1989 ASA Men’s Super Slow Pitch Nationals

1989 held at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Champion – Ritch’s Salvage, Harrisburgh, North Carolina (67-10)
Runner Up – Starpath/Kirk’s Glass, Lexington, Kentucky (52-23)

One week prior to this event, Ritch’s Salvage upended favored Superior/Apollo 26-24 in the bottom of the 7th inning of the “if” game as Greg Whitlock’s walk off homer with Mike Nye on base won the “Major” title for Ritch’s.  In an unprecedented event, Ritch’s Salvage came from the loser’s bracket as they lost their opening game to Stewart’s of Pittsburgh 45-14.  They then won six straight games and defeated Starpath/Kirk’s Glass 30-25 to capture the “Super” title.

In the Championship Game, Fred Trice (4 HR), Bill Gatti (3 HR), Jeff Stamps (3 HR), Dan Griffin, Britt Hightower, Mike Nye, and Charles Wright all hit 2 HR.

For Starpath, Bruce Rains and Gary Jones both his 2 HR. This was the first and ONLY time a team won the Major and Super titles in the same season.  The wind was a big factor in this tournament as it was blowing out hard in the first two days of competition. 125 HR were hit in the four games played Thursday Night and on Friday in the nine games played, 363 HR were hit.

Steele’s hit 56 in one game.

The last two days, the wind turned and was blowing in and things were very different. The format was two 7-team brackets playing double elimination with the two winners playing a one game championship.

In some individual accomplishments, Charles Wright (Super MVP) was first team All American in both Super and Major.  Rick Scherr, Mike Nye, and Cody Wyatt also garnered first team selections on both.  Don Clatterbaugh, Dale Mayo and Stave Yancey were all first team Super and second team Major.

Dave Steffen was 2nd team Super and 1st team Major, while Steve Craven and Doug Roberson were second team in both Super and Major. Worth Mentioning was the fact that the HR champ, Britt Hightower made an incredible diving catch to save the game for Ritch’s in the bottom of the 7th inning with two outs and two men on base.

Former Major Leaguer Doug Flynn earned the ASA Wilson Field Master Gold Glove award as the outstanding defensive player in the tournament.  For the record, Charles Wright and Mike Nye were the only two Ritch’s players to be named first team All-American in both the Major and Super events.

1989 ASA Men’s Major Fast Pitch Nationals

1989 held at Decatur, Illinois on August 15-22.

Champion – Penn Corp, Sioux City, Iowa (91-24)
Runner Up – Decatur Pride, Decatur, Illinois (98-24)

Penn Corp sent Decatur Pride to the losers bracket with a 12 inning, 3-2 victory. Paul Magan pitched the victory over Michael White of the Pride. Decatur then defeated Guanella Brothers 2-0 on Brent Stevenson’s shutout over Chubb Tangaroa of Guanella. The Pride won the the first final behind Mike White 1-0 on an unearned run. Jimmy Wana pitched a brilliant game for Penn Corp, but took the loss. Wana started the final championship game, but gave up back to back HRs to Ted Hicks and Brian Rothrock in the first inning to bring on Magan in relief. Mike White started the final game for Decatur and hurled 5 inning before being replaced by Brent Stevenson. Magan pitched from the second inning on to get the win for Penn Corp. Trent Rubley and MVP Bill Boyer also were the hitting stars in the 4-2 final game.

It was a great defense and the deep pitching staff of Penn Corp who played a big part in this title. Paul Magan, Jimmy Wana, Pete Sandman and Steve Schultz all pitched when called upon.  Decatur’s Mike White out-dueled Jimmy Wana 1-0 in the first final to force the “if” game.  Then White came back again in the final game, only to lose (4-2) behind the pitching of Penn Corp’s Paul Magan. Brian Rothrock and Ted Hicks both homered to give Decatur a 2-0 lead, only to have Trent Rubley and MVP Bill Boyer start an improbable (4-2) comeback victory.

Jimmy Wana  (1-1, 17 IP, 20 K) and Steve Schultz (1-0, 7 IP, 11 K) were the other Penn Corp hurlers.
