Marlins Win 2010 Fall Championship

The Marlins captured the 2010 Fall championship by besting the Killer Bees in two closely contested games. In game 1, the Marlins jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, but then held off a late rally by the Killer Bees to win 4-2. In game 2, the Killer Bees took an early 3-1 advantage, but the Marlins eventually tied the score at four before scratching out a fifth and deciding run in the top of the tenth inning. The victory gave the Marlins their second Fall championship in league history.

Queens Express Beats Outsiders, Repeats as Champs

Queens Express became the first GHSBL team to repeat as champions in 10 years thanks to a second consecutive series victory over the Outsiders. In the first game of the championship rematch, the Outsiders took an early 2-0 lead and then rallied to tie the game at 3-3 in the seventh, but Queens Express had the last laugh with a walk off 4-3 victory in the eighth. The Outsiders also got on the board first in the second game, but Queens Express stormed back with nine runs over the final four innings and cruised to a 9-4 clincher.

GHSBL Mourns Loss of Mel Santiago

The GHSBL regrets to announce the untimely passing of Mel Santiago, who was a long time member of the Marlins. Mel always played hard and was a friend to many, so his presence at the field each Satruday will be sorely missed. The league extends its condolences to the Marlins, Mel’s family and all who knew him.
