THE LOUISIANA CRUDE WAS FORCED TO PLAY TWO GAMES “BACK TO BACK” IN ORDER IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY FOR THE 35 AND OVER DIVISION OF THE RED STICK SENIOR MEN’S BASEBALL LEAGUE LOCATED IN BATON ROUGE, LA. THE CRUDE PLAYED THE GIANTS IN THE SEMI-FINAL GAME AND PREVAILED WITH A 21-9 WIN. AFTER A FIFTEEN MINUTE BREAK AND A HEAT INDEX OF 108 DEGREES, THE CRUDE TOOK ON THE UNDEFEATED REDS AND THEIR 9-0 PITCHER, ROB BERGERON. BEHIND THE FOUR-HIT, 14 STRIKEOUT PITCHING OF CODY CHURCH AND A HOME RUN BY CODY, THE CRUDE PREVAILED 9-4 IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ONLY NINE PLAYERS OVER SIX HOURS IN UNBEARABLE HEAT!

THIS WAS A GREAT “TEAM” ACCOMPLISHMENT UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PLAYER COACH GARY BLACKETTER. ALONG WITH CHAMPIONSHIP MVP CODY CHURCH, THE REST OF THE VICTORIOUS CRUDE PLAYERS ARE ALEXANDER GALLARDO, JOSE GONZALES, JR., CHRISTIAN GONZALES, BRADLEY HARRIS, JOHN PILAND, CHUCK BAILEY, RANDY PATTON AND JUSTIN DURRETT.
