Flagler Baseball wins another championship
Team Flagler won its third ISSA 60-AA World Championship in four years this past weekend in Dover.
Team Flagler first played the Low Country Crushers out of Charleston, South Carolina. Flagler came from behind to beat them 16-15 behind John Martellucci (two doubles and four RBIs) and Steve Bolter (four hits and four RBIs).
After its bye in the first round of the knockout stage, Team Flagler Saturday began against Charlotte Senior Sports, whom the locals beat 19-9, led by Tom Knott and Rick Rotevera (four hits each).
Flagler faced Ranews from Acworth, Georgia, for the championship. The locals had previously beaten them 22-13, but Ranews put forth a better effort while still losing 13-10.
Bolter was awarded tournament MVP, and he and John Martellucci, Rick Rotavera and Jim Zgorzelski were selected to the All-Word Team.
Team Flagler has won eight of its 13 major tournaments in the last five years, but this the group will be leaving 60-AA to move up to 65U in its next tournament in Valdosta, Georgia, in April.
Palm Coast Sparrows remember the Wickels with uniforms
The Palm Coast Sparrows wore all-black uniforms for their match against Hogtown Lacrosse Club on Sunday, Jan. 29, to remember and express their condolences mother and daughter Terri and Margaret Wickel, who recently died in a car crash.
“I went to school with Jesse Flores (Terri’s son), and we’re best friends,” said Team President Byron Catroppa. “I know what he's going through, and I want him to know that we have his back 100%.”
Some of the Sparrows also went to Matanzas High School with Margaret and knew the family.
The Palm Coast Sparrows record 18-8 will next play three games to determine their playoff rank, in Del Ray Beach. Visit Palmcoastsparrows.com or Facebook.com/palmcoastsparrows for more information.
