The first inning of the Twins-Yankees game at Kuhn Field proved to hold the most promise for a pretty good baseball game. The Yankees came up first and jumped out to a 5-0 lead on 2 walks and 5 hits with the big blow being a double off the bat off Gennelis. The Twins swallowed hard, gritted their teeth, and s...

When the Cubs and Whiz kids get together, the games are always tight and highly competitive. Last night's game at the A-Diamond was no exception! This one was a pitcher's duel with Mike Girard and Mike Kane squaring off in a game that would be decided by one mistake pitch. Mike Kane got in a little troubl...
The 55+ Dodgers inched past the .500 mark with a win over the Americans at the A Diamond. The Americans were missing some of their key players so Mike LaBarge traded his tools of ignorance for a starting spot on the artificial pitchers mound. Mike battled the Dodgers' line-up through six inning and str...
