Tri-County League gains some respect, and a 7-1 win

Victory over Blue Mountain in annual league meeting is a huge boost for the Tri-Co.

If the National League beats the American League in St. Louis on Tuesday night, they're going to celebrate it. After all, the NL hasn't beaten the AL in Major League Baseball's All-Star Game since 1996.

But if it happens, it's hard to imagine the NL guys being happier than the Tri-County League all-stars were Friday night after the Tri-Co routed the Blue Mountain League 7-1 at Limeport Stadium in the annual showcase of the region's two amateur baseball leagues.

Justin Godusky of Volpe's Fleetwings went 2-for-2 with an RBI single to highlight a three-run second inning that sent the Tri-Co on its way to its first win in this annual grudge match since 2004.

The 2005 game wasn't played because of a controversial rainout that ended the event for two years before it was resumed last summer when the BML rolled to an 11-3 win.
 

The BML held a 12-4 lead in the series, and in the minds of some, had just as large a gap in prestige and esteem.

All that mattered little on Friday night as eight Tri-Co pitchers shut down the BML's best and the Tri-Co took advantage of some shaky BML defense.

''Obviously it wasn't their best game defensively,'' said Northern Yankees and Tri-Co manager Brian Polaha. ''But we capitalized on some of their mistakes with timely hitting. This was a nice win for the league because we lost badly to them last year.''

Polaha said he wasn't sure if some of the younger players realized the importance of the game for the Tri-Co's reputation.

''There's an aura about the Blue Mountain,'' Polaha said. ''A lot of people think they have a better league and that's fine, but I told our guys that we had a chance to go out for one night and take it to them.''

Godusky said the Tri-Co was motivated.

''The last couple of games with them were lopsided and we just wanted to give them a good, competitive game,'' he said. ''The Blue Mountain has always been successful, but we got up on them early, and then relied on good pitching and defense.''

Among those contributing offensively for the Tri-Co was Jake DeBoer with a sac fly and Brett Umstead with an RBI double.

Mike Newland singled in the lone BML run in the fifth inning.
