Meridians Baseball

An up and down season culminates in the Yankees 2nd Championship in 3 years!   Going in as the 5th seed, we stumble into the playoffs.   The missteps end there though as we run the table through the league's best, toppling the #1, #2 and #4 seeds in the process (Championship Final: 7-1 over the OS Suds).  

Chuck Moore paces the Yankees all year in RBI's, hitting at almost a .400 clip, providing all of our power (.824 slugging %) with 6 home runs on the summer including a solo shot in the championship final.   Fellow Meridians alum, Kevin McClung led the team in hitting (just under .400) and Runs Scored with both Fread (2nd on team in RBI's) and Cutter bolstering the rest of the middle of the order.

Cutter earns two of his Wins on the bump late in the year, giving the league-elite Royals 2 of their 6 total losses including in the winner's bracket semi-finals.   Cut also produced all of our scoring in the tourney semi-final, knocking in both of our runs in the 1st inning of a tight, 2-1 victory over the Sting.

Web geb of the Championship Final to McClung with a backhanded, sliding snare of a bullet in the hole and a perfect throw to Soto across the diamond.   Kevin also starts the double play to end the potential scoring threat in the 8th inning.
