The Patterson Park baseball team sponsored by Alec’s Day Spa and Salon won the Patterson Park Major League Tournament on June 22. The number 4 seed Alec’s Spa beat the number 2 seed Kettering Health Network 2 - 1. The third time was definitely the charm for the “Spa Boys” in a classic matchup between the best offensive team in the league (KHN - 129 runs scored) against the best defensive team in the league (Alec’s Spa - 50 runs scored against).
Alec’s Day Spa team efficiently utilized their five hits and two walks. Ethan Cohen scored in the first inning on a passed ball. Andrew Kadash knocked in Peter Stoecklein in the fifth inning in what would be the winning run. Nick Clarkson had a no hitter going into the sixth inning and completed the game with 8 K’s, 2 walks and 1 hit. The bottom of the sixth was full of electricity as Alec Spa’s relief pitcher Will Beyer was warming up in the bull pen. Nick was backed up by the strongest defensive team in the league that made no errors in the game. Key plays included infielder Pete Stoecklein’s back handed catch of Henry Morris’ first inning line drive up the middle. Andrew Kadash and Brock Stechschulte made crucial stops with pin point bullet throws to Reid Rupp. Jack Minser and Henry Morris pitched well for KHN.
Alec’s Spa beat the number 5, 1 and 2 seeds by a combined 3 run margin with solid defense, pitching, timely hits and tons of emotion. The victory march started in another pitchers dual with Taft’s Steven Beal on the mound. Alec Spa prevailed 1-0. The game was full of spectular catches capped with excellent outfield plays by Ethan Cohen and Jarod Logsdon. Alec’s Spa beat the top seed Mainline Supply in a semifinal extra inning slug fest with timely hits by Patrick Horine, Mike McGinnis and Stefan Stropki. The final out of the game was a center field cannon throw from Brock Stechshulte to Alec Mueller.
The number 2 seed Kettering Health Network beat number 8 seed Kegelmeyer and number 3 seed Clark Pharmacy to reach the Championship game.
A good year at Patterson Park is concluded. Fall hitting league will start soon. Check www.pattersonparkbaseball.org for registration details.

It does not get much more exciting than the Championship tournament for the Patterson Park Little League, Minors Division. After finishing the regular season, 18-0, the Dayton Orthopedic Institute Giants stumbled with a loss to Jacox, Meckstroth, & Jenkins. In order to be crowned little league champs, the team had to survive a double elimination tournament.
After their first loss of the season, the Giants fought their way back into the finals, but had to beat the Jacox team twice in order to win the tournament. The mighty Giants found themselves as underdogs with the difficult task of beating the same team two times within a few days - and they did just that; winning the final game in dramatic fashion with a score of 12 to 3. When asked who the MVP was for the game, Manager Sam Fiore said, “This is a team, baby - they are all most valuable players.” Congratulations to all of the players and coaches for both teams for a fine season and an exciting Championship.

Players selected to be on the state team attend the regional camp in Dekalb, Illinois, where competitions and tryouts will continue for possible id to the national pool.

Dayton Boat Club 4th at rowing championship
Dayton Boat Club finished its spring season with a fourth-place finish at the US Rowing Youth National Championship held June 13-15 at Harsha Lake in Cincinnati.
The women’s 4+ boat, rowed by Molly Bruggeman (Oakwood, CJ junior), Annie Haley (Oakwood, CJ senior), Katie Holtvogt (Centerville HS 2008 graduate), and Moriah Pendergrass (Dayton, Dominion Academy senior) with Abby Meyers (Dayton, CJ senior) as the coxswain, missed a medal by .3 seconds.
DBC head coach Mike Miles of Oakwood reported, “This was the club’s first time to be in the grand final at this regatta. The six-boat final was very tight, with the second, third, and fourth-place crews all within a half-second of each other. A last-minute charge from the boat from Newport, which had been in fourth place for most of the race, upended our boat’s hope of getting a bronze medal. Our girls made a valiant effort, though, and should be proud of their work.”
The other DBC boat in the invitation-only competition was the men’s lightweight 2x, rowed by Oakwood High School students Patrick Murphy (2008 graduate) and AJ Montesano (senior) and coached by Dave Sutter. Their boat finished sixteenth in the US, also a club best. Competition in this field was extremely tough, with strong teams from throughout the country in head-to-head contention.
Dayton Boat Club activities continue through the summer. Information about learn-to-row camps and other rowing opportunities can be found on the club web page, www.daytonboatclub.org.

They had a fantastic season and superb performance in the playoffs and championship game on June 25, 2008. In the playoffs, the 2 best teams in the league duked it out 3 times in the double-elimination tournament! Though they finished as league runners-up to Sam Fiore’s Orthopaedic Institute team, Brian Hoecht’s coaching philosophy developed a great team whose players excelled and, most importantly, had fun!
