The Fabulous
Falcons won two of three games on Saturday, including three straight
games on Big Ticket Sunday, to win the 2008 Border Town SPL Baseball
Championship. The
Falcons which entered 2008 ranked 4th in the East Division
Season Standings to get to The Championship Final had to achieve victory
over Gen-X-Men, the favourite to win a third straight title (no team has
won the BTSPL Championship three consecutive seasons). Once play began,
the term “favourite” was lost amid the fierce competition.
The Falcons defeated the 2007 Champions
Gen-X-Men 14-9 and the very best Bandits twice, by scores of 14-6 and
10-9, to claim the crown. This is not the Falcons first time to the big
show or making their first appearance in the title game but it is
but it is the Falcons’ first outright
championship. Congratulations Falcons on an amazing tournament and the
2008 Title! No team deserves this 2008 title more!

To the
outstanding and never relenting Bandits, who showed us all why they
finished 1st Place and Best overall Team in the 2008
Season…Saving their best for last, with astonishing come-from-behind
pressure, which included a 6 clutch run outburst in the 7th
with the tying run left on second with 2 outs! Baseball is a game of
momentum and you could feel the Bandits pushing on the door in the 7th.
This was a
hard-fought championship game to remember for years to come folks!

Huge
congratulations to the 3RD
place Champions,
The
Pretenders who were the only team in the Tournament to give the 2008
Champions The Falcons their first and only loss (they are that good
folks) and to the Brewsters for clinching the Consolation Final. What
Champions you all are Brewsters!
Thank
you each and every one of you for attending our 19th Annual
Year-End Tournament and for your leadership and support throughout the
entire season. The way in which I measure the success of our tournament
is by the smiles during the weekend and hearing “we’re having a great
time” and there was much of that. Thank you!
Thank
you to Rich Wojcik, for his tireless work, not only in advance of,
during and after the Tournament, but the entire Season for without him,
none of what we’ve enjoyed would have been possible. Thank you to
Adonis, League Executive, who’s support and encouragement throughout the
2008 Season and the Tournament is never overlooked and always
appreciated.
See
you ALL at the Banquet, where we will officially celebrate you!!!. To
this end, I will be in touch…please stay tuned !
