Scott West did what few people could ever do and few people would ever want to do. Down on the Florida MSBL trip last month, Scott West stepped up on the mound and stopped the bleeding for the Delaware Pirates and pitched 6 innings of relief while giving up zero runs in a 7-4 loss to the Berks Bombers. The next morning he took the mound again and pitched a gem against the DC Mustangs and secured a 6-1 win. With this being a double header day, he started the second game of the double header and provided a 4-2 win against the Columbus Reds. All of these games are 9 innings so the total innings for consecutive innings pitched over basically 24 hours for Scott was 24 straight innings with two wins and a no decision. Now that is sick. Not bad for a days work.

Sam Rogers scored from second in the Bottom of the 8th in extra innings after Brandon Flythe singled up the middle. Sam Rogers walked to lead off the bottom of the 8th inning and was moved into scoring position on a Sacrafice bunt by Marc Decaro.  Then teh hit by Flythe brought Rogers in to give Home Mattress the Championship title. Winning pitcher was Clint Khul. Chad Siemendinger threw 4 innings in a no decision for Home Mattress. Congrats to Max Beheler and the entire Home Mattress team. Great series by Gildea Raiders providing one of the more dramatic finishes in the past few years.

True story. A fish was found in the dugout at Eder park so the game is going to be played on Thursday at Banning Park Under the lights at 7:00 pm. Good luck to both teams. I am sure all of their arms are when rested.

Bottom of the sixth with the score 7 to 6 in favor of the Raiders, Jeff Young doubles to drive in R.T. Plumpski and Joe Kruemmer which proved to be the winning run of game 4. Steve Spiese was the winning pitcher going 6 innings and compiling 10 strike outs. Mike Latham picked up the save for Spiese. Jeff Young was 2 for 4 with 2 rbis. For Home Mattress, Pedro Swann was 4 for 4 with rbis in a losing effort. Game 5 tonight at Eder Park 7pm.

Chad Simendinger threw a complete game 5 hitter and picked up some timely offense from Josh Kempa.  Josh Kempa was 2 for 2 with a solo home run and a double with 2 rbi's.

Game 3 is Tonight at Banning Park 7Pm. This is game 3 in the best of 7 series.

Raiders Score first with a bases loaded put out at first to give them the lead in the first haf an inning. Brandon Flyth was hit by a pitch as the lead off hitter for Home Mattress and was followed up by back to back singles by Bryan Fitgerald and Jordan Oncay. Pedro Swan then hit into a 6-4-3 double play that brought in Flythe for the first run for Home Mattress.  Fitzgerald scored in the 3rd on a wild pitch and Swann Singles in Oncay who had singled earlier in the inning. In the fourth inning Marc Decaro singles and Flythe reaches base on his second hit batsman of the game. Decaro scores on an errant throw by the short stop to bring the score to 4-1.  Pedro Swan hits a line drive home run in the 5the innning to make the final score 5-1 (Home Mattress 1-0, Gildea Raiders 0-1).

Swann was 2 for 3 with 2 rbis and a home run while Jordan Oncay and Brian Fitgerald were both 2 for 4 in this game.
Clint Khul was the winning pitcher. Clint threw a 2 hitter with 4 K's, 2 walks and one earned run.

Tuesday 6:15 PM was the start of this game. It is tied 4-4 in the 8th after two dys of not being able to finish up up game two of the series. Game time tonight is 7:00 oclock at Banning to finally close this one out. Should be close to 48 hours and counting.

Longest game in the history of Semi Pro took place in 1958 and was played over four consecutive nights between Parkway and St. Anthony's. It does not state who won that game.

Play in game on Friday between Damiani Tile and Blue Coats at 6:15 (Banning Park). 4 teams are done and it always seems to come down to that last game or a play in game to make that last team of the elite 4 in teh Delaware Semipro league. This year has been no exception. Biggest game of both of these franchises lives will take place at Banning and will decide who will move on and who will be playing par three at Vince's golf course on Monday.

