Twins Cardinals game at Legion Field in Albany got started lst night but never made it to an official game. Rain, lightning delays, and more rain.and darkness finally made the field unplayable. The two teams will meet for a double header under artificial light in beautiful Kingston this Friday even...
C-Diamond has cancelled the 55 game between the Yankees and Whiz for tonight 7/18 . Lots a luck trying to get these in. We need another week or so added on.
I was looking at our league rules and there appears to be a change to the mercy rule in the 55 division. As per rule 7-4 the mercy rule was changed from 10 runs to 12 runs effective 7/11/2017. I am not sure if all the managers are aware of this. If someone could verify this it would be good to know for the rest of...

The good news is: Tonight's ball game between the Peppers and the Marlins has been moved to Watervliet High School. The bad news: We are about 15 minutes from getting swamped by another rain storm!
... POSTPONED and tentatively rescheduled for Thursday July 27 at New Scotland. I say tentatively because we have to secure the site through John Reel first. But the date is firm. We will find a field for that day. jk
The 55 Yankees beat the Twins last night 14-8 at New Scotland. Both teams hit well with the Yanks collecting 13 hits and the Twins 13 . However, the deciding factor was 6 very poorly timed errors by the Twins giving the Yankees 12 unearned runs while 7 of the 8 Twins runs were earned. No lie. The Twins were u...
I'd like to thank Jim Bonaparte, Rob Currier, the players and the umpires for everything they did today to get this game in. Upon arrival at C Diamond at 8:45 AM, I found the gate locked and a large pool of standing water at third base. B diamond was even worse. Had to initially call the umpires to cancel th...
If the Peppers face the Whiz again this year, we'll begin by tying their shoelaces. The Whiz scored early fast, posting 7 runs in the first inning on their way to a 15-1 mercy-ruled victory at Watervliet High on Friday night. Jim Preller pitched well for the Whiz, allowing 4 hits over 4 innings, while st...
The Marlins were boosted by a cameo appearance by Randy Craft, on short visit from his home down in God's waiting room. He didn't wait long to make an impact. In bottom of the 1st with the Americans up 1-0, Randy plated two Marlins with booming 2-RBI double. It would have been a 3-run homer if the whole fen...
Yankees lose 4-2 at B diamond on a 2 run Hr call off a tree branch hanging over the field. during the ground rules it was stated if the ball hits the branch in the air would be a HR. BUt in retrospect 1 the ball was going to go foul, 2 wasn't going to get over the fence anyways, so I think we could revisit the rulin...
The Whiz withstood a challenge from a shorthanded (9 players) and bruised Twins team and came away with a 6-2 win at Satellite Thursday evening. The score was 1-0 Whiz after one, who proceeded to score 4 more in the top of the 3rd to make it 6-0. The Twins plated 2 in the bottom of the third with Wayne Nichol...
A well pitched game by both sides 0-0 in the 4th , when the only mistake the warriors pitcher made on a 0-2 pitch was a high fastball to bob Altobelli and he didn't miss it, hit a 2 run home run off the new scoreboard, so put the first dent into it. Yanks would plate another run make it 3-1 , warriors run came on a...
