History: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In its 34th season, the SFBL had 27 teams
play in 3 different divisions of competive
hardball.
The teams continued to play 12
regular season games with the top teams in
each division continuing on to the playoffs. |
In the MABL 18+ Premier
Division, the
Spring 2009 Season welcomed in two new teams
as the South
Dade Orioles
formed and the
Lauderdale Reds
came up from the 25+ Senior Division.
But in the end, the Premier Division
powerhouses, the
Boca Red Sox
(managed by
Eric Lyon)
and Coral Gables
Athletics
(managed by
Miguel Garcia)
would rule.
After splitting regular season games,
the teams squared up in a memorable
championship game which witnessed some great
pitching from
Matt Stubbs (A's)
and Josh
Remondelli (Sox).
The A's took the early lead in the
contest off a big fly from Premier Division
batting champ,
Todd Alea, but
the Sox marched back and took a late lead.
The A's would not back down as
Luis Cabral
won the game with a homerun to left with
Stubbs on base and earn the 7-6 win in
dramatic fashion.
This was the A's 5th SFBL Premier
Division Championship, bringing them two
away from the SFBL record.
In order to advance to the
Championship game, the Sox (10-2) defeated
the Lauderdale Reds (5-5), while the A's
(7-3-1) defeated the Miami Polic Force
(7-2-2).
The 8th Florida Hardball Championship
which features the Premier Division Champs
and the Fort Myers Harball Champs (Lee
County Black Sox)
has not been played as of yet.
The A's have won the championship, a
record, 3 times.
|
|
The A's were led by Matt
Stubbs all year
as the skilled lefty finished with a 2-2
regular season record with a 3.08 ERA and
earned both wins in the playoffs.
Stubbs was also a key hitter in the
team's lineup with a .588 average.
The A's were also led by
Robert Garcia
who had a 5-1 regular season record.
Offensively, the A's were led by
division batting champ
Todd Alea
who finished the season with a .538 batting
average and 14 hits. |
|
For the fourth time in team history and
first time in almost six years, the
Fort Lauderdale Yankees
took home the
Senior Division Championship
Crown as they defeated the
Miami Blues
11-9.
This game featured some of the best
pitching in Senior Division play (Blues
featured John Gawron and Andrew Lane) going
against the big bats of the Yankees.
In the end, timely hitting for the
Yanks and poor defense on the part of the
Blues would give the crown to the Yanks.
The Yanks trailed the majority of the
game, but scored 8 runs in their final three
ABs to earn the win.
The Yanks were led by
Pat Vadala
who had 3 hits in the
game. |
|
The Fort Lauderdale Yankees were led all
year by John Sandola,
who finished the season with a 6-1 record on
the hill with 50 Ks.
Offensively, the team was led by
Jaime Siragusa
who led the team
with 15 hits and 15 RBI.
For the Blues, a note must be made on
their pitching as
Andrew Lane
and
John Gawron
combined for an 8-1
record and had ERAs of 0.60 and 1.82.
Gawron also led the Blues in hitting
with a .531 BA, 17 hits and 13 RBI. |
|
In the Masters Division, the
Broward Black Sox,
managed by Scott
Ferron,
were looking for
the 3-peat this year with another
Masters' Division
Championship but
their run came to an end as the
Broward Braves
defeated the Sox 8-7 in come from behind
fashion.
A big HR from
Leo Artigas
started the charge for the Braves who won
their first SFBL Championship.
In order to advance to the
Championship the Braves defeated the
Broward Mets
8-1 while the
Black Sox defeated the
Miami Orioles
11-6. |
|
Individually, Jesus
Cagigasof the
Broward Braves
had an incredible season earning the
division MVP.
The Braves ace finished the season
with a 0.82 ERA and went the distance in the
Championship Game.
He also finished the season with a
.457 BA and led the team with 16 hits.
A special note: The single season
strike out record was broken this season in
the Masters 35+ Division as the
Broward Mets'
ace, Rick
Carbello,
finished the season with 60 K, breaking
Joe Feller's
record of 54. |
