The Dodgers scored in 5 of their 6 at-bats and withstood a late rally to better the Americans at the B Diamond. Twelve Dodgers joined the hit parade; including Mike Kocienski in his final at-bat in the CDMSBL. Two knee replacements and an upcoming shoulder surgery have ended Mike's action between the...
Last night at the A-Diamond the schedule read 55+ Cubs at the Angels at 5:30 pm. That always is family night. These two teams are made up of friends (baseball brothers) who have at one time or another been teammates, most of them for many years. To add to that wonderful mixture of players, we had a visit fr...
On a great nite for baseball at Swift Road, the Pirates and Arachnids hooked up for their 1st meeting of the season, and the tone of this game was some timely fielding plays and an 8-inning pitchers duel between Stephan Koutsakis for the Arachnids, and Jimmie Dalton, a late spot start for the Pirates. D...
In another see-saw affair, that featured 5 lead changes, the Cardinals bested the Pirates at Elm Street Park on Friday nite, by a score of 6-5. Pirates pus-tossing right-hander Jimmie Dalton toed the slab for the Bucs, and escaped a 1-out bases full jam in the top of the first, with the Cardinals squee...
The Whiz Kids played the Angels at the A Diamond last night, winning the game 10-0. Bob Bolt and Joe Burns shared pitching duties for the Whiz. They combined for 2 K, 1BB, while giving up 2 hits. Offensively for the Whiz, Dave Sirani had a double, Joe Burns had 2 singles. Pitching for the Angels was Jon Mar...
This was a great game that almost wasn't. The Cubs had two late cancelations, and were left with just 8 players. Six of the 9 teams in the division were playing on the same night, so the borrowing attempts were not successful. After some pregame negotiations, Steve Van Gelder was allowed to sub for the C...
The Dodgers and the Twins enjoyed a well-played game of baseball on a much improved B Diamond in Schenectady. With both teams playing solid defense, the game was tied at two going into the bottom of the 6th inning. Dodgers rookie Steve Jiampeti drew a lead-off walk. Harvey Staulters singled to put run...
In a typical match up between these two clubs, a seesaw affair, with whoever could score last would come out on top. In a game that featured the Peppers furnishing the Buccos 4 errors, 5 walks and 2 HBP, with the Pirates reciprocating with 4 walks and 6 errors as both teams tried to shake off winter rust on...
The Cubs and Americans met, at Bob Moore this past Friday night (big thanks to Jim Bonaparte) for the opening contest for both teams, in the 2022 season. It was a cold and blustery night, but both teams made the most of it. The American's rode the slick pitching of Dan Durback and solid fielding to build a...
Playing at Bethlehem on a field that was in sub par conditions, the 55 Damn Yankees and Twins got a game in last evening. Very sunny but quite windy and cool. The glaring difference in the contest was the fact that the Twins committed 5 errors while the Yankees had none. The Yankees scored 12 runs, 6 earne...
I am hoping to do some renovations to a side porch. The work would include some masonry repair, replacing a door and some carpentry work and replacing the wooden exterior wall with some stone work or brick (depending on cost). I am hoping for a referral; especially if the contractor plays in our league...
The Capital Division is up and running, playing Sundays at 5:30 pm at Schenectady Babe Ruth. We opened last week and have a game set for this Sunday. The forecast is perfect, upper 60's and sun. We could use more players this Sunday. If you want to participate in the Capital Division and help it succeed,...
The Dodgers and Pirates dug out their winter scarves, mittens and long johns and showed up to Bob Moore ready to play some baseball. It was nice to see old friends even if the only body parts visible were the eyes and eye brows. We're from New York. We weren't going to let wind chills in the mid 30s keep us of...
