Winter Indoor Workouts
We will begin indoor workouts Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10AM to noon at the Northeast Racquet Club located at 9389 Krewstown Rd, Philadelphia PA 19115. The club is at the corner of Krewstown and Grant Avenues. Friday morning I attempted to put together a test run of the facility with players whose opinions I respected. They couldn't be there so instead I had to use Bill Krieger, Tom Delaney and Ron Mangini. The session went very well.
We will be playing in a roller hockey rink with a floor similar to that at PRAC. Sneakers or running shoes will be the appropriate footwear. The rink is 80 feet wide and 145 feet long. The lighting is very good.
There are a couple of things you need to know. In order to cover the cost of using the facility we will be collecting $10 per session per participant. The facility will need to have a waiver on file in case you are injured while playing. You can print a pdf of the waiver below or sign one at the front desk on your first visit. You also will need to check in at the front desk for each visit.
The facility accepts silver sneakers. If you have silver sneakers ,you can include your silver sneakers number on the waiver and get a free membership. The facility is huge!

Starr 8 Blue Jays 7 (8 Innings)
Tuesday's championship game was a thrilling end to an amazing season. Starr vs Blue Jays. Top of the first Starr tried very hard to give the game away making 3 errors allowing the Blue Jays 3 runs to take the lead. Starr came back in the bottom of the first to put up 3 runs aided by Ron Fein's booming triple with two aboard. The Blue Jay's added 4 in the top of the 4th again aided by poor play and errors by Starr to take a commanding 7 to 3 lead. In the bottom of the 4th and 5th Starr pushed across a run in each inning to cut the lead to 7 to 5. In the bottom of the 6th Starr pushed across 2 runs with 2 outs and nobody on base. Big hit of the inning was a line drive hit down the right field line by Jack Donahue knocking in 2 runs to tie the game. In the 7th inning neither team scored, so extra innings again for Starr. In the top of the eight with a man on 2nd Starr elected to give out 2 intentional walks, put the bases loaded and 1 out. The next batter shot a grounded to short who threw to 2nd for out number 2 and Alan threw the hardest ball this season to first for an inning ending double play and no runs scored. Bottom of the eight with runner on 2nd and the bottom of our order up the first batter lined out to Jim O'Brien for out #1. Intentionally walking Bill Schwartz and up stepped our hero in the last game against the Blue Jay's and he singles to load the base. Up steps Jay Passman the hero of one of our playoff games and singles to left for the game winning hit again. The bottom of our order was productive again in a total team effort by all 14 players. Almost all of our playoff games were decided by 1 run and extra inning games. Our last 2 games with the Blue Jay's were all decided by 1 run. in the last inning and we were always behind. There were no losers in this great game.

The Blue Jays were unable to capitalize on opportunities to score later in the game. Starr scored the game winning run with 2 out in the 8th inning to win the tournament championship. Congratulations Starr.
