Sidelines White 19, Bull Moose 11
Sidelines White
Sidelines White squared off with the Hot hitting and always dangerous Bull Moose squad in game 1 of another Do or Die game to keep a 1 game lead in the chase for the Ship. White jumped out with 2 five run innings to gain a nice (but not safe) lead. Bull Moose kept it close but could never close the gap and White came out with a tough fought win 19-11. White got contributions from everyone from 1-11 . Aaron Young was 4-5 with a dinger. Mike Miller added a bomb himself going 3-4. Ed Reed, Dave Durfey, Bill Gau and sub Stevie Glass all went 3-4 themselves. Special thanks to Jeff Aiello for subbing and going 4-4 even with his team needing us to lose.
Bull Moose
Bull Moose couldn't string enough hits together to overcome a powerful Sidelines White. Congratulations to them for winning the league. Very impressive overcoming an early in the season sub-500 record. Leading hitters for the Moosies on the night were Mike LaPoint 3/3 with a otf bomb, Bobby Allgier 3/3, Dave Ashman 3/3 and both Bruce Klostermeier and Wayne Harris 3/4. Wayne led the team with a .741 batting average, Mark Clair .717 and Tim Kuszmaul .700. Randy Cuthrell led the team in home runs with four. Disappointing season but great group of guys!

Fricker's Red 22, Fricker's Maroon 23
Fricker's Red
In an "Instant Classic" Fricker's Maroon won a back and forth tough game 23-22. The two teams traded leads and Fricker's Maroon was leading 18-13 after 5 innings. Fricker's Red plated 9 runs in the top of the 7th only to see Fricker's Maroon come back with 5 runs in the bottom of the inning for a walk off win. This year the league has been the most competitive of any year I remember with lots of close games and any team can beat anyone on a given night. Fricker's Red was led in hitting by Keith Dunbar 4-5 with a 2b and OTF HR Grand Slam; Terry "Tbone" Thomas 3-3 with 2 walks; Rick Obert 4-5 with two triples and a 2b; Steve Glass 3-5 with a 2b; sub Randy Cuthrell 2-4 with an OTFHR ; Dave Obert 3-4 and the ageless wonder Roy Woodworth 1-2 with a 2B and two walks. It was an offensive game for sure but Rick Beham added a defensive gem with a diving play at 2b and throwing out the runner at 1b lying on his back!. Thanks to Randy Cuthrell for subbing and it should be an exciting playoff season in the 50+ league.
Fricker's Maroon
First off, congratulations to Sidelines White for winning the 2022 Legends League Championship! The league this year was very good with everyone being extremely balanced and competitive. Also, congratulations to our own Jay Stefanski for winning the league home run title. Jay blasted 17 OTF HR's, which is the SSS season record. Kurt Souva finished with 12 OTF HR's in only 13 games, and Bob Zubkoff added 10 OTF round trippers. Rounding out the OTF HR totals were Jeff Baker with 5, Russ Mitchell 4, Jay Kennedy 3, and Phil Rodriguez with one OTF and 1 ITP. In this contest,the Maroon Men scored 5 in the bottom of the 7th to pull out a big win over the fine FR team. Phil Rodriguez, batting with a broken wrist, blasted a drive over the RC fielders head to plate the winning run. Kurt Souva, Peanut Lannen, and Jeff Baker were perfect at the plate, including 2 OTF HR's from Souva to lead the way. The outfield defense of Souva, Zubkoff and Kennedy was outstanding and Jase Sweede was at his usual Gold Glove standard. Hitting leaders: Kurt Souva ( 5-5 5R 2B 2 OTF HR's 5 RBI) - Season .757 12 HR 32 RBI, Jeff Baker ( 4-4 4R BB 2 2B 3 RBI) - .613 5 HR 31 RBI, Peanut Lannen ( 4-4 3R BB 4 RBI) -.660 21 RBI, Jase Sweede ( 4-5 4R 4 RBI), Phil Rodriguez ( 3-4 BB R 2 RBI), Jay Kennedy ( 3-4 BB 3B 4 RBI) - 3 HR 23 RBI, Bob Zubkoff ( 3-5 2R 2B RBI) - .621 10 HR 32 RBI, Avery Cooper ( 2-4 RBI), Jon LaBeau ( 2-5 2R 2B RBI, and Jay Stefanski ( 2-5 2R OTF HR RBI) - .767 17 HR 50 RBI.
