SHAWVILLE
Sept. 7, 2018
On Friday night, the Shawville Men’s Fastball League wrapped up their season with the championship game between the Trudeau Collision Brewers and the Tubman Autobody Twins.
A sizable crowd turned out to Elwood Dale Ball Field to take in the action and the RA Hall was open for refreshments.
The game was hard-fought from both sides, with hardly anyone getting past second base let alone scoring a run. In the top of the fourth, the Brewers’ Steve McCord managed to knock in a run to put his team in the lead.

The Twins nearly struck back in the fifth, stealing third with a bunt and nearly sealing the deal, had it not been for the Brewers’ pitcher Trevor Lahey. The next hit nearly nailed him below the belt, but Lahey managed to get a piece of it and tag out the runner to end the inning.
Though the Twins put up a valiant effort, with pitcher Todd Hearty firing heaters all game, they couldn’t overcome their opponents and the remaining two innings were blanks.
Final score, 1-0 Brewers.
