Yep.  That game last night only determined who each team would play today.

Haha, the POINT will always be the Point, the War Memorial will always be the War Memorial, and the hospital will always be Memorial hospital.

I see Johnstown 2 played a little punkball yesterday.  So much for the Team Sportsmanship Trophy.

It was baseball.  I was there, saw it.  The runner is coming home full tilt, is entitled to the baseline.  If you are the fielder, and are in the baseline, it's expected you are going to get run into as you are blocking the runners' access to the plate.  Maudie is a big boy, packs a lot of momentum, de-cleats the fielder.  He didn't drop his head, didn't lower a shoulder, straight up double forearm in front- offensive line  thrust football blocking technique.  But it's baseball.  I saw nothing dirty.  At the same time, I don't want to be either of them forced into that position.

If it was a baseball play as you describe, why did he get ejected?

3-1 Johnstown heading to the 9th.

Three more outs and we burn this town down?

Tried again to give it away, but destiny? prevailed, and Johnstown has its first AAABA champion, even though in a watered down format. Could they have done it against a full 16 team field with the likes of Detroit, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, etc. We may never know, and have to accept it for what it is. Congrats anyway to Martella's. Will there be a league next year.
