Announcement
The Washington Township Senators begin the defense of their two-time 38+ Championship on Sunday in a battle against old buddies the Delco Astros at Washington Township High School. Pat Dewechter will get the baseball for his first playoff start as a Senator. John Kosmosky is expected to get the starting nod for the Astros, though Jim DeCorso could also be a factor based upon his dominance of the Nats in his last start.
The friendly rivalry between the two clubs extends back to the 28+ days, when the two (much younger) teams would square off for legendary playoff battles. And the friendships deepened when many Senators joined the Astros, nee Delco Angels, for play in Florida. There is mutual respect, there is deep back-and-forth knowledge of personnel, and there are great baseball games ahead for sure.
The Senator lineup on Sunday will look like this:
1. Mark Alessandrini-CF
2. Dale Amos-LF
3. Dan Laudisio-C
4. Frank Izzi-1B
5. Dan Barbara-EH/1B
6. Jim McAllister-SS
7. Miles Reader-RF
8. Pat Dewechter-P
9. Chris Lawrence-3B
10. Frank Rose-EH
11. Bill Trotman-2B
Manager Frese has vowed to use his entire roster going forward, and everyone will be there and ready to go on Sunday, with the exception of slugger Ken Bevenour, who is done for the year due to a knee injury.
The Senators will have BP Wednesday night at WTHS in preparation for Sunday's battle. Hope to see you there.
