Press Release

The Midway Cardinals trailed 2-0 into their top-half of the fourth inning when the Redbirds tied up the game. With two outs in the top of the sixth, the Cardinals broke open the tight contest and erupted for six runs to lead 8-2. First baseman Alejandro "Hans" Del Valle highlighted the run with a two-run triple, while Harvey Campos and Anthony Garcia added RBI singles.

The Hometown Dodgers, which beat the Cardinals twice during their undefeated regular-season campaign, would not go down quietly. The first three batters reached base on singles before a grand slam cleared the bases. One out later, another Dodger went deep with a home run and closed the gap to one at 8-7. After a strikeout by Cardinals' pitcher Alexis Correa, the Dodgers' final batter grounded out to first unassisted to end the game and secured the Redbirds' back-to-back Pinto Division championship.

The Inter-League

We also have created a new boys inter-league with our neighbors to the south, Scottsdale and Hometown Baseball.

Most of the games will be played at West Lawn Park and a few games at Durkin and Patterson Parks to make a well rounded competitive season.

The New Madigan Field

Midway has been in contact with city officials and they have assured us the New Madigan fields will be ready for our 2011 season. We expect many new people will want to play at the new fields but we have decided players from the 2010 season will be allowed to register first.

Sponsors

We are continuing our sponsorship program where families who bring in sponsors to Midway can earn 20% of the total sponsor amount off their registration fees. Ask for a sponsor form at registration.

We are excited about the changes we have made and look forward to seeing you at registration.
