League Championship Results

Congratulations to the

They completed a season where they were in first place from start to finish by beating a very game Red Sox team, which seemed destine to win their third straight playoff. The Angels trailed but battled all game long and couldn't seem to get the big hit when they needed it. That was until the 6th inning, when Jeff Kross doubled to tie the score and the 8th, when Eric Rembecky singled home the winning run. Angels' Mathew Smith got the win in relief while Red Sox James Agabashian took the loss, despite pitching well. There were three home runs in the game, one each by Red Sox Brandon Pires and Agabashian and the Angels' starter, Zac Sturdivant.

The Angels were Zac Sturdivant, Jeffery Kross, Aaron Chavez, Dawson Houlihan, Mathew Smith, Malcolm Smith, Michael Austin, Eric Rembecky, Christian Montalvo, Sergio Olivas, Pedro Gonzalez, and Michael Dean.

They were managed by Steve Rembecky and coached by Chris Smith, Larry Chavez, and J.D. Sturdivant.

Some teams last year raised as much as $600.00 with the clothing drive.

Opening Day was a success and the games were FANtatstic!  Fans got to see some great baseball as all three games were hard fought and close for the majority of the game.  Game #1 saw a fantastic pitching performance by newcomer Spencer Gunn as the Cardinals beat the A's 13 to 2.  The A's hung tough for the first 5 innings until the Cards bats put it away.

Game #2 might be one for the Upland Pony Record books, 2010 opening day saw a combined no hitter from the Dodgers pitchers, while game #2 Saturday saw two aces go head to head without blinking as the Angels nipped the Giants 1-0.  Angels Jeffery Cross mowed down 14 Giant hitters while newcomer Cesar Fregoso struck out 13.

Game #3 pitted the Red Sox and Robbie Armatas against the Cubs and Andrew Contreras.  The game was tight from start to finish with the Cubs nipping the Red Sox 3 to 2.  Red Sox Jason Gutierrez when deep for the losing Red Sox.

The Upland Pony League would like to offer its deepest sympathies to the Killebrew and Hockin families. Baseball great Harmon Killebrew died of esophageal cancer at his home in Peoria, Arizona on May 17th, 2011, at the age of 74. Harmon had a 22 year career with the Minnesota Twins in which he hit 573 home runs. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1984.

"May all your best memories of him stay with you forever and comfort you in your moments of sorrow"
