A very contentious game was played at Watervliet High School on Thursday night. Both teams were fired up all night. The Twins got on the board quickly, when lefty leadoff hitter, Jeff Whitehead slashed a double down the third base line. The Cubs' left fielder made a strong throw to second that eluded t...
After being rained out on Wednesday, the WhizKids and Yankees squared off in Game 2 of their semifinal series at the A diamond last night.

The Cubs will advance to the 55 finals against the Whiz via an 8-4 win over the Twins. The game was fairly sloppy with each team committing 4 errors. Both teams had 4 walks. There were no batters hit by a pitch in this game. The Cubs had 10 hits and the Twins 5. We do love baseball.

They won the first two games, but the Pack showed its pedigree and fought back to win the next 3 games 5-1 ,9-3, and 9-2 led by Jami Burnetter who won games 3 and 5 , all the while wondering if he was getting a call to lea...