Best of luck to both team. Both team have been hot and cold all year and will come down to who is ready to sacrifice one more time to get the chance to play in the play offs this season.

Home Mattress and Walter's Collectibles will play the 8:30 pm at Banning to see if a game is needed between Pro and Home Mattress to decide the season champ.

If Home Mattress loses, they will have to play Pro to see who takes the regular season championship.

       Todd Menchaca doubled home Joe Fowler who had doubled, in the bottom of the 7th for the walk-off win for Pro Physical Therapy.  Jamie Treml pitched 6 strong innings, fanning 8. David Eissner earned the win in relief. Doug Eitelman had 2 hits and an RBI for Gildea's.

Matt Klackiewicz threw a 3 hitter across 7 innings while allowing only one earned run and piling up 9 strikeouts against the Hy-points Dragons inDelaware Semi-Pro action on Wednesday night. Josh Tatnall was 3 for 3 including a double in the third inning and scored the game deciding run. John Schorah was 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored and Rob Priest was 2 for 3 with a run scored. The biggest hit of the game was a two out double off the bat of ryan Shaw that plated 2 runs in the second inning. Damiani Tile improves their record to 11 - 5 holding a 1/2 game lead for second place with Gildea's Raiders right behind them.

Jimmy Okoniewski strike out 14 in 8 2/3 but get the loss for Pro Physical Therapy in Delawarte Semi Pro Action on Friday. Josh Tatnal doubles in the 9th inning and then scores on a 2 out walk off single from the bat of  Mark Wilhelm. Jeff Sandstrum pitched 6 1/3 innings for Damiani Tile before Jesse Jamison came in to strike out 5 batters in 2 2/3 innings and got the win with the walk off single from Wilhelm.

I am sure some of these are rainouts, but I need to know whether they are rain outs or if that games were played and what the scores were for the games.

As everyone knows we go by the rules of Major League Baseball and more specifically, the American League rules. Bamboo, Two Piece, and Composite bats have been deemed illegal. Many bats have been seen in game use and will be acted upon by the umpires.

From an e-mail with the Umpire Association:

After checking with Dave Farone DIAA and IBUA rules interpreter, the composite bat IS illegal -- yes, if discovered/challenged BEFORE next pitch the batter is called out -- any advancement by runner(s) is nullified and returned to original base -- hope this gives insight to the question.   IBUA

Brett Brothers bats, Dimarini bats, Baboo bats, and bats from Louisville with the Coating over top with the Rings located at the sweet spot are some of the examples of the illegal bats.

Rose Beheler passed away into the arms of God this morning. Rose was a sweet woman that deeply loved her family. Rose was the real general Manager of the Home Budget/Mattress team and would constantly tell Max Beheler (Manager of Home Mattress) who should and should not play as the season progressed.

Please pray for peace for the family of Rose Beheler in this time of need.

     Billy Phillips was drafted by the Dodgers in the early 80's and played also for Gildea's Raiders after his professional

career. Billy was a leader on the field and commanded the game when the ball was in his hands. Billy was a hard thrower

with a very good slider and was never afraid to come inside to to take his plate back away from the hitters. Billy was a

great player and person that played for Brandywine, Health South and Canada Dry in the Delaware Semi-Pro Baseball

League where he compiled a Win/Loss record of 82-53. He pitched in 215 games while throwing 93 complete games and

 shutting out teams 15 times over his career. Bily Finished 3rd overall for wins with his 82 wins. He will be greatly missed

by his family and friends. We will miss you "Lips".  

Funeral will be Wednesday, February 9th 10:30 AM at Grace Church across from the Concord Mall on Rt. 202.

Duffie's won the Delaware Semi Pro Championship behind a strong pitching effort from John Dischert, scattering six hits and striking out 9.  Offensively, the Lions were led by Mike Godwin, who's 2 RBI triple in the third broke the game open.  This is the teams' second straight championship, and first for new team owner and former University of Delaware player Andre Duffie.

