Pleasant Cafe League Champs

2008 LEAGUE CHAMPS

The Championship Game for the 2008 Stow Men's Softball League was outstanding. What seemed to be a pitchers duel with John Anderson and Mike Lowery each working the high arc the game went extra innings and finished 8-7 in 8 innings.

The game had ups and downs with the Paper Store scoring first and then the Pleasant Cafe surging ahead only to have the Paper Store to have a 5 run inning to tie it up.

The drama unfolded in extra innings when Mike Lowery (inset) held the Paper Store scoreless in the top of the eighth.





In the Bottom of the Eighth, Kenny who had not been having a great series offensively reached first on a hard hit ball to 3rd. Ben Gilbert then chipped in with a double to right which left runners on second and third. The next batter Steve Malcolm having 4 homeruns in 2 days was not suprisingly intentionaly walked to Load the bases. Prior to the game Jim Stewart (inset) thought they would be walking Steve so we flipped the batting order of him and Steve which led to Stew being up in the bottom of the eighth with the bases loaded and no outs to hit a deep shot into right field to score Kenny on Jim's walk off single.

WHAT A SERIES!

Thursday's game update

Auto Tech came out strong scoring 3 runs in the 1st and adding 3 more in the 3rd but The Paper Store slowly chipped away scoring 3 runs in the 3rd and adding 4 in the 6th to take the lead for good. Thanks to great pitching from John Anderson and great catches from our outfielders, The Paper Store was able to hold on to the lead and come out with a 7-6 win. It was a great victory for us as Auto Tech is always a tough team to play.

Wednesdays game update

The Pleasant Cafe started out the game very slow falling into an 8-1 deficit after 4 1/2 innings, literally hobbling around the bases (Joe). In the bottom of the 5th, the PC opened the flood gates. The PC found their bats and had many timely hits, as well as a few key errors by the Wolverines and put 6 up on the board. The bottom of the 6th was no different with PC putting up 7 more runs on some HUGE hits by the middle of the order. PC ended up with the Victory 14-8 and moved into the next round of the playoffs.

Key Stat of the game: Joe Baldellis (of the PC), after hurting his groin, was delegated to catching duties and could not even hobble himself down to first.
3 ab's (post injury),,, 1 four pitch walk, and twice getting throw out at first by the OF, BUT had 3 rbi's in those at bats.

Playoff Update

The 5th seeded Paper Store scored 9 runs in the first,

and then held on as 4th seed Blue Coyote chipped away –

and left the tying run on second in the 7th inning.

Final Score: Paper Store 10 – Blue Coyote 9.

Playoff Update

The Wolverines belted several home runs on their

way to a 17 – 9 thrashing of Enduring Elements

in the first Stow Men’s Softball League playoff game

in quite some time.


The game was close for a couple of innings, but the

number 3 seeded Wolverines pulled away in the middle

innings against the number 6 seeded Elements team.

This Weeks update. I had been in Chicago all week so here you go all at once.

Monday: J&S forfeited to Auto Tech
This mean if you count forfeits no team has scored on Auto tech in 4 games!

Tuesday: Enduring Elements defeated the Padres 18-4.
Close contest (3 to 2 EE) for five innings,
Then EE scored 4 in the 6th and 11 in the 7th.
Padres came back with 2 in the 7th for an 18 – 4 final – Enduring Elements.

Wednesday: Wolverines defeated the blue Coyote 13-3.
I was told to post that jared brennan is an awful right fielder. Who multiple sources have said recorded 5 errors in this game.

Thursday: Pleasant Cafe forfeited to The Paper Store
Its unacceptable when the bar is more important than showing up for your teammates.
