Roosters Men’s Grooming Center - Three did turn out to be a charm for Marty Harrison’s Frickers’ #3 ball club in the Legend’s League Tournament Championship game.
The Men of Roosters had beaten Frickers’ #3 twice before during the regular season, but finally succumbed to a wicked hitting attack. The much anticipated rematch looked fairly lopsided for most of the game with Frickers’ #3 holding a commanding 16-3 lead after five innings. The Monsters of Monroe Street finally found their bats, scoring four runs in the sixth and then mounting a furious rally in the seventh inning by scoring eight more runs. Unfortunately, the rally came up just short with the potential game tying run at bat when the final out was recorded. Thanks go out to Kevin Koepfer for bringing out his live Rooster to root us on at the game. Congratulations to Marty and his Frickers’ #3 teammates on a well-deserved championship! To my Men of Roosters, what an awesome bunch of teammates and thank you for making this season so memorable!
