State Senator Barbara Favola of Arlington threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the ASBR Alliance League season at Greenbrier Park on Saturday, April 21st, prior to the Alliance League game between the Better Sports Club Rangers and the Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do Marlins. Pictured above with Senator Favola, from left to right, are Rex Birgisson, Blade Aliu, and Henry Bramham of the Rangers, and Michael Timpane, Michael Dewhirst, and Brandon Timpane of the Marlins.
In the crisply played contest, the Marlins came from behind and held on to win 9-7 in six innings. The Marlins were led by Emory Myers, who had a two-RBI double to tie the game in the bottom of the third at 4-4, and who made three key defensive plays at third base to help hold off the Rangers. The Marlin's Jordan Whalley-Hill launched a bases clearing double to take the lead, 7-4, in the fourth inning. Micheal Dewhirst, Cormal O'Donovan, and Mike Hewitt also pounded doubles. Whalley-Hill and Brandon Timpane toed the rubber for the Marlins. Southpaw Michael Timpane dampened the Rangers' rally in the sixth and final inning. For the Rangers, Quinn Montante rocketed two doubles, and Danny McCreedy earned three RBIs on a triple and a single. Montante and Matt Friedman shared the pitching duties for the Rangers.

The 2012 Arlington Senior Babe Ruth American League season will begin on May 12, following the conclusion of the high school varsity and junior varsity baseball season. Players eligible for the American League are those individuals who are 14 or 15 years old as of April 30, 2012 and play on a high school varsity or junior varsity spring season team (baseball, crew, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, and track). We expect to have four teams in the American League this year, with possibly some inter-league games on Sundays with other local Babe Ruth League teams. The majority of regular season games will be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with the playoffs and championship game set for late June. A new exciting development for this season is players will have the opportunity to play on the new synthetic turf field at Barcroft Park. A team of 14-year olds will participate in the Purcellville, Virginia Memorial Day Weekend Tournament scheduled for May 26-28. A team of 15-year olds will play in a local wooden bat tournament also over the Memorial Day Weekend. There will be a 14-year old District Team and a 15-year old District Team. Try outs for these two District Teams will be held in early-to-mid June. Beginning in late June running through late July, these 14-year old and 15-year old District Teams will play in the Babe Ruth District Tournament and other competitive tournaments. Mike Krulfeld will manage the 15-year old District Team.
We urge players to register as soon as possible so that we can finalize the team rosters. The registration fee for the Spring 2012 season is $145, with financial scholarships available. You can register and pay on-line. Please click here to begin the on-line registration process. You can also register by downloading registration and medical consent forms here.
I look forward to seeing some great baseball in the Arlington Senior Ruth American League this year. If you have any questions, please contact me at tdowdell@fulbright.com.
See you on the diamond and best of luck in your scholastic team endeavors.

| County Board Member Walter Tejada threw out the ceremonial first pitch. |
It was a great ASBR Alliance day which began with the completion of the rain postponed game from Friday night. The Italian Store Marlins defeated the Arlington Better Sports Club Nationals to earn a berth in the Championship game at Barcroft #6. The Championship game began with a ceremonial first pitch from The Honorable J. Walter Tejada of the Arlington County Board. It was rumored that Mr Tejada's fastball was once timed at 91 miles per hour!! (Mr. Tejada (second from left) posed with the Rangers' Ethan Greenhaus, the Marlins' Daniel Scholl, and ASBR Board Member Casey Triggs.) The first pitch was received by the Fiore & Levine Ranger's catcher Ethan Greenhaus with both teams lined up along the 1st & 3rd base lines. After the National Anthem was played, with the U.S. flag being held at the pitcher's mound by one of the Ranger's mothers, the Alliance Championship game began.
The Championship Game was a very well played game that was tied at 2-2 through 5 innings. The Fiore & Levine Rangers prevailed with the victory in 7 innings of play.
The medal ceremony for the Alliance Champion Fiore & Levine Rangers and the Alliance Runner-up Italian Store Marlins took place immediately following the game, along the 1st & third base lines. The Marlins Head Coach Ed Rozynski presented the medals to the Alliance Tourney Runner-up Marlins & Rangers head Coach Tom McNulty to the Alliance Tourney Champion Rangers. The regular season was completed with a pizza party, courtesy of the Alliance Rangers & Alliance Marlins parents, & a sheet cake courtesy of ASBR Alliance League.
A great day was had by all players, coaches & parents. Thanks to all the Alliance Coaches & Assistant Coaches. It was a great Alliance season, which is only possible with the help and cooperation of many unsung heroes.
