This totally bogs my mind!!

As me and his father Scott where getting a little nostalgic over some of the past games we played in and getting a little concerned about Nates pitch count Nate recorded his 7th K of the game while retireing the last 14 batters he faced after giving up a scratch single in the 2nd inning. Billy Rice delivered 2 rbi's on the night with a ground out in the 1st and a hard liner in the fourth to lead the offense. Next game is at home on Thursday!!

Thursday, October 19 Mike Pizzutillo Announces Retirement From Tri County League!!!
I'm sad to announce that Mike Pizzutillo will no longer be playing for Conlin baseball. Mike has accepted a job in the beautiful Orange County, California. I would like to thank Mike for the great four years he gave to us and that we all know he will be greatly missed on and off the field. Pizz was not only a great baseball player but he was great friend to me and anybody that he came in contact with. Mike Pizzutillo was one of if not the most dominant pitchers in the league; take a look at his stats which are minus many masterpieces in the playoffs. In 96 innings he posted a 12-2 record allowing only 53 hits, had 107 K's, had 41BB's, with a tiny 1.46 ERA!!! I want to wish Pizz the best of luck with his new job and hopes he finds a league he can hook up with. It would be a crime if a guy with that talent didn't pitch. Pizz, you will missed!!!

Conlin's manager Pete Conlin was on the verge of pulling Pizz in the 1st inning when the big right hander said he would pitch thru the pain. After a few magic pills and some magic heating balm, the chiropractic father of Joe Madilli twisted and turned Pizz into a pretzel and amazingly he gained about 10 MPH on his fastball.

On a night when James "Milkman" Malko pitched well enough to earn a easy victory, bad defense and spotty hitting cost Conlin baseball a victory over a game Camden squad. Conlin baseball managed only 8 hits while committing 5 errors and a number of other plays that was costly to the cause. James Malko deserved a better outcome than taking the loss.

Roughriders scored 4 runs in the dark in the top of the 6th to take a one run lead, Conlin baseball loaded the bases (in the dark) with nobody out when Pete Conlin hit Corey Hoffman with a batted ball for the 1st out.

Game Overshadowed By Shocking News!!!
On a day that I should be talking about a great pitching performance I feel it would be very selfish to do so at this time. After our game last night Ryan Iannelli informed me that he will more than likely be out for the remainder of the summer due to him being diagnosed with testicular cancer. If Ryan battles this obstacle as half as hard as he battles on the baseball field he will be back on the diamond stealing bases and tracking down gappers in the outfield in no time. As a team our thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan and to the rest of his family for a very quick and speedy recovery.
Kelly's Investment Wins Title #8!!!!
Kelly's Investments which was trailing the series 1-0 fought back and won the next 2 games to take home there league record 8th title. Kepple Carpet's which was the defending champions where an outstanding team and played the series with class and good hard nosed baseball. In game 2 of the series Kelly's was missing some key players which meant that starting pitcher Kevin Burg would have to bat for the first time since the 8th grade. Well, who knew that was a blessing in disguise as Burg lined a 2 out line drive to knock in the 1st run of the game. Burg scattered 9 hits and pitched his was out of numerous jams including a 2nd and 3rd and nobody out in the bottom of the 5th. Burg induced an infield fly a strike out and a circus catch by 1st baseman Pete Conlin who had a pop out lined up until it popped out of his glove and bounced straight up into the air, Conlin recovered and caught the ball just before it hit the ground. Corey Hoffman drove in the 2nd run with an Rbi single. Kepples didn't quit and had runners on 1st and 3rd with a run in and 2 outs and Burg got the final out on another more conventional pop out to Conlin to end the game. Game 3 was little easier and a little less nerve racking. Nick Sbarra got Kelly's off to quick start with a 2 run HR in the bottom of the 1st but Kepple quickly answered with a solo HR in the top of the 2nd. From there it was the Justin Callahan show as he bombed a 2 run HR and also had a 2 Rbi single later in the game. Mike Pizzitillo pitched a solid if not spectacular performance going the distance and striking out 7. The final out was recorded with Pizz blazing a fastball by the hitter and the celebration was on. I want to thank everybody that played this year and put in the time and the effort to win back the championship. Pictures are up in the baseball photos section!! See you guys next year!!!

