2008 BTSPL League Championship Winner - Falcons C

| 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 ! Ava |
