"How Has Belonging to a Local 440 Family Benefitted Me?"

_______________________________________________

First-time coach (and 2nd baseman) Brian Turner stepped up to the plate with quite a lot of pressure on his shoulders. After losing a member of the Local 440 family in July, everyone was quite determined to win one for Mike Brooks.  And win they did!  Out of the 5 games they won, Local 440 ended 3 of them early as a result of run rules, outscoring their opponents 78 to 26.  While the entire lineup contributed, with not one player batting under .500, the top averages were taken by Jason Rogier (.867), Ryan Jarboe (.857), and Tyler Stieneker (.765).  MVP pitcher, Ray Fletcher, led the team defensively with 18 strikeouts while getting the opposition to fly out for 40 outs.  Shortstop Jeff Perry led the infield, making several dives in the gap and turning double plays.  Local 440 hopes to return to the 41st Annual UA Tournament next year to battle in B Division, and bring home another championship.
