The Cubs played the Dodgers in game two of their best of 3 semifinal series last night, at Rogowicz field in Cook Park. The Cubs got it started early when Paul Miles led off with a single and stole second. Alex Marin followed with a single, moving Miles to third. Marin then proceeded to steal second, leav...
Semi-final game 2: Cubs win 10-3, and advance to the 55+ finals. The full story to follow. Anybody got a report on the Whiz vs Yankees game from last night?
The Cubs and Dodgers faced off last night, at the A-Diamond, in game one of the 55+ semi-finals. The Cubs got a late cancellation from their game one starter (Chris Mason) due to a work commitment. No worries, as Chris Dunn, who pitched 7 innings on Saturday in a 45+ quarter-final playoff game, stepped...
There is only one explanation for the Cubs vs Pirates playoff game being able to be played in full, last night at Rogowicz Field in Cook Park. There was rain, wind, and lightning all around us. The forecast was for it to hit us at about 7:00 pm. Then the forecast said 6:00 pm, and the skies became ominous at...
Under the lights for the first time all season. Rogowicz Field. When Jeff Whitehead and I arrived from Massachusetts an hour and a half before game time who was out prepping the field ? Lex Herlett. Pulling tarps. Raking. Tamping. Putting down the lines. And it was hot. And sticky. Nary a complaint fro...
In a game that went past most of our bedtimes the Dodgers played some good playoff baseball to get by the Giants. The game that was originally scheduled to start at 5:30 got bumped to an 8:00 o'clock first-pitch because some kids wanted to have a baseball practice. Imagine that - kids taking priority ov...

Due to the 62 Americans-Yankees playoff game of 8-28 getting rained out and moved to 8-29 the 55 Americans-Twins game scheduled for 8-29 has been cancelled by the league. -- Edited by crowbait on Tuesday 29th of August 2023 09:04:50 AM
As expected, the Yankees started Craig Miller who had 1 day of rest after winning a complete game victory against the Cardinals on Tuesday. Stefan Koutsakis opened the game flying out to fairly deep left and Kenny Wellington followed with a clean line drive single to right raising Arachnids spirits...
The 55+ Cubs and Giants got together for the final time ever, in a regular season game, Thursday night at New Scotland. With the Giant's Manager, Steve Lounello, announcing that the Giants would be folding after the 2023 season, it gave the game added significance to both teams; and it showed. The Gia...
8-6 Yankees. Cold hard facts. Yankees with 12 hits, Arachnids 10. Each team had 3 strike outs and 3 walks. Geannelis starts and goes 5 with Weber hurling the final 2. TJ Scorsone pitches a complete game for the Spiders. 3 errors for the Arachnids and for the Yanks. Lots of bases stolen by both teams with...
but we, on the over-62 Americans, did this past season. We're a lucky bunch: we won some (9, counting playoffs), lost some (8), and laughed a lot. The Yankees Tim Brown wrote a fine write-up here on the bulletin board of the playoff contest which turned out to be our final game, a taut 2-0 loss to Tim's Yan...
Craig Miller outdueled Americans ace Mike Kane Tuesday evening to send the Yankees to the finals of the 62s championship series with a masterful 2-0 complete game shutout on the A Diamond. ''Smooth as Silk'' was what his batterymate Ron Smaka called Miller's pitching performance, as the big righth...
The Cardinals scored 1 in the top of the first and the Spiders plated 3 in the bottom of the frame and it stayed 3-1 until the bottom of the 5th. Through 4 full Cards starter John Cortese allowed just 4 hits while nids starter Darrell Duncan surrendered just 2 safeties. Both pitchers struck out 3 hitters o...
