RoadKill wins it all in 2001- defeating Nicklebee’s in the best championship game..going 9 full innings…

Roadkill wins an all-time classic!!! Roadkill making their 4th finals appearance in their 7th year as a squad won two big games to win the title. The “Kill” who won the first game 8-5 had to regroup and beat a seasoned Nicklebee’s squad a second time to win the title. Game two was a extra inning classic! It went 9 innings with key hits and defensive gems for both squads. Many club box fans along the left field sidelines called this the best finals in ML-softball history. Rusty Cahill pitched a great game holding the powerful offense of Nickel bees to 9 runs. Roadkill got plenty of big hits including a two run homerun from Mark “Cheapo” Petine and a triple from Steve Jones. In a classic 7th inning Roadkill scored two runs to take the lead. In the bottom of the 7th Nicklebee’s needed 1 run to tie the game. They had second and third with no outs and it looked like the Kill was in trouble, until a play that will be known only as the “throw”. Tim Dean caught a fly ball in left and unleashed a bullet to home to just get a diving “Kells” for a double play. A clutch two out single tied the game. In the 9th inning Bob Miller and Fred Tucci led off with back to back singles and Coach Miller hit a ball deep to right center for a triple. Miller later scored on a sac fly from Bif Githens. Nicklebee’s scored one in the bottom of the inning and the game finally ended with a 11-9 final. Kevin Ross was named the tournaments MVP and hosted a victory party long into the night. Below is the expanded “Kids” version
