The whiz vs pirates moved to A-Diamond. I have heard the game starts when both teams have 9 players. Sorry about the double post. -- Edited by MrJ on Monday 30th of August 2021 04:47:23 PM
Due to several rainouts, the WhizKids were faced with playing 6 games in 9 days (factor in games that some players have in the 33s, 45s and 62s and its closer to 8 games in 10 days!). Of course, it had to start with a week of high heat and humidity. Game 1: Joe Burns (3-0) pitched 5 innings of 3-hit ball as the W...
Folks: My over-62 Pirates squad had a spooky time with possible heat exhaustion last night (Friday, 8/27), and I thought the experience worth passing along. Could be life-saving. When manager Jim Dalton wrote us today, asking who would be available for Monday's game, one of our players, Jim Ansel,...

The Cubs and Dodgers got together on a hot and very humid night, last night at Watervliet High School. The games between these two teams are always hotly contested, and last night was no exception. The outcome was in doubt until the very last pitch was thrown. The Cubs got off to a good start getting two r...
The Cubs and Americans got a game in on Friday night at Watervliet High School due to the incredible work of Dennis Lane. The field drains well, due to the design and work of Mr. Lane, but the field was very wet on Friday morning. Reports from those that drove by early in the am said that there were puddles a...
Lots of Twins hits in this game. Lots of Twins runs. While the Pirates got their bats on the ball most of the time, they were mostly hit to Twins defenders. That happens to all teams at one time or another. Leading the Twins offense were Rick Saidenberg and Jeff Whitehead with 3 hits each including a tripl...
Tonight's battle for first place, between the Cubs and Whiz Kids, in the 55+ division has been cancelled. Inclement weather has postponed the regularly scheduled game tonight. The two managers have agreed upon Thursday 09/02 as the make-up date, pending the assignment of a field by Commissioner R...
