The MIBL Marcus Chimbur Columbus Day Tourney
was hosted by the Men's Independant Baseball League (MIBL)
to raise funds for Marcus Chimbur, a 9-year old boy from
Brockton who was diagnosed with Leukemia this June on the
day before he was to play in his first all-star game.
Six teams from five different leagues participated,
including the Boston Commons from the MABL. Other teams
included the Hyde Park Braves from the BABL, Brockton Legion
Post 35, Pembroke AAU, and MIBL A Squad and MIBL B Squad.
The Boston Commons got as far as the finals, before being
crushed by the MIBL A Squad, 12-3. Alan Donaruma of the
Hurricanes was named the MABL MVP for tossing a complete
game shutout and smacking a 3-run homerun the next game.
There was also a Homerun Derby, where Red
Sox legend Oil Can Boyd pitched. Kevin Bell of the Orioles
went yard against Boyd, while Kevin Beliveau of the Dodgers
also connected. |
