Brookline recently completed their playoffs with the Bandits, the 5th place regular season team claiming the Championship over the Force, the 2nd place team. Brookline Baseball and Softball work hard to assure parody in their leagues. The Major Girls are certainly no exception. “It felt like every playoff game was any team’s game to win” commented Major Girls Commissioner Bill Gormley.
The Glory, coached by Drew Murphy, the Pride coached by Mike Romano, and the Racers coached by Dave Spadaro were capable teams that just didn’t get the breaks to go their way during the playoffs. The Racers for example were knocked out of the tournament with 2 losses by a total of 3 runs. Again this speaks to the Brookline organization’s desire to keep the teams equally talented. “Across all of our Leagues Minor Girls and Boys, and Major Girls and Boys, all playoff games were closely contested games” said Rich Buxton, Brookline President.
The playoff system is a double elimination tournament. The Bandits path to the Championship was in the 4, 5 seed game they defeated the Glory. In the game against the top seeded Racers, they won another closely contested. Their win over the Force placed the Bandits one win away from the Championship.
The Force, coached by Mike Epstien, defeated the Pride, lost to the Bandits, and defeated the Racers in the bracket for teams that have lost one game in the double elimination tournament. The Force’s task was to defeat the Bandits twice, and the crown was theirs.
The Bandits won a closely contested well played game by a 6 - 4 margin for the Championship. “This was a total team effort throughout the regular season and playoffs. Every player had an opportunity to make a contribution to the team“, stated Jack Cunningham, Bandits Manager. Members of the winning Bandits are: Kayla Bassett, Lauren Vanstone, Jamie Falcone, Tiffany Cunningham, Alisha Mooney, Kelly Brady, Julia Roseneau, Sara Nelson, Gretchen Keown, Courtney Monahan, Amanda Stutman, Caroline Freels, and Julie Cohen.

EDCO Intermediate Ridley Township 9 Springfield Blue 6 On June 7, the bats finally came alive but Blue gave Ridley too many free passes that they took full advantage of to outlast Springfield. Losing 6-0, Blue plated three in the third, one in the fourth, and two more in the fifth, but Ridley added on two in the top of fourth that made the effort too little, too late. Brent Dunfee led the offense with three hits while Eric Gibbs and Tim Houtmann each had a pair. Kyle Pappa blasted a double and scored a run while Tim Finnegan, John O'Doherty, and Pete Sabato all had singles. The pitching bright spot was Matt Culbertson who didn't allow a hit while striking out two in his two innings of work. Springfield Blue 12 Springfield Gold 2 The baseball gods finally smiled on Blue the following day as they took out early season frustrations on Springfield Gold, winning 12-2 on the strength of a 12-hit attack. Tim Finnegan was the offensive hero with three hits and three RBI's while scoring two runs. Brent Dunfee, Pete Sabato, and winning pitcher Chris Desiderio each had two hits. Dunfee also had two steals and two runs scored while Sabato had two RBI's. Eric Gibbs knocked in two runs with a laser single and forced in a third run with a walk. Danny Hee also came up big on base with a single and two walks and scoring two runs. Desiderio was dominant on the mound allowing only two runs in the first inning when Sal Megaro banged in Zach Culbertson and Dylan Quinn who had each knocked hits ahead of him. Desiderio quickly settled down and went on to record six strikeouts while only walking two for a complete game victory. Springfield Blue 7 Clifton 2 Tim Houtmann pitched strong in his first start of the year on June 10, earning the victory over Clifton. He tuned out and then turned off a raucous, under the lights, crowd at Clifton Field when he allowed just three hits while striking out three in his 4 1/3 innings of work. Tim Finnegan then slammed the door in relief, entering with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth. He allowed just one inherited runner to score and was spotless the rest of the way, eliminating a final walked runner and a lot of loud mouths in the bottom of the seventh with a great pick-off. Jeff Peranteau was the offensive star of the game with two hits, two walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base. He played great defense at second and also scored a run from third when he beat the catcher back to the plate on a bases loaded dropped third strike. Chris Dougherty had a great game with two walks and a single, and Tommy Lyons had a big RBI single to go along with a walk and a steal. Defensively, Danny Hee made a fantastic over the shoulder catch and turned an unassisted double play from short while John O’Doherty started a pretty 5-4-3 DP from third to go along with a few other fine snags. He also doubled in the 7th. Pete Sabato called a smart game from behind the plate and had a punch out on an attempted steal.
