first game today and 9 innings of our game ( HE SWAM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL 3x in 12 hours in 53 degree water. AMAZING !! Yankees couldnt put it toge...
Both teams entered the game after playing 9 innings in 87 degree heat with high humidity. The carrot of being just one win away from being in the championship game made all of the fatigue and pain disappear for 3 hours. The Cubs again jumped out on top, in the 1st inning. This time a base running mistake tu...
The Cubs bats stayed hot in game one of the playoffs, as they pounded out 20 hits and 16 runs, in a 16-7 quarterfinal win. The Cubs got on the board first again, with 4 runs in the first. Scott Ross, Dave Mitchell, Ron Lochner, Jerry Rosen, Dean Little, and Darrell Duncan all had hits in the rally. Lochner,...
The Cubs will roll into the playoffs tomorrow, off of an impressive 22-3 rout of the Tri-state (Triad) Titans. The Albany team finished pool play at 4-1, with a tournament low 15 runs given up in 5 games. The game was never in doubt as the Cubs erupted for 5 runs in the first inning, and 6 more in the second....
Final game of pool play matched us up against the Atlanta giants. A previous fall classic championship team a few years ago and always a tough game between the two teams. Giants jump out to an early 3-0 lead took it to 4-0 in the 5th. Carlos Espada got his Florida pitching debut holding the Giants off bala...
Today was the grueling double header day. With having to play the Ct top hats who were 3-0 first game Yankees were on the road and didnt take long for the bats to start rolling. With some solid starting pitching from Earl our Dallas teammate pitched some solid innnings to get us thru to mid game tiring a li...
This is a first for me! Being on a team that beats a team from Puerto Rico is definitely a first for me. The Cubs handed the ball to Jimmy Konstantakis to hopefully get 5 or 6 innings of solid pitching, and then we would "piece together" the back half of the game, depending on the game situation. Jimmy start...
WE were proud in hearing of the 55 team getting their victory and we are trying to show what ALBANY Ny teams have to offer, the 45s div Yankees played the bux mont cubs and those boYS CAN plain out hit unfortunately for them the albany yankees play some stellar defense. Snagging ground balls and line driv...
The story of today's game starts with Albany's outstanding pitching. Bob Bolt saw his first action of the tournament (and it won't be his last) in starting game three against a tough NJ Reds line up that came into the game undefeated (including a game one win over Puerto Rico). He was masterful, going 5...
The Cubs bounced back in a big way in game two of the Fall Classic, this morning. Ronnie Mazz, got the start and pitched 4 innings, giving up just one run, on 4 hits, and no walks, while striking out 3. The Cubs offense supported Ron with 2 runs in the 1st, 2 runs in the 2nd, and 3 runs in the 3rd. With a 7-1 lead,...
On a brutally hot day feels like 90 degrees playing our stadium game at the new Astros /National spring training complex I KNOW WE ARE STRUGGLING BUT ARE DOING OUR BESt TO COPE WIth THE CONDITIONS HAHA . Its a struggle. We were the home team and we held Pa Bombers at bat for 6 innings we put a 4 spot in the firs...
