Detroit Parks ‘N’ Rec had to defeat a Chatterbox team, made up of employees from Bendix of Hamilton, OH 18-3 in the loser bracket finals. Pharr Yarn defeated Bendix 8-2 to put them in the loser’s bracket. Detroit, already beaten by Pharr Yarn 17-6 in the winner’s bracket final lost a close 4-2 decision to Pharr Yarn in the championship game. Pharr Yarn was led by the big bat of Pick Biggerstaff. For Parks ‘n Rec, Tom Chappelle pitched all 7 games, going 5-2. Pitcher Carroll Beale of Pharr Yarn, Catcher Pick Biggerstaff and Second Basemen Toby Bradshaw were three of the reasons that Pharr Yarn outscored their opponents 69-21 in the 6 games. Jack Biggerstaff hit a titanic home run well over the left field fence to give Pharr Yarn a 2-0 lead in the 4th inning of the championship game. Detroit came back to tie the game in the bottom of the 4th on two McAdenville errors. The Yarn-men broke the 2-2 deadlock with Carroll Beale’s double and Jim Teeter’s Sac fly to give them a 4-2 lead that would hold up.
