Memorial Day 35+ Championship

Write up from Reds Manager Josh Ritz -

The Bombers were the home team, and the Reds wasted no time setting the tone. In the top of the first inning, Nick Waycaster and Nick Plagman both came around to score, giving the Reds an early 2-0 lead. The Bombers threatened immediately in the bottom half of the inning, loading the bases and putting pressure on the Reds’ defense. But the Reds escaped the jam without allowing a run, preserving their early advantage. In the top of the second, the Bombers’ defense answered back with a clean three-up, three-down inning, retiring K. Whitley, W. McCorkle, and N. Waycaster in order. They carried that momentum into the bottom of the second, pushing across their first run of the game and cutting the Reds’ lead to 2-1. The Reds responded in the top of the third, adding two more runs to stretch the lead to 4-1. In the bottom half, their defense backed it up with a three-up, three-down inning of their own, retiring the Bombers’ 1, 2, and 3 hitters in order. The Bombers continued to battle defensively in the fourth. In the top half, they recorded their second three-up, three-down inning of the game, retiring the Reds’ 10, 1, and 2 hitters. Then, riding that momentum, the Bombers’ offense started to heat up. T. May and R. Hernaman both scored in the bottom of the fourth, bringing the game to a razor-thin 4-3, with the Reds still narrowly in front. The Reds answered in the top of the fifth with two runs of their own, extending the lead back to 6-3. The Bombers were held scoreless in the bottom of the fifth, and the Reds were unable to add on in the top of the sixth, keeping the score at 6-3.

Then came the Bombers’ biggest inning of the game. In the bottom of the sixth, their offense broke through in a major way, scoring four runs behind T. May, F. Galran, R. Hernaman, and M. Helmly. That rally gave the Bombers their first lead of the game, putting them ahead 7-6. But the lead did not last long. In the top of the seventh, the Reds delivered their biggest response of the day, rallying for five runs. R. Allen, J. Ritz, K. Whitley, W. McCorkle, and P. Biello all crossed the plate, swinging the game back in the Reds’ favor and giving them an 11-7 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh. The Reds came up with a huge defensive stop in the bottom of the seventh, holding the Bombers scoreless and taking the game into the eighth inning with little time remaining on the clock. In the top of the eighth, the Reds threatened to add insurance runs, but the Bombers escaped the inning without allowing any further damage. That gave the Bombers one final chance in the bottom of the eighth, with roughly 12 minutes left on the clock. They made it count. The Bombers mounted a late comeback, scoring their #4, #6, and #7 hitters and cutting the Reds’ lead to 11-10. Suddenly, the game was down to one run, and the Bombers had the tying and winning runs on base.

With two outs and runners on first and second, W. Korn stepped to the plate. The tying run stood on second, the go-ahead run was on first, and the Bombers were one swing away from completing a dramatic walk-off comeback. Korn hit a line drive into center field that looked like it was going to drop in. But Nick Plagman came charging in and made a diving catch, securing the final out of the inning and ending the game. The Reds held on for an 11-10 championship win, narrowly surviving a furious late comeback effort from the Bombers. After the game, Nick Plagman was awarded MVP for his outstanding defensive performance, including multiple diving catches in center field throughout both the championship game and the tournament.

We need to build a 10th team for our 35+ Sunday league. It is taking shape after our 3/21 workout but we do need a few more to bolster the squad.

Tryout will be at Campbell Middle School at 3295 Atlanta Rd SE, Smyrna, GA 30080. Park in the parking lot to the north of the school and up above the baseball field and walk down. Please come prepared to field, hit, throw, pitch, etc.

League fees are estimated around $355.

The age designation (18+, 25+, 35+, 45+) is a minimum age, there is no max age on our leagues, if you believe you can hang with the 18+ or 25+, feel free. That tryout will be after the 35+.

If you have a full team you are looking to enter into the league, please send an email to [email protected] to be placed on the email list and to be invited to the manager’s meetings.

Note - the Atlanta MABL/MSBL is the oldest men’s baseball leagues in Atlanta and it is run by a MSBL National Hall of Famer for the work he has done over the years in promoting adult baseball in the Atlanta area.

For this draft, we have a few teams that need players to round out their teams, and we need to build an expansion team as we currently have nine teams in our 35+ Sunday and it is easier to schedule with an even number.

After the workout a draft will be conducted. We do all we can to have all players placed on a team.

League fees are estimated around $355.
