With thunderstorms looking off to the west, the ground crew worked diligently to repair the soggy field for the highly anticipate MAA Major Division Championship game on Tuesday, June 27.

As the starting time arrived, the field was nearly perfect and the game went off without a hitch. For Barron's Body Works, a team that got solid contributions from every member this season, the culmination of their hard work paid off as they defeated a tough and talented Chamber of Commerce in a fierce battle by a 5-3 score.

Having played each other a total of four times between the regular season and playoffs, these teams knew this game would be a pitcher's duel. Tiago Rodrigues started for Barron's and held Commerce to three runs on just three hits over three innings as Brian Gonzalez pitched a masterful game for the Chamber of Commerce, scattering seven hits over five innings.

After Chamber of Commerce took a 1-0 lead, Barron's struck back with three runs in the bottom of the second. After a single from Justin Gonzalez, Barron's loaded the bases on walks to Joe Bittner and Allen Silit. David Esselborn worked out a walk to force in a run. Robert Maloney fouled off several pitches before hitting a hard single to center to drive home two more.

However, Chamber of Commerce would tie the score in the top of the third when John Cloghessy ripped a double into the gap in right center to plate two runs.

Over the next few innings, the atmosphere became tense as Gonzalez settled into a groove, striking out five of the eight batters he faced and Mick Oswald came in to pitch the final three innings for Barron's, dominating hitters with his fastball.

It looked as though the game would go into extra innings as both teams refused to give up. But in the bottom of the fifth, after a Maloney single, Nelson Lopes, not known for his power, cranked a 2-2 fastball over the fence for a two-run home run, which gave Barron's a 5-3 lead.

Oswald struck out the side in the top of the sixth and Barron's became the first Mineola Major League Division Champions of the new century.

While no official records are kept on such matters, it is believed Barron's set an all-time record with six different players launching home runs over the fence this season. They were Joe Bittner, Marc Dadich, Nelson Lopes, Robert Maloney, Mick Oswald and Tiago Rodrigues. Other members of the team include Sal Cuomo, David Esselborn, Justin Gonzalez and Allen Silit.