I am starting the list up again for interested players to sign up so Managers can get in touch with players that they may need for thier team this season. Compose an e-mail and send it to batdoctor@comcast.net with information on your baseball prowess. Give us info on age, what school/College/Pro experince you have, positions played, any accolades (that is a big word for awards), and what you strengths are as a ball player.

6'0" 205lbs Throw: Right Bat: Right, I am 18 years old a recent graduate of McKean High School and looking for a team to continue my career with. I play first base mainly but can play all postions, just some with a little less ease. I prefer the corners, I can hit to all fields, and in the gaps with ease. I cant say I have any honors seeing as though I went to McKean, but I had a great junior and senior year. I'm looking to walk on at Del-Tech or some college when the next season begins, so I'd like somewhere to play for now, with the highest skill level possible

Dave Eissner pitched Pro Physical Therapy past Walter's 4-0. Eissner struckout six allowing 2 hits over 5 scoreless innings. Mark Lemon scored two runs and Tommy Crist had 2 hits and a RBI to lead the Pro.

Pro Physical Therapy is a 1/2 game out of first with 3 games left to play.

Sorry to be a pain, but I have been getting grief about the website not being updated. I have only recieved 12 boxscores so far nad I have put those scores into the website. 39 games have been played to this date and out of that I have only recieved 12. 69% are still missing out there and the fans and players do not get to see what is going on with the league. A lot of people look at this site as a reference point for games schedules and standings.

Please subnit a copy to Batdoctor@comcast.net when a game is completed in addition to sending it to teh News Journal and Max Beheler.

   Stan Plastek hit for the cycle, going 5-for-5 with a grand-slam home run, as C.Wallace Insurance bombed Wilmington Truck Body 21-6 in a Delaware Semi-pro Baseball League game at 18th and Van Buren Monday.

   Paul Niggebrugge went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI for first-place C. Wallace, 15-4, and Dave Lawson won his fifth game against one defeat.

   Bob Carpenter and Kevin Shockley had two RBI each for Wilmington Truck Body, 2-19.

   This game took place on 7/11/1983. It has been updated to the record book as the hitting for the cycle was over looked in the record book. Only two players have hit for the cycle in Delaware Semi-pro history. Stan Plastek did it in 1983 and Bill Falasco did it in 1969 for Canada Dry.

    Opening day providied a new Record for Base on Balls. Hy-Point and Delaware Blue Coats set the record with 21 combined Base on Balls in a single game. Blue Coats won the game by the score of 8 to 6.  The previous record was recorded in 1981 on May 26th in a game between Delaware Stars and C. Wallace Insurance.

 You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the (bad word removed) plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

I am interested in playing baseball again this summer, played two years ago on the RC Pirates.  My contact number is 302-293-1860. Catcher

Highlights - Gildeas Stars won the best of seven championship Behind the arm of J. R. McAllistar and the
Bat of Ryan Griffin.  McAllistar threw a complete game, giving up 2 hits and striking out 12.  Ryan Griffins'
3 run home run in the first inning was all the offense the Stars needed.

Congrats to the Stars, Billy Cannon and Bob Gildea for a great end to a great season.

Raiders scored 6 runs in the 6th inning to beat the Stars 8-2 to even up the series.

The raiders took advantage of sloppy play in the bottom of the 6^th to even the series at one game apiece.    A great pitching matchup between two of the leagues’ best pitchers, the Raiders’ Brett Urban and the Stars’ J. R. McAllistar, it was the Raiders who took advantage of 4 errors in the bottom of the six to get the win.  Up to that point, the Stars held a 2-0 advantage on an RBI single by Frank Devonshire in the second and an unearned run in the 4^th.  Both pitchers held serve until the 6^th, when the wheels came off the Star’s wagon defensively.  4 errors and 7 runs later, the game was no longer in doubt.  Urban quietly retired the side in the 7^th for the win.  Offensively, The Raiders were led by Doug Eitleman and Jose Rivera who each had two hits.  

