1990 ASA Industrial Men’s Major Slow Pitch Nationals

1990 / ASA / ASA Industrial Slow Pitch
November 30, 2018

1990 held at Tupelo, Mississippi on August 30-September 1.

Champion – Sikorsky Aircraft, Shelton, Connecticut
Runner Up – MCA Blue Pipefitters, Cincinnati, Ohio

Sikorsky went 6-0 and to win the ASA Major Industrial national tournament. Mark Tremblay earned MVP honors for Sikorsky. The last time he won the MVP, he was an outfielder. This time, he was the Pitcher and he was a defensive menace to every team in this tournament. Trembley hurt his arm when he was an outfielder. So he switched to pitching and the move has cemented Sikorsky’s infield to one of the best. He is the 5th infielder in there. In the winner’s bracket final, with Trembley twirling and the defense playing lights out, they shut out MCA Blue 4-0. After MCA eliminated Rohr of Alabama to get another crack at Sikorsky, it was the same thing. Defense …. Sikorsky won the national title 8-1.

Mark Tremblay has been chosen Most Valuable Player in a national tournament before, but never as a pitcher. Sept. 3 he did just that for Sikorsky Aircraft of Shelton, CT.

Tremblay’s hard-nosed play up the middle sparked Sikorsky’s defense. giving the team its sixth ASA Men’s Major Industrial Slow Pitch National Championship since 1979. Sikorsky beat the MCA Pipefitters of Cincinnati 8-1 in the championship game at the Eastwood Softball Complex in Tupelo. MS.

“I’ve always prided myself on my defense, especially when I was playing outfield,” he said. “We’ve got one of the best defensive infields around and I just wanted to be a part of it. Defense is what won the game for us.”

Sikorsky rode a rough horse into the championship. beating defending champ Delta Re/Max from Fayetteville, GA, 12-10 Sept.2. The Connecticut team shutout MCA 4-0 in the winners bracket finals. Tremblay’s defense was a big part of that win.

Sikorsky’s 4-0 win dropped MCA to the losers bracket final, where it beat Rohr #1 of Foley, AL. 6-3. In the championship game Tremblay only had three chances, but he earned the out every time.

MCA manager John Henegar said Sikorsky’s defense, combined with MCA’s lackluster hitting, made the difference in MCA’s first tourney appearance since 1981.

“We just didn’t hit the ball like were capable of,” Henegar said. “They got of down and stayed on top of us.”

Temperatures climbed to 100 degrees, but neither coach complained about the heat.

“We kind of like hot weather,” Sikorsky’s Gene Kwalek said. Every national tournament we’ve played in for be last five or six years has been in the South or Southwest.

Henegar, whose team draws some players from Kentucky, said: “I really don’t think the heat hurt us. We just didn’t hit the ball. We went cold.”

Sikorsky finished the tourney 6-0. while MCA came in at 6-2. Third-place Rohr was 5-2. while the Dow Pirates of Lake Jackson. TX, were 5-2 in fourth place.

1988 ASA Industrial Men’s Major Slow Pitch Nationals

1988 / ASA / ASA Industrial Slow Pitch
November 30, 2018

1988 held at Lakeland, Florida.

Champion – Publix, Lakeland, Florida
Runner Up – Sikorsky Aircraft, Stratford, Connecticut

Publix went through the winners bracket undefeated (6-0), they beat Sikorsky 21-16 in the winner’s bracket semi-final on the strength of Jeff Woodward’s 3 home runs and 6 RBI. They then defeated General Dynamics of Sterling Heights, MI 6-4 in the winner’s bracket final. Then sat back as Sikorsky defeated General Dynamics 21-15 in the losers bracket final in a game called by rain in the 7th inning. The rains continued to the point where the fields were unplayable. They even tried to reschedule it later in the day, but to no avail, so Publix, by virtue of being the only undefeated team was named the National Champion. Sikorsky was the Runner-up and General Dynamics was third. The win was a total team effort for Publix as Dan Roberts, the leading hitter for Publix batted .600. Jody Perryman (.588), Woodward (.583), Clyde Chenault (.583) and shortstop Dave Gartell (.565). These were the only players over .500.

MVP – Jeff Woodard, Publix (14-24, .583, 9 HR)