Click on James "The Milkman" Malko's picture for the details.
Barbara Set To Retire!!!
I'm getting really tired of writing depressing news on this site but I have one more that I need to pass on. Tri County legend Dan Barbara has expressed interest in retiring from player/coach to pursue other avenues in his illustrious baseball career. Dan has decided to dedicate the time he has set aside for baseball this year to take over as head coach for a 14 and under travel team. With the amount of time that is needed for his team and other obligations it will be almost impossible for him to play any Tri County baseball this year. Of course he will have a lifetime roster spot as long as we have a team in the league. This is going to be a very odd and strange year for me because this will be the first season in 23 years that I will not play a competitive baseball game with the player/friend whos ability I have admired since I was 11 years old. Anybody who has had the chance to play with or against Dan over the years has seen not only a great player but a great person. Please take the time and look at at Dan's career records and stats and realize that 5 years of his stats are not even included. The incredible numbers he has put up year in and year out don't even scratch the surface of what he has meant to this team over the 18 years we have been in this league. I want to personally thank Dan for all the sacrifices he has made over the years to insure that we had a competitive team and to make sure things ran as smoothly as possible. I'm still holding out hope that Dan will be back in the near future and hope that the rest of us can carry on what Dan was best at. WINNING!!!!
PERFECT GAME!!! PERFECT GAME!!! BURG HURLS A GEM!!!!
In a game that will not soon to be forgotten Kevin Burg pitched the 1st perfect game in franchise history. On a night that it looked very iffy if the game was even going to be played Kevin Burg pitched his way into Tri-County and Kelly Investment's history books. 24 up and 24 down, that's right, the game went extra innings and KI was able to scratch a run out in the bottom of the 8th inning to take a 1-0 victory over Pro-Tryouts.com. Kevin Burg had 5 strikeouts on the night and was never in any real danger of giving up a hit. In the top of the 3rd inning Brandon Anderson made a very nice diving play in center field to keep the perfecto alive. Burg cruised the rest of the way including striking out the side in the 6th. In the bottom of the 8th inning Joe Madilli came up with 2 outs in the inning and lined a single to left center to keep the inning alive. With Justin Callahan batting Madilli stole 2nd and went to 3rd on a wild pitch. Callahan scratched a walk out and that brought up the always dangerous Frank Galeota. They decided to intentional walk Galeota to load the bases for Corey "Stone Cold Don't Bunt" Hoffman and on a 1-1 pitch Corey lined a single to right to end the game and give Kevin Burg his perfect game and raising his season record to 4-0.
Hoffman Brothers Have Huge Night!!!
On a night that the our pitching was a little off the Hoffman brothers made sure the outcome would be a victory for Kelly Investments. Kevin, Corey, and Ryan Hoffman combined to go 8-12 with 3 doubles, 2 Homeruns, 5 Rbi's, and 7 runs scored leading to a 10-7 victory over West Deptford last night. Steve Roop picked up the victory in relief of Justing Callahan. Brandon Anderson came in and closed the game out in the 7th striking out 2. Next game is tonight against the Roughriders at Radnor Ave.

Hey!!! Where Did All The Runs Go???
Kelly Investment's who where averaging 9.6 runs a game in their 1st 7 victories of the season managed only one run last night in a 5-1 defeat to Hardenburg/Pete's. The score was somewhat misleading as Kelly's hit the ball hard all night with nothing to show for it. Frank Galeota (3hits), Brandon Anderson (2 hits), and Nick Sbarra who also chipped in with 2 hits as well as his 1st Home Run of the season accounting for the only run of the night.

Rich Janofsky continued swinging a hot bat going 3-3 with an Rbi and Dave Koerner got his 1st hit and Rbi of the year with a single in the 7th.
WE FORFEIT!! WE FORFEIT!! WE FORFEIT!!!
For the 1st time in over 630 games and spanning 18 years the Washington Township/Mark W. Edwards/Dr. Connor/Ott's/KI Investments franchise suffered it's first ever forfeit. Not only did we forfeit the game but we could only manage to come up with 4 position players 2 pitchers and Freddy Bianculli who we called at 4:30 and was willing to come out of retirement to help us out. And to add insult to injury we had to pay the $86 dollars for the umpires. The league has a rule if you forfeit 2 times in a season your out. Well, we have one. And with a very solid 15-18 position players and another 6-7 pitchers that should never happen. We have a game that was not originally on the schedule that will be played tomorrow night at 6:10 at the Bellmawr rec field. It's right off of Creek rd going down route 42. Let's hope this is a onetime thing because if it isn't we will be done.

