Lou DeSaro

Louis A. DeSaro (1935-2022)

Lou was the Dayton ASA Commissioner from 1981-2004. He passed away on November 21, 2002.

“There was nothing Louis wouldn’t do for his family or friends as someone who always put others needs before his own. He faithfully served his country in the United States Air Force from September 23, 1954, to May 23, 1958, and retired as the Directorate of Contracting and Production at Defense Electronics Supply Center with over twenty years of government civilian service.

A true advocate for the sport of softball, Louis was recognized for over 45 years of devoted service as Commissioner for USA Softball of Dayton and was enshrined into the USA Softball of Ohio Hall of Honor in 1991. He garners many contributions to the sport, including the “Summer Fun Softball”, a program he started in effort of helping inner-city children learn fundamentals of softball. The program later became a model for cities around the country and was featured in three national softball magazines.

Louis was preceded in death by his wife and the love of his life, Sharon DeSaro. He was survived by his 4 daughters, 9 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren, and 1 brother. Louis was a devoted and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend.”

A memorial for Louis will be held at St. Helens Catholic Church, located on Burkhardt Road in Dayton, Ohio, on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at 11:00 am. There will be a celebration of Louis’ life immediately following the mass at Sons of Italy Club (Bella Villa Hall), 2625 Country Line Road, Dayton, Ohio.

2022 ASA Men’s Major Fast Pitch Nationals

2022 held at Byers Softball Complex in South Bend, Indiana on August 4-7.


Champion – NY Gremlins, Clifton Park, New York
Runner Up – Hill United Chiefs, Machias, New York


The 90th annual USA Softball Men’s Major Fast Pitch National Championship concluded today as the NY Gremlins claimed the 2022 Championship title with a 7-0 (five innings) run-rule victory over the J&B Bombers. With an undefeated record through the four-day tournament, the Gremlins recorded three run-rule, shutout victories while outscoring their opponents 43-15 in five games played en route to their second-consecutive and seventh overall Men’s Major Fast Pitch National Championship title.

Both the NY Gremlins and the J&B Bombers started the tournament strong with back-to-back shutouts on Friday to send them into a head-to-head battle on Saturday morning. The close-fought contest came down to the wire as the Bombers were unable to muster a seventh-inning comeback with the Gremlins pulling out the 6-5 victory to advance in the winner’s bracket, going on to claim another hard-earned, 10-inning victory over Hill United Chiefs to claim a spot in the Championship game on Sunday afternoon. Despite the loss to the Gremlins on Saturday morning to send them to the loser’s bracket, the Bombers rallied back with a shutout win over Kitchener Hallman Twins later in the day followed by back-to-back victories on Sunday morning to keep the momentum going and advance to the Championship contest for a rematch against the Gremlins.

Remaining dominant in the final game, the NY Gremlins came out strong with two walks, a double and a single to put up two quick runs to start off the game. A home run off the bat of Ladislao Malarczuk in the second inning tacked on another run for the Gremlins before breaking the game open in the bottom of the third with a string of base hits and walks to score four more runs and extend the lead, 7-0. Andrew Kirkpatrick and the Gremlin defense kept the Bombers at bay through five innings of play, allowing only three hits as the Gremlins closed out the game with a strikeout, ground out and fly out in the top of the fifth to claim the 2022 Men’s Major Fast Pitch National Championship title in run-rule fashion.

Zenon Winter led the Gremlins with a .500 batting average through the tournament while Mathieu Roy and Nick Mullins each put up a .417 average to contribute to the team’s dominant offensive performance. The Gremlins totaled 49 hits in five games including 10 doubles and seven home runs while the pitching staff of Kirkpatrick, Josh Pettett and Sammy Villalvazo combined for 37 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched with an ERA of 3.28.

Jeanne Contel

Jeanne Contel (1928-2022)

“Born in Oakland, Calif., Contel graduated from Freemont High School and later San Francisco State College with a degree in Physical Education before becoming a teacher and a tennis coach. She went on to obtain her Administrative Credential, a Counseling Credential and a Master’s degree and became the Dean of Girls at Fresno High School and later the first female Principal in the San Joaquin Valley. Contel loved Fresno High, the students, the faculty and the parents.

Contel began her fast pitch career in 1944, playing for various local teams in Alameda, Calif. and Oakland, Calif. before joining the Fresno Rockets in 1951. As one of the most versatile athletes on the team, Contel led the squad to three ASA National Championship titles (1953, 1954, 1957) while earning five First-Team and one Second-Team All American honors in her 14 years on the Rockets. An integral part of every team she played on, her performance at third base earned her an induction into the National Softball Hall of Fame in 1969. Fresno High School celebrated her accomplishment by honoring her with a ‘Jeanne Contel Day’ before her selection into the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame in 1976.

Aside from being an administrator and a softball player, Contel was also a woodworker. A hobby that lasted her whole life, she built two roll top desks as well as many gifts for friends and family. In retirement, Contel became a golfer and enjoyed the game and friendships she developed. At the age of 92, Contel was still playing golf.

Contel leaves behind a nephew Gregory Dicker, a grandniece Jeannette Dicker and a grandnephew Gregory Dicker. She will be dearly missed by all her friends and associates.”
