Sharon Center Wins AA League Title
On Thursday night, Sharon Center Cox Painting locked up the Greater Akron AA Baseball League title by defeating the 356th Fighter Group Storm 2-1. Sharon Center won the game with one out in the bottom of the 7th on a RBI double by catcher Greg Schwehm. With the game scoreless through five innings, the Storm broke through in the Top of the 6th. Ted Hardy led off with a single and the Storm loaded the bases on consecutive misplayed bunts by Sharon Center. With no outs and Sharon Center playing their infield in, Storm shortstop Randall Hoffman hit a shot that Sharon Center shortstop Ron Spears made a diving grab to stop. A run scored, but it saved what could have been the start to a big inning. Sharon Center pitcher, Nathan Miller, would go on to get the next two hitters out and keep the score at 1-0. Sharon Center would bounce back in the Bottom of the 6th to tie the score on a RBI double by Anthony Konefal. Then in the Bottom of the 7th, Ron Spears would reach on an error with one out, Rod Lane would single, and then Schwehm would deliver the game winning hit, scoring John Luebke who pinch ran for Spears. The double, was Schwehm's third double of the Championship Series. Miller would pick up the victory, going the distance for Sharon Center. He scattered eight hits, walked one batter, and struck out three. Bryan Celik was the tough luck loser for the Storm. Celik also allowed eight hits, walked four batters, and struck out four. Sharon Center finishes their season with a 28-10 mark, while the Storm finishes at 29-11-1.
Congratulations go out to Sharon Center and Sharon Center's manager/sponsor Don Cox on a great season. It was a great series for the teams involved and the AA League as a whole.

Sharon Center Takes Game One
Sharon Center scored 3 runs in the top of the 1st inning and held on to defeat the Storm 5-4 to go up 1-0 in the AA League Championship. Sharon Center would start the 1st inning by loading the bases with no outs against Storm pitcher Walt Samson. Greg Schwehm would plate the first run of the game on a Sac Fly. Then back to back RBI singles by Anthony Konefal and Nathan Miller would stake Sharon Center to a 3-0 lead. Sharon Center added another run in the 3rd inning to make the score 4-0 before the Storm decided to get back into the game. The Storm would score a run of their own in the 3rd inning on a RBI single by Steve Deitrick to make it 4-1 and then another run in the 6th on a RBI double by Bryan Youngblood to make it 4-2. With two outs and no one on base for Sharon Center in the top of the 7th, Ron Spears singled, moved around to third on a Greg Schwehm double, and scored on a single by Anthony Konefal. This would prove to be a huge insurance run as the Storm mounted a rally in the bottom of the 7th. The Storm would score two runs on a fielders choice and a RBI single by Ted Hardy to make the score 5-4. With the tying run on third and the winning run on first, Sharon Center pitcher Alan Frame was able to finish off the victory by getting a pop out to third. Steven Youngblood went 2 for 3 with two runs scored for the Storm.
