The Pirates play our final regular season game on Tuesday September 3rd at 7:00 pm against the Jets at Germantown. This will give the team 12 days to recover/heal from those nagging sprains and pulls.
After
last nights loss we remain tied with the Senators in the division, but
they are one game up on us overall. The tie-breaker for the division is
the overall record for the season (don't ask me why). Both Pirates and
Senators have one game left. They have the O's on Sunday (first time
I'm cheering for O's) and we have the Jets. IF, the Senators lose
against the O's and when we beat the Jets we will remain tied, in
division and overall! That means we will play a one game playoff game
against the Senators. That one game would be played on Friday Sept. 6th at Shawnee, 7 pm. Winner gets the O's for a best of three Championship series! Loser plays 2nd place team in the other division.
Good
luck to John Denney & David Porta (Baltimore) and Jose Cubero
(Huntsville) over the Labor Day weekend tournaments. Safe travels and
try not to get to banged up!
Guys,
I've made the selection for who will represent the Pirates in this
years All Star game. I'm allowed four spots, one pitcher and three
position player spots. It's never easy making these choices because you
all are All Stars (I know - little corny).
Pitcher - John Denney
Position Players - Chris Gregory, Jose Cubero, Bobby Blair
Alternate - Dustin Stover
All Star game is October 13th at 4:30 pm against the other divisions All Stars at Memorial Park.
Anyone interested in 49+ Fall Ball get in touch with David Allison at allison83@bellsouth.net
or by cell 502-594-0872. The Fall Ball season will start in September.
I believe there is a meeting on the 26th to pick players and then
start play that weekend. Get in touch with David to learn more.
All for now, get rested up and lets get ready for the Jets on the 3rd and go from there. Have a great weekend!
