1962 held at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.


Champion – Tirabassi Excavators, Kenosha, Wisconsin (53-7)
Runner Up – Allen-Bradley, Milwaukee, Wisconsin


Tirabassi scored 6 runs in top of 7th inning to win the final over Allen-Bradley 10-5. Pitcher, Mario Bonafiglio’s 3-run homer was the big blow in the inning. That capped a run of 6 straight wins. Allen-Bradley came from the loser’s to win 5 games in the last day, before bowing to Tirabassi. 45 year old Pitcher Al Luick of Allen-Bradley hurled all ten of the teams games, including 6 straight games in an almost super-human effort to garner the MVP award. Tirabassi ended the season with a 53-7 record.
