At least the weather was nice.... Final was 14-2 in favor of the Giants. The brand new homerun fence came into play as the Giants pounded the Cyclones 14-2 on Sunday morning at Watervliet. A combination of 1-hit pitching by Jim Johnston and four Giants dingers spelled doom for the Cyclones. To the pers...
The 55 Twins slipped by the Americans 10-6 on A Diamond earlier tonight. The Twins jumped out to an early lead, but the Americans kept the game interesting and mustered a more than respectable offense. Both teams displayed some excellent defense, and also several miscues. Wayne Nicholson picked up...
Beautiful night for baseball as The Peppers (no more redhotchili) met The Pirates at the beautiful A Diamond. The Peppers have gotten a bit younger this year and started fast out of the gate scoring 3 runs in the top of the first inning on 4 singles an error and an rbi groundout. Pirates answered with one...
The 55 Twins came back from a 3-2 deficit scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th to defeat a scrappy Peppers team 4-3. The Twins were leading 2-1 going into the 7th but committed 2 ill timed errors to allow the Peppers to take the lead. Hits in the bottom of the 7th by Twins Lee Madsen, Wayne Nicholson (tying...

We finally got back out on the field last night, at New Scotland and played 7 innings of a seesaw affair. The Damn Yankees jumped out early with 2 runs in the 1st, and another 2 runs in the 3rd. The top of the Yankees order was responsible for all 4 of these runs. Paul Post, Mike Ferraro, and Jack Griffin all h...
The 55+ game between the Damn Yankees and the Cubs, is NOT cancelled due to wet fields. After numerous rain outs and cancellations due to soggy fields, I thought that it was news worthy to report that tonight's game, at New Scotland's Swift Road Park, will indeed be played as scheduled! Let them play! L...
Fellow League Members, As many of you know the Valleycats, Hannaford and Blue Shield have helped build a baseball field over at Green Tech. We still have some items that need attention like fencing and dugouts. One of my biggest issues i face is needing a tractor that can drag the infield each day or at l...
No game tonight at Legion Field for Cards/Americans. Its mud. Rained hard there yesterday, overnight and currently. We will play sometime this season! Umpires, Fitch, Reel, Harold and Jerry Hawkins notified. >Brad Buchan - Americans
