Fall Season Begins
August 12, 2008
The Big League 30's 16U team has concluded it's Spring/Summer schedule.
During this upcoming fall season, the team will compete in 17U/18U events with the exception of the 2008 WWBA Underclass World Championships in Ft. Myers, FL where they will field a team with players exclusively from the class of 2010 and younger.
Highlights from the Big League 30's Spring/Summer Season:
30's Capture Triple Crown's "July 4th Classic" Championship
July 7, 2008
The Big League 30's 16U put forth a true team effort in winning the Triple Crown Sport's "July 4th Classic" held at various locations throughout northern New Jersey. Sixteen teams from NY, NJ, MD and PA made up the field for this event and the 30's captured the gold by beating Jack Cust Diamond Jack's Blue in the final.
In the biggest nail-biter of the year, the 30's knocked off the NY Gothams for the second time in this tournament to win the semi-finals. With the 30's winning by a score of 4-1 late in the game, the Gothams tied it up and sent the game into a "California tie-breaker" where each team begins extra innings with a runner on second. Both teams went scoreless in the 8th. The Gothams took a one run lead in the top of the 9th but the 30's hung tough and stormed back to win the game with two in the bottom of the 9th.
In the championship, the 30's got the bats going early and jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the top of the 1st. They never looked back, rolling to a 13-6 win just as the stadium lights went out at 11:00pm.

Longest Winning Streak at WWBA Tournament Ends

7/19/2008 2:05:00 PM
The Big League 30's victory over the East Cobb Astros 15s ended the longest winning streak any team had ever had coming into a WWBA event. The Astros had won more than fifty straight games before being defeated 2-1 in the 11:30AM game here at the East Cobb Complex. Big League pushed accross what ended up being the winning run with a suicide squeeze in the top of the 7th inning. Congratulations to both teams on a great game.

WWBA Run Ends With Heartbreaking 10-9 Quarter-final Loss to Cust Gold
July 20, 2008
The Big League 30's magnificent run at the WWBA National Championship came to an end late Satuday night with a wild 10-9 loss to Jack Cust Gold (Flemington, NJ).
The game featured plenty of runs and pitching changes and was stopped by the strict two-hour tournament rule time limit after the top half of the 4th inning.
The 30's jumped out early to a 3-0 lead then stretched that lead to 5-0 in the top of the 2nd inning.
But Cust Gold answered with 4 runs in the bottom half of the 2nd inning to make the score 5-4.
The 30's responded by tacking on 3 more in the top of the 3rd and held an 8-4 lead.
Cust Gold then put up 6 big runs in the bottom of the 3rd to grab a 10-8 lead.
The never-say-die 30's answered back by scoring 1 in the top of the 4th and then loading the bases with two outs. But the game ended on a ground ball to short and a force-out at second base.
A tough way to end the tournament for sure, but the 30's have to be proud of a top 8 finish in the WWBA National Championship where 136 of the top teams in the country were fighting for the title.