   Gildea's Stars took game one in the championship series in an 8 inning thriller. Gildea's Raiders took a 2 run lead into the top of the 7th on an rbi single by Mark Moser and an infield error. The Stars came back in the bottom of the inning to tie the game on an rbi triple by Brian Short and a fielding error. In the eigth inning, the Stars loaded the bases with one out and Brian Short singled in the game winning run with an rbi single. Mike Godwin picked up the win in relief, shutting the Raiders down in order in the top half of the 8th. Soley was 3-3 with 2 rbi's and Brian Short went 4 for 5 with 3 runs scored and 3 rbi's to allow the Stars to Edge The Raiders 7-6 in extra innings. Garcias started and threw 5 2/3 innings and struke out 5 while walking 3.

Game 2 Tuesday at 7 PM at Banning Park.

Home Mattress took the Season Title last night with a 3-0 win against the Bucco's. Clint Kuhl threw a complete game shut out and helped Home Budget win its second Season Title in its history. With the score tied 0-0 in the 5th inning, Marc Decaro ripped a 2 RBI double down the right field line. This win give Home Mattress it's second Cartwright Trophy over the past 3 seasons. 

Bucco's face elimination from the play-offs with no games remaining on thier schedule, but still have a shot for a "Play In" game if Damiani Tile losses the rest of their games. Damiani has 3 more games. In this league, it has happended before. They was a 3 way tie for 4th place a few years ago and I believe the Bucco's were involved in that 3 way tie.

Jerry took his normal position at a Delaware Semi-Pro game, just to the left of the left field line. Most players play between the lines, but Jerry is definitely in the Delaware Semi-pro Hall of fame for Most Foul Balls retrieved in the history of the DSPBL. It was a bad night for Jerry, in that he did not get any foul balls last night at Rockford Park. So on the foul ball meter, it remains at 1,065. trying to get Jerry to start submitting stories about this league and its players past and present. Between Jerry and Bert Talley, there would be some great stories and remembrances.

There are a few weird ground rules in our league since we play on open fields most of the time. At Rockford Park, if a ball is hit down the left field line and rolls foul after 3rd base and before the crest of the hill that is 322' away, it is to be ruled a ground rule double. If it lands fair in left field and rolls foul after the crest of the hill it will be all the runner can get. On any of the fields (except for Dickinson, Banning and DelCastle) at the end of the foul fence a ball that is caught after the fence should be ruled an out if the fielder does not go into the dead area at a 90 degree angle from the fence line. If you catch and carry into the dead ball area the ball is deemed dead and no runners can advance.

The following excerpt is taken from the Delaware Semi Pro baseball rules regarding Canby and Rockford.   The flags or cones should be placed at the top of the hill in left field. If no Flag or cone is placed out there it is the umpires discretion to determine if it went out before or after the crest of the hill.

a. With respect to the left field foul flags at Canby Park and Rockford Park, and the right field foul flag at 18th and Van Buren, any fair batted ball bouncing into foul territory before these foul flags shall limit the runners to two bases, with the runners advancing said two bases at their own peril. Play is dead once the runners reach their second advanced base. The batter-runner is the determining factor. 

b Any fair batted ball bouncing into foul territory beyond the left field foul flags at Canby Park and Rockford Park, and the right field foul flag at 18th and Van Buren, or any fair batted ball bouncing into foul territory in right field at Canby Park and Rockford Park and in left field at 18th and Van Buren, shall not limit the runners and the runners may advance any number of bases at their own peril,

    Bucco's and Hy-Point met last week at Rockford Park and had a marathon of hits. So many hits, that it is a new record for "Most Hits in A Game Between Two Teams". 34 hits were compiled between the two teams last Friday. Bucco's had 12 hits and  Hy-Point had 22. The previous record was held by two teams. In 1966, Parkway beat Canada Dry 26-6 and 32 hits were banged out in this game. C.
