On Sunday September 22 the the two remaining teams of the South St.
Louis Corkball League, Reinhold Electric AKA old-timers and
Kreighauser Mortuaries, met in a battle for the play-off crown.
The Starting Pitcher for the Kreigshauser boys was last years MVP Bob
Eller. Mike jockish, the oldtimers regular starting pitcher (ERA
0.03) was unable to play and thus, the crafty veteran Vern Weida had
to take the mound.
Both pitcher threw well and it looked like it was going to be a long
afternoon. However in the fourth inning Kreigshauser loaded the
bases for Buddha who put his belly behind a low fastball and punched
it to left field for a one to nothing lead. Bob Eller then went to
work scattering just a few hits over the last three innings on his
way to the playoff crown.
The day marked the last game for two veterans, Joe Fisch (28 years)
and Vern Weida (26 years) who have decided to retire from the
league. Thanks for all the great times guys.