This One Is Going To Leave A Mark!!!
Well fellas this is the 3rd straight year I've had to write a article like this and to be perfectly frank with you it totally sucks. This is the hardest I've ever taken a playoff loss and I can't really say why. Maybe it's the way we lost the two games, maybe I'm just getting a little older and realize my chances of winning another title are slowing slipping away. All I know is this really hurts. But, I will tell you this, I'm coming back next year and probably the year after that and the year after that until we get this title back. I felt very strong about our chances this year with the lineup we could put out there. But, when you play a short series anything can happen and it did. Nothing we can do about it except to suck it up and take our medicine and come back next year and try to get it right. I want to take the time now to thank Danny Barbara who helped me during the year with uniforms, sponsers, phone calls, and many other behind the scenes things this year. Also, a thank you to Kevin Hoffman who made sure we where playing on a playable field by coming out hours before the game to drag, water, and whatever else he needed to do to get the field ready. Also, I want to thank Shea Harris and Ryan Iannelli for making every game this year. It makes my job alot easier knowing you guys where going to be there every game no matter what. And of course I have to thank Mike Koerner, James Malko, and Corey Hoffman for coming out of retirements and helping our squad immensely. I hope you guys enjoyed yourself this summer and hope to have you all back next year and that goes for the rest of you guys who played this year. I may be getting a little soft in my old age but I'm going to miss you guys and can't wait to start playing again next year.

Mike Koerner had the honor of taking the clean up spot last night.
MISUNDERSTANDING!!!!!
I have to retract my previous post about the league and other teams questioning the eligibility of two of our players. It was all a big misunderstanding. There was a little lack of communication between Rick Ventura and Pete Corelli that caused the fuss. I had called Rick the night of our league meeting and gave him the players that where to be removed from our roster. Rick did not contact Pete about this until the next afternoon. With me not being at the meeting and Pete Corelli not having our roster update caused a little confusion. All is well and let's get ready for the playoffs.

If you click on Dan's picture it will take you to the Courier Post that put it in an article about half way down the page.

All Good Things Must Come To An End!!!
We had one helluva run fellas!! Winning 5 titles in a row and making it to the championship round 9 straight years will never be matched in this league ever again. And I don't know about the rest of you but I can't wait for next year so we can start a new streak. This taste of losing is something I'm not used to and I don't like at all. I just want to tell you guys that this team means the world to me and I hope that we keep this same group of guys together for years to come. The friendships that we have developed on this team thru the years is second to none and thats what makes this team so great. We have stayed together for many summers and have had some great memories and don't forget that. So let's put this year behind us and be prepared to get that title back which deep down everybody knows is ours. I also want to take the time and thank Dan Barbara who has been the backbone of this team from day 1. Not only for his playing abilities but for the stuff he does behind the scenes. The amount of time and effort he puts into this team is like having a 3rd job during the summer. So hats off to you Hanna!!! See you guys next year!!!
No Tri-County Champion For 2003!!!
For those of you who have not heard, there will be no winner in the 2003 Tri-County season. Roberto Clemente used numerous players that where not on their playoff roster and numerous ugly confrontations with players, fans, and umpires. Hardenburg\Pete's decided not to protest the illegal players and just play the series out. In the bottom of the 3rd a Clemente baserunner ran into the 1st baseman and a scuffle broke out. Police had to be called and the commisioner of the league decided not to finish or try to play game three. The coaches will be meeting Tuesday night to decide whether to keep Clemente in the league. I'll keep you posted.

HOFFMAN TO COME OUT OF RETIREMENT!!

All you need to know about Corey is he is a flat out winner and would run over his mother if it meant the winning run. And by the way, Stone Cold doesn't bunt!!!
