League action resumes on Sunday with an 11-game schedule at the four field Santaluces Complex, the Lantana Sports Complex and an 18AAA League game in Plantation. In that one, the Caribbean Tigres, tied for first with a 5-1 record, head south to meet the South Florida Beach Bums in a 4PM contest. The Beach Bums (2-4) are coming off an impressive 4-1 win over the Cardinals.
The fourth place Cardinals (3-2-1) are back in Palm Beach County after their unsuccessful journey to Plantation, and visit the third place Home Run Sports Yankees (4-1-1) in a 1:30PM game at the Lantana Complex. Chamos (5-1) will host a 9:30AM game there against the Palm Beach Wave (3-2-2).
Rounding out the 18AAA schedule, the Spartans (0-7) will be looking for their first win when they visit the Ameriland Leones (1-5) in a 9:30AM game at Santaluces.
In the 18AA League, the American Division leading Cuban Sugar Kings (7-0-1) visit the winless Royals (0-8) in a 1:30 game that follows the Spartans-Leones game at Field #1 at Santaluces.
The National Division's new leaders---the Warriors (5-2-1) are at the Marlins, only 2-6, but fully capable of pulling off a win as they did earlier this month over the Palm Beach Miracle, who were then undefeated and atop the division standings. That one is a 9:30AM game at Santaluces #4. Glory Days (4-3-1) is at the Brewers (1-7) in a 1:30PM game at Field #4.
Also at Santaluces, the Indians (4-4) will be seeking their fourth straight win when they visit the Super Sox (3-5) at 9:30AM on Field #2. That will be followed by a 1:30 matchup which will send the Mets against the home standing Palm Beach Miracle. The teams are tied for second place in the National circuit, both with 5-3 records.
There are two 18 games at Santaluces Field #3 Sunday. At 9:30, the American Division Hurricanes put their 6-2 record on the line against the National Division's Braves (3-5) in an interdivision matchup, while the Orioles (6-1-1) entertain the Mariners (3-5).
COACH OF THE YEAR HONORS FOR FORMER PALM BEACH LEAGUE PLAYERS
Joe Russo (Palm Beach Gardens), Andy Mook (Palm Beach Lakes), Scott Riddle (Wellington) and Larry Greenstein (Park Vista), all of whom have played in this league, were honored this week by being named High School Coach of the Year in their respective divisions this season. The league is proud to be a spring board for many who have gone on to coaching jobs. Among them are Miguel Cuello, Rob Kleska and Steve Capalbo. If you know of others who have coached or who now are coaching high school or college teams, please let us know.
A BLAST FROM THE PAST IS HERE AND NOW AT A LOCAL BEEF O' BRADY'S
If you remember Bob Camerlinck and son Bobby Jr. and the PALM BEACH SEA DOGS, you have been around this league for a while. The Camerlincks' won the 18A Spring 1995 championship, which was played at Little Fenway (Miller Park) in Delray Beach. Bob Jr. hit a solo homer in the 10th inning over the Green Monster Wall in left field, his third hit of the game, to give the Sea Dogs a 6-5 victory over a team called A BUNCH OF GUYS. That earned Bob Jr the championship game MVP award.
We recently discovered that the Camerlinck's are still around and still part of a winnng team. They are partners in a BEEF O' BRADY'S franchise in Royal Palm Beach. Their Beef O' Brady's is in a shopping center at 1179 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, at the corner of Okeechobee Boulevard, offering fun and food for the entire family, and it is very inexpensive. By the way, it's a great place to watch all kinds of sports events, especially baseball, since they have the MLB Baseball package and you can watch ball games on their huge TVs. And, Beef O' Brady's just might be willing to help out our league with some sponsorship money. Maybe they can help us and we can help them in their new business venture. Beef O'Brady's in Royal Palm Beach is handy from anywhere, but especially when our teams are playing at Seminole Palms Park in Royal Palm. Good luck to the Camerlinck's.
