The 2014 NWAMSBL season started off rather innocuously with what
looked to be a new balance of order among returning squads. The
last year's runner's up, NWA White Sox started the season 0-5 and last
year's last place finishers, the Wingnuts started off 5-0. What
remained constant was the returning champions, X-Tinct, who seemed to
plow through the regular season like an army of rhinoceroses...or in
their self-imposed case, dinosaurs. The early part of the
season, hitting dominated pitching as par, but as hitters took stride,
the balance swayed...the above mentioned teams (other than the X-Tinct)
reversed course with the White Sox winning 10 straight heading into
the playoffs and the Wingnuts dropped 9 straight dropping from what
might have been a 2-seed to a 6-seed. The Orioles held the
second best record in the NWAMSBL heading to the playoffs and earned
the top spot in the bracket opposite the X-Tinct, but fell victim to
the 7-seed Dodgers in round one. The Browns, who suffered seven
early losses had a terrific team when all showed, but they managed to
escape their bracket to advance to the 2014 championship game at AA
Royals' Affiliate NWA Naturals' Arvest Ball Park to take on the
undefeated X-Tinct who advanced from a re-match of last year's final
versus the White Sox who managed to give them their best test of the
season in the semi-final. The X-Tinct never let up, however, and
took the 2014 title with an unscathed record and a 10-0 run-rule
victory in the championship game over the Browns.
The championship game seemed a relatively close affair through the
first 7 innings with the X-Tinct scoring only one run in each of the
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th innings taking a 4-0 lead into the bottom of
the 8th where they tacked on the needed 6 runs to close out the
run-rule final. Offensive standouts for the X-Tinct: Tieler
Driscoll (3-3, 2R, BB, HBP, K), Josh Vanderpool (3-5, 2RBI), Kasey
Cooper (2-4, R, 2RBI, BB, 2SB), Corey Campbell (2-3, 2B, BB).
Kasey Cooper gets the win on the mound as the X-Tinct held the Browns
offense to two meaningless hits by Julio Cruz in the 5th and Jared
Knox in the 6th, one BB, and 16 Ks through 8 innings. Corey
Campbell earns the voted MVP award from his teammates.
The 2104 NWAMSBL All Star game was won by the "8632" Team with what
was deemed an "unknown score...but we are pretty sure it was 'a lot to
not-as-many'." But the game was a real hoot on both sides and a
great opportunity for players from the entire league to gather
together and build camaraderie while getting to perform on one of the
most beautiful playing surfaces in America at Arvest Ball Park.

Congratulations to the Browns and the X-Tinct
for both advancing to the 2014 NWAMSBL Championship Game at Arvest
Ball Park to be held on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at 12:30pmCST.
I would like to invite ALL of our NWAMSBL membership to attend this
prestigious event. It is being offered at FREE admission to see what
could stack up to be a great baseball game on a beautiful Fall
afternoon. Immediately following that game, there will be the 2014
NWAMSBL All Star Game between the "8541" Team and the "7632" Team. I
still do not have the names of all participants, but we need to make
sure to have FOUR (4) representatives from each of the 8 playoff
teams. That will give us 16 players per side. If your designated All
Star cannot attend, please send an alternate. When I have all of the
names, I will list them on our website.
Final scores from the 2014 playoffs:
Quarter Finals:
Diamond Hawgs 0 X-Tinct 10
Cardinals 6 White Sox 7
Semi-Finals:
White Sox 1 X-Tinct 4
Quarter Finals:
Dodgers 3 Orioles 2
Wingnuts 7 Browns 11
Semi-Finals:
Dodgers 0 Browns 9
Thanks for a great season and thanks to all of the board members who
were instrumental in making the season go and continue to work amid
some logistical snags...Special attention to Charles Fowler for
securing the fields and to Keith Wheeler for a terrific job in putting
together the schedules. These tasks are never easy and they both
performed with excellence. This league is a great example of a "really
good" small market league. However, we can only ever be "great" when
we all work together. Not just board members who only come together to
solve grievances, but PROACTIVE board members who take reins and make
things happen to benefit the league. Let's build on this season in
that way, eh?
See you next Sunday at Arvest Ball Park...

Today the Nuts took on the Orioles and
Diamond Hogs in a doubleheader. The Nuts swept the doubleheader
beating the Orioles 11-5 and Diamond Hawgs 12-2 behind complete games
from Joe Don Dawes and Jim Bob Tackett. Joe Don is now 2-0 and Jim Bob
is now 3-0 on the season! Keeping the Wingnuts undefeated on the young
season at 5 & 0! Good times being a Nut!--Marc DeWeese, Wingnuts
Cardinals 8 Orioles 17
The Orioles got of to a fast start,
taking a 9-0 lead after the first inning but the always scrappy
cardinals added 2 runs in the second third and fourth innings making
the game interesting. Chris Gatlin pitched a great game going the
distance getting help from his defense to notch his first win of the
season, the Orioles are 2-1 as we go on to win, the final score
Orioles 17 Cardinals 8.--Reggie Smith, Orioles
Wingnuts 10 White Sox 6
The Wingnuts took the field tonight to
take on the White Sox who are always a good measuring tool to play
against. They are always a yearly top of the standings team. The Nuts
were able to get out to a 8-1 lead over the first few innings. The Sox
were able to close the gap to 8-6 by the 6th inning, but the Wingnuts
were able to plate 2 runs in the top of the 7th to extend their lead
to 10-6. Jim Bob Tackett finished the game off for Joey Dawes who was
stellar again in his 3 innings of work only allowing 1 run.
Dawes 3-3 2RBI, 2B, 2R; Kipness 3-4 3RBI, 2B, R; Motz 2-4 RBI, 2B, R;

win.

Matt Garza lead the Dodgers in hitting going 3-3, one walk, two
doubles and a single.
A very good opening game with a skeleton crew--Charles Fowler,
Dodgers

Today the Wingnuts kicked off their season with a double header
sweep of the Dodgers and Braves. The first game against the Dodgers

complete game win of Joe Don Dawes! Evins 1-4 RBI, 2B, 2R, SB; DeWeese
3-4 2RBI, 2R; Engelhardt 4-5 4RBI, 2B, 4R; Motz 1-3 2BB, 2R; Kipness

Having fun being Nuts!!!!!--Marc DeWeese, Wingnuts
Orioles 4 Browns 1
Browns 5 Orioles 1
The first two games of the season start's out very competitive for
the Orioles. We faced a much improved Browns club with the biggest
improvement being the pitching staff, both games were very close the
Orioles take the first game behind Trent Fonville's complete game,
allowing 1 run over 7 innings with 8 strikeouts, the Orioles take game
one 4-1. Game two, Chris Gatlin got the start for the Orioles, he
started out strong and then struggled a bit in the third inning, Mark
Popejoy came in and only allowed one run, the Browns take game two
5-1, Trent Wise took a shutout into the seventh inning before giving
up an RBI Double to David Valentini.--Reggie Smith, Orioles
