Playoff baseball today and we entered as the 6 seed and beat the 11seed 6-5 all teams have been very tough. The tourney this year is very strong.

It's a great pleasure to let my CDMSBL friends know that even with today's tough loss 10-2 to the US Crusiers, we did enough damage in this weeks tournament to qualify as a wild card in this weekends playoffs.

A tough day for the 56-Team Albany on Wednesday, as wilted under the hot Florida sun and dropped a pair of games to All-Star Baseball Academy and defending champion Maryland. We jumped out to a 2-0 advantage in the first inning of both games, but the leads evaporated quickly. Defense has underachieve...

I feel compelled to try to share the anxiety and emotions our Albany Capitals just experienced at our 4rth game in 3 days. I'll start in the 7th inning being down 7-4 knowing we only had time to play about 2 innings before the 3 hr time limit and having to squeeze in our 14 th batter Bobby Hiller ( by tourname...
The first two days didn't exactly go as planned for the Albany Capitals (45+) at the Fall Classic, but when the dust settled, the team was 1-2 with opportunities to move up the standings.

Don't have the scorebook in front of me, but I can tell you that a doubleheader of action in the 56-division ended with a thrilling 11-10 night game victory over the DC Express tonight. Jerry Solomon reared back to strike out the final batter of the game with the tying run on the third and the go-ahead run...
Chris Dunn pitched the best game I've ever seen him pitch and I got to watch it all from centerfield. Chris who didn't throw anything but a fastball for the first six innings was just wild enough to keep them off balance. He pitched a complete game 4 hitter as we won 3-1. We also came from behind to win our se...
Suffered first shutout since coming to Florida for the Classic, as Mother Nature delivered a steady rain that started an hour before game time at 10:00 a.m. and never stopped. Our 56-and-over group now has two doubleheaders to look forward to in the next three days. Looks like the rain will be behind u...
