Search is on for AAABA sponsor
Three’s usually considered a crowd, but not in the AAABA League.
Commissioner Denny Altimore is hoping the league can find a sponsor by year’s end to take over an existing franchise. From Altimore’s perspective, that scenario certainly would be easier for a new sponsor than the typical task of building a team from scratch.

Livonia scores early, often to eliminate Delweld
The grand finale of the AAABA Tournament’s postgame fireworks display was erupting over the hillside behind Point Stadium on Friday night when Delweld manager Chris DelSignore made an observation.
“The fireworks started at 7 o’clock,” DelSignore said.
Unfortunately, DelSignore wasn’t talking about the colorful pyrotechnics in the sky. Instead, he referred to the Livonia Cobras’ 17-hit attack in the Michigan squad’s 16-0, mercy-rule shortened victory over Delweld.

New Orleans stops Cleveland
Trailing late in an elimination game in the AAABA Tournament, New Orleans manager Bill Babin put his trust in a few of his veteran players.
It paid off.
Joe Broussard pitched his way out of a jam and Sean McMullen hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run that sparked the Boosters to a 7-4 victory over Cleveland at Point Stadium Friday afternoon.
With the game tied at 1 in the fifth, New Orleans starting pitcher Craig Pellegrin tweaked a muscle pull that had sidelined him earlier in the season. Joshua Wood entered the game with a 2-0 count on Andrew Frey and threw two balls to him to force in the go-ahead run. Wood threw two more balls to cleanup hitter Kevin Bernay before Babin had seen enough.

AAABA Sidelights: Decision to return to AAABA League pays off for Delweld pitcher
Delweld ace Andy Smithmyer’s homecoming season has been filled with milestones and memories this summer.
But it will be tough to top Thursday’s performance in terms of excitement, adrenaline rush and significance. And, all of the superlatives occurred during one of Smithmyer’s shortest outings this season.
Smithmyer threw two innings in a closer role on only two days’ rest. He recorded six strikeouts and allowed one run as Delweld defeated Johnstown rival Martella’s Pharmacy 8-6 in front of an estimated 7,000 fans at Point Stadium.
