| Beagle City Players Dominate in the inaugural WMWA Season Ending Tournament... The WMWA's first annual Two-on-Two Tournament saw 19 teams battle throughout the day on Sunday in hectic 3-inning games until only the original Beagle City twosome of Mario Cosentini and John Matte were left standing. Congrats to Mario and John for taking home the title and the first place cash prize of $550. The third member of Beagle City, Rusty Ficarra, teamed up with Snapdragon Scott Johnston and took 2nd place ($210) much to the chagrin of the other two Snappers. Thanks to all that participated in the tourny, and a special thanks goes out to the new teams that showed up and got their clocks cleaned as they learned the rules of the game the hard way. Photos of all the action will be posted when I get around to it. |
| 11-20-11... some 2011 awards have been posted, 2011 all-star teams have been posted, 2011 team stats have been updated Different Lineup; Same Result In a battle of the top two seeds, the Greenhouse Gassers took home their 5th straight WMWA Championship by defeating Blackout in the finals with consecutive wins (3-0 and 12-1). Rusty Ficarra was on the mound for the Gassers in both games, and newcomer (ahem... "ringer") John Matte broke a scoreless tie late in game one with a long homer. Matte also turned a double play in the field immediately following a leadoff triple by Blackout. Dave Bodendorf homered 4 times in the series, and is the only member of the Gassers to be there for all five titles. Congrats to both teams for their 2011 performance. |
Tournament News... The Greenhouse Gassers went undefeated in the first annual WMWA Summer tournament beating the Beagle City Dirt Doggs 4-1 in the final game to take the championship and the prize money. Their all-star roster consisted of Dave Bodendorf, Rusty Ficarra, and Josh Jensen (making his first WMWA appearance of 2010). Congrats to the Gassers and the Doggs for their top-notch play and for being the last two teams standing after a grueling 6-hour day in the heat. And I gotta also throw a shout-out to Chris Viale for pitching a perfect game in the quarterfinals against a pretty tough opponent in a 1-0 game. |
