The WhizKids and Pirates squared off Wednesday night at New Scotland. Bob Bolt, in his pitching debut for the Whiz, went 4 innings, allowing just 2 hits and one unearned run. That run came in the top of the first, but the Whiz responded in the bottom of the frame in a big way. Gene Hallenbeck had a run scori...
The baseball field at Watervliet High School is Dennis Lane's baby--and he dotes on it like a proud father. The field had been abandoned and all but forgotten for several years, until Dennis, a teacher at the school, singlehandedly undertook its reclamation. And now, after many long months of toil a...
The Cubs jumped out to an early lead and coasted to a 17-6 victory over the Americans on Thursday night, at the A-Diamond. The Cubs scored 3 in the first; 3 in the second; and 8 in the 3rd, for a 14-0 lead. Mike Girard kept the Americans off the scoreboard for those first three innings, giving up just 2 singl...
Damn Yankees defeated the Twins 7-0 at A Diamond Tuesday evening. No Yankee runs were earned as the Twins committed 4 very untimely errors. It was 1-0 after 3 and 3-0 after 5 but the Yankees tacked on 3 more in the 6th and 1 in the 7th. The Yankees had 8 hits . Weber was masterful on the mound for the Yankees al...
The 55+ Dodgers and Angels met on a beautiful evening for baseball at New Scotland. The Dodgers knocked on the door early; loading the bases in the 1st and 3rd innings but the gritty Angels would allow just two runs. The Angels then cut the lead in half as Jim McQuade singled, promptly stole 2nd and 3rd an...
The Twins and Cubs squared off at Kuhn Field last night . Cubs came to bat first and scored 5 runs on 4 hits, 2 walks, and an error. Scott Ross had the big hit which was a double. Twins starter Stefan Koutsakis stayed in the game, found a better approach, and allowed just one run and 3 hits over the next four in...
Last night at New Scotland, Kevin Moon returned from a long absence from competitive baseball. He called me this winter looking for a spot to ease back into the game he had been away from since receiving a Heart Transplant! Not a knee replacement! Not a hip replacement! An actual heart replacement! Th...
At A Diamond the Twins finally got their first game of the season out of the way after the previous 2 were washed out. Twins drew first blood in the top of the 1st when Rick Saidenberg hit a triple and scored on a Tom King single. It stayed 1-0 until the bottom of the 5th when the Giants tied it at 1 all as Vanett...
The Cubs and Angels got together at New Scotland for what is always a very friendly game, you could even say a FAMILY AFFAIR. Of the 22 players at the field last night, 19 had previously, at one time or another, played for the Cubs franchise (30+, 45+, and/or 55+). The game was friendly, but competitive t...
Pitching, defense and timely hitting led the WhizKids over the Yankees Tuesday night at the A diamond. Mike Kane allowed only 3 hits and no walks in the 7-inning shutout. The defense was solid, especially considering it was the first game of the year, following a rainout and a bye week. The offense sho...
Does anyone know where to get good baseballs in large quantities for a decent price?? My son's old little league is looking to buy a bunch. Just thought someone here might know something I don't. Thanks, Doug
