On Saturday, June 24th, the Norfolk Baseball Association AAA League
Championship Game took place under threatening skies at the Major Field
in Norfolk. Norfolk Town Pizza (10-3-1) and The Bulfinch Group (9-4)
arrived at the championship game with almost identical season records.
The Bulfinch Group was off to a great start with 4 runs early in the
game, but then pitching and defense took over for both teams resulting
in 4 scoreless innings. It was the bottom of the 6th when Town Pizza
opened it up. With smart at bats and some key hits, Pizza was able to
tie the score at 4.
Rain was looming overhead as the 7th and 8th innings went scoreless.
Bulfinch struck back first with 2 runs in the top of the 9th, but Pizza
was having none of that. Under pressure, Pizza battled back with some
critical hits and great base running. With one out, in the bottom of the
9th, Pizza's patience finally paid off with a great hit up the middle to
drive in the winning run. The final score Norfolk Town Pizza 7, The
Bulfinch Group 6. An exciting end to an exciting season!

Dugan. Norfolk Town Pizza players include: Eric Cote, Bobby Dugan,
Michael Dusseault, Joe Johnston, Nick Konieczny, Louie Newsom, Vanessa
