As the rains threatened, the 38+Cubs ended their 3-game slide with a win over the A's at the Bob Moore Stadium. Mike LaCouture pitched a complete game (6 innings) for the win. The A's came back strong with a 4 runs in the 4th highlighted by a Ray Demers blast to dead center, just shy of the 330 sign by about 5...
With rain showers all over the capital district last night, who would have believed that the White Sox and Silver Marlins would get a 7 inning game in at Bethlehem Town Park. That field is wet in the middle of August. When John Reel said that the game hadn't been called by 5:00, I thought that I was going to...
On a non-stop, rain filled, cold Sunday evening, the champion Golden Marlins came out to play some b-ball against Blue Thunder for the first time this season. The game turned into a pitchers duel. Inning after inning, no runs, few hits, but the rain just kept on falling. The game was scoreless till the...
Yankees of the 47 + League improved their record to 5-0 with weekend wins over the Marlins & Cougars behind the hitting of Steve Van Gelder and a host of other Yankees. Don't have the full stats yet. Ralph Caputo pitched 5 innings in the Marlins game and Art Gianakos pitched the final 2 innings. Art G...
In a tight, well played game at SUNY, the last place Shaskys beat the tied for second place Blue Jays to secure their first win of the season. The pitching was outstanding for both teams, but Todd McCurty of the Shaskys was especially effective, going five innings and giving up one earned run on five hit...
On a night when few thought we would be playing a baseball game to due to the weather in the area, the Met's beat the Shasky's by a score of 14-2. Newcomer Jim Jansen pitched for the first time and held the Shaskys to 3 hits over 5 inings and I pitched the 6th before the game got called. Dan Maynard led the hitt...
After a loss to the Marlins and 3 rain outs in a row, the Mighty Orioles have come back with a vengeance. In the last 19 innings they have scored 31 runs while only allowing 2. Last night the streak continued with an impressive combined no hitter from Joe Guerin and Dave Topino in a 10-0 rain shortened 5 inn...
Lost glove, left at Voorheesville Annex Field on Sunday, 6/10, Yankees / Cougars game at 2:30. The following game was Marlins and Thunder game. John Reel, would you please let me know if anyone on your club found a Reggie Jackson, closed web glove, since you used the left side bench. I've had that glove...
Behind the fine pitching of Dave Foreman (also his hitting, including a 3 bagger) the Black Sox won their second game of the year. Mark Myers with 2 triples and a double and 5 rbi led the hit parade. Several Black Sox hitters had a multiple hit game including Reuter, Sarubbi, Musella, and Fish. The Couga...
A shout out to the 28+ Orioles and Nationals for yesterday's game at SUNY Albany. Over the last five years I have umpired approx. 200 CDMSBL games across all three age divisions. I have made it my policy not to discuss any of these contests in this forum. Today I make an exception because this game was a cl...
Don't know the final score (cooler related memory loss), but the Pirates entered the 6th inning with a 5 run lead. The Cubs came up with 5 in the bottom of the sixth and one more in the bottom of the 7th to cap a stirring comeback. The winning rally was started with a walk to Mike Girard (rare indeed), follow...
Jerry Solomon, on 2 days rest, tossed a 3-hitter to lead the Giants at FMS in a game called after the Highlanders batted in the top of the 6th.
Billy Smith smacked a deep SAC fly in the first and an RBI double in the third, and Jim Keegan roped an RBI triple before being paged to go to work. Carlos Llera ha...
We are in danger of having the Ravena High School field taken away, we have been warned!!! This is a drug free school zone. This means no smoking or drinking on school grounds period. The fields we can use are not that plentiful so lets all do our part not to lose this one. This is players, spectators, and u...
