(MABL) / National 12, American 9 (MSBL)
Site: LeLacheur Stadium, Lowell, MA
MVP: Santi Mazzeo, Athletics (MABL)
Date: July 7, 2007
In the MSBL game, the National League, led by Steve Wolf
and Russ Ward, outlasted the American League, led by Cesar
Romero and Kevin Marden.
Bay State pitchers (Rich Wlodarczyk, Brian Cosentino,
Brian Houlding & Mike Vernon) took a no-hitter into
the 7th inning until the Santi Mazzeo of the A's broke
it up with a single. Still, the game remained 4-0 Bay
State going into the bottom of the 8th inning. It was
then that the Altantic loaded the bases. Santi Mazzeo
came to the plate again. This time, he stroked a 3-RBI
double into the gap to make the score 4-3. Santi scored
from second when a double-play went unturned to tie the
game at 4-4. The White Sox' Mike Pollak scored the go-ahead
run later that frame to make the score 5-4 Atlantic.
In the 9th inning with the game on the line for the Bay
State, the Tigers' Jon Pollard reached and stole second.
With two outs, the Astros' Shu Susaki singled to left.
Pollard attempted to score from second, but the Mariners
Jeff Rausch hosed JP at the plate on a perfect throw to
the White Sox Ivan Clemente to end the game. Jay Wisner
of the Cutters picked up the win tossing 2 innings of
1-hit relief.

Score: Bay State 7, Atlantic 5
Site: LeLacheur Stadium, Lowell, MA
MVP: Dan Sweet, Senators
Date: October 1, 2006
The BMBL All-Star Games were initially scheduled July
22, but was rained out and rescheduled after the conclusion
of the season. The MABL All-Stars got in 7 innings before
the rains shortened the game. The Bay State Stars defeated
the Atlantic Stars, 7-5, for their 4th straight win. See
the rosters and pictures.
Both MSBL games were rained out. The American League never
got to battle the Federal League, nor did the National
League rivals get to battle. A seemingly appropriate exclamation
point to the rainiest season in memory.
All-Star MVP, Dan Sweet. |
